IP Locator

IP classification + approximate GeoIP with local-first source and optional fallback.

The tool first classifies the address as global, private, documentation, loopback, link-local, multicast and so on. When the IP is global, it tries the local GeoLite2 database first; if that is unavailable and the server has an IPinfo Lite token, the page falls back to a public country/continent/ASN lookup.

Enter the IP and read its context before geolocation.

1. Enter an IPv4 or IPv6 address without protocol, path or port.
2. Review the range classification: global, private, test, loopback, link-local, multicast and similar.
3. If the IP is global, check the source shown in the result: local GeoLite2 tends to provide city/coordinates; the free public fallback usually provides country/continent/ASN.
