Learn how to track IP addresses effectively and responsibly
IP tracking is the process of identifying the geographic location and other details of a device using its IP address. An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique label assigned to every device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.
Before diving deep into tracking, it's important to understand the fundamentals. If you're new to this topic, we recommend reading our beginner's guide to IP addresses to get a solid foundation.
IP tracking works by analyzing the IP address assigned to a device by an Internet Service Provider (ISP). When you use an IP logger or tracker, you create a unique link that, when clicked, captures the visitor's IP address and sends it to your dashboard.
This process is simple and effective for many use cases. For a step-by-step walkthrough, see our guide on how to find someone's IP address.
