How to use this IP lookup tool

Check your own IP address

Checking the public IP address of your current connection takes about five seconds and works on any device with a browser — desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone.

1. Open ip.tuti.lt in your browser. Detection starts automatically the moment the page loads. The small pulsing dot next to the label confirms the lookup is running, and the big card fills in within a second or two.
2. Read the main card. The large number is your public IP address, the badge on the right tells you whether it was reached over IPv4 or IPv6, and the line underneath shows your ISP and approximate city and country.
3. Check the two version cards. Directly below, the IPv4 and IPv6 cards show each protocol separately. A green “Detected” state means that route is active on your network; “No IPv6 route” simply means your provider has not enabled IPv6 for you yet.
4. Copy or refresh. The Copy IP button puts the address on your clipboard, and the Refresh button re-runs the whole detection — useful right after rebooting your router, switching networks, or toggling a VPN.

Remember that this is the address your connection presents to the internet, not the private 192.168.x.x-style address your devices use inside the local network.

Look up any IP address

Beyond your own address, the tool can investigate any public IPv4 or IPv6 address — handy for checking where a server lives, who operates a network, or whether an address is associated with a VPN.

1. Find the lookup box. It sits under the two version cards and is labelled “Look up any IP address”.
2. Type or paste an address. Both notations are accepted, for example 8.8.8.8 or 2606:4700:4700::1111. The example chips below the box fill in well-known addresses with one click.
3. Press Look up or hit Enter. The details grid scrolls into view with a banner confirming which address the results belong to.
4. Return to your own results. The Show my IP again button in the banner switches the panel back to your connection at any time.

Two useful behaviours to know: private and reserved ranges (like 10.0.0.5 or 192.168.1.1) are politely rejected, because they have no public location; and you can deep-link straight to a lookup by adding ?ip= to the URL — https://ip.tuti.lt/?ip=8.8.8.8 opens the page and runs that lookup automatically.

Understanding the details cards

After any lookup, four cards summarise everything the lookup databases know about the address. Here is what each row means:

See the approximate location on a map

Below the details grid, a map places a marker at the coordinates returned for the address. Treat it as a regional pointer: the pin usually lands at the centre of the city or suburb the database associates with the address, and occasionally at the ISP’s regional office instead of the user.

If a VPN or proxy is active, the map shows the server’s location, not yours — that is exactly what makes it useful for verifying a tunnel. Map data comes from OpenStreetMap contributors.

Check that your VPN or proxy is working

One of the most popular uses of this tool is verifying that a VPN, proxy, or Tor setup actually does what it promises. The trick is a simple before-and-after comparison:

1. Record your baseline. With the VPN off, open the tool and note your address, city, country, and ISP.
2. Connect the tunnel and refresh. Press Refresh (or reload the page) with the VPN on. The address, city, and country should change to the VPN server’s values.
3. Read the security card. The Proxy / VPN row should now report something like “Yes — VPN”, and Network type should switch to a hosting or datacenter network rather than a consumer ISP.
4. Check both versions. Look at the IPv4 and IPv6 cards: if the IPv6 card still shows your real address while IPv4 goes through the tunnel, you have an IPv6 leak — most VPN clients have a setting to block or tunnel IPv6.
5. Repeat after reconnects. Server switches and app restarts can silently drop the tunnel, so it is worth re-running the check whenever the VPN reconnects.

If the location still shows your home country while you believe the tunnel is up, something is leaking — the comparison makes the problem obvious in seconds.

Troubleshooting common problems

“Could not detect your IP address”

This error means the page could not reach any of the public detection services. Check that your internet connection is up, then press Refresh. Ad-blockers, privacy extensions, DNS filtering, and some VPNs block the lookup services by name — pausing them for a moment usually fixes it.

The IPv6 card says “Not available”

That is not an error: your network simply has no IPv6 route yet. Many providers still run IPv4-only connections, and mobile networks vary by carrier. The page works perfectly with just one protocol.

The location looks wrong

Geolocation is database-driven and approximate. Results can point to a nearby town, your ISP’s regional hub, or be a few streets off after address ranges are reassigned. VPNs, proxies, and corporate gateways always resolve to the server’s location. If an address is persistently wrong, the correction belongs with the geolocation provider — see the contact page for guidance.

Details or the map do not appear

The IP detection and the geolocation lookup are separate steps; if the second one fails, you will see your address but no details. This is usually temporary — try Refresh a moment later.

Results differ from another IP website

Different sites query different databases, so small discrepancies are normal and expected. Neither result is “wrong” — they are different snapshots of the same constantly changing data.

Handy tips and tricks

1. Deep-link a lookup. Append ?ip= followed by an address to the URL — perfect for sharing a result in a support ticket, e.g. https://ip.tuti.lt/?ip=1.1.1.1.
2. Use it as a change detector. Keep the page open after router reboots or ISP calls and press Refresh to confirm whether your public address actually changed.
3. Watch the live clock. The Local time row updates every second using the address’s timezone — a quick sanity check when you need to know where a server “lives”.
4. Works everywhere. The page is mobile-friendly and needs no app or account; add it to your home screen for one-tap access.
5. Dark mode. The sun/moon button in the header toggles the theme, and your choice is remembered on the device via local storage.
