IP Address Lookup

You should report the abuse rather than trying to handle it yourself if you're looking up an IP address because you've been the victim of IP abuse. Don't assume that the owner of the IP address is the person behind the abuse; it's common for the owner of the IP address to be unaware that their machine is being used as a host in an assault.

To learn more about the address, including how to report abuse, run an IP WHOIS Lookup. You can report the issue to the police or your Internet service provider, block the offending IP address, and let them handle it from there.

The IP address location lookup data may indicate Canada as the IP location, for instance, if you are in the US and the controlling agency of the IP is situated in Canada. On a mobile device, looking for an IP address in the northern US frequently returns a Canadian IP address. In a similar vein, if your ISP is based in that state, your IP address may reflect that.
