I Built a Free IP Lookup Tool — Geolocation, ISP, Timezone in One Click

The Problem

Every developer, sysadmin, and security researcher needs to look up IP addresses regularly. Who owns this IP? Where is it located? What ISP is behind it?

Most existing tools are bloated with ads or require signup.

The Solution

IP Lookup — paste any IP address and instantly get:

  • Country, region, city with map
  • ISP and organization
  • ASN (Autonomous System Number)
  • Timezone
  • Latitude/Longitude with OpenStreetMap embed

Why This Can't Be Replaced by ChatGPT

ChatGPT can't make real-time network lookups. This tool hits live geolocation APIs and returns current data for any IP address.

Tech Stack

  • Next.js 16 + TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS
  • ip-api.com for geolocation data
  • OpenStreetMap for the embedded map
  • Deployed on Vercel

How It Works

  1. Enter any IP address (or click to auto-detect yours)
  2. Server-side API fetches geolocation data
  3. Results displayed with an interactive map

Completely free. No signup. No ads. No tracking.

Try it: iplookup-rho.vercel.app
