Three small steps.

  1. Enter one IPv4 or IPv6 address without a port, URL or zone identifier.
  2. Choose a DNS provider and start the lookup.
  3. Review the normalized address, scope, reverse name and returned PTR records.

A few things to know.

Address details are classifications, not ownership or geolocation. Public PTR queries go through ToolMellow's server to the selected DNS provider. Private and special-use addresses are classified without sending their reverse name to a public resolver. DNS names can be absent, stale or misleading and do not establish identity. No port scanning, WHOIS, ISP identification or precise location is provided.

How your privacy works →

A little more clarity.

Does an IP address reveal a person's location?

This tool does not provide geolocation or identify a person. An address or reverse-DNS name alone cannot establish who uses a connection.

What happens with a private address?

The address family and scope are shown, but no public reverse lookup is made. Private PTR records normally belong to a local DNS server.
