"IPishnik", or officially IP-address (Internet Protocol Address) - the address of a device connected to a local network or the Internet. For any device connected to the Internet, it is written as four numbers from 0 to 255, separated by dots, for example, 172.22.0.1. By these numbers, you can find out the location of the device itself.
It is necessary
- - access to the Internet;
- - ability to use search engines.
Instructions
Step 1
You can check the IP address of any user's computer using one of the web forms of the application layer network protocol based on the TCP protocol. To do this, you need to drive a whois query into the search bar of any search engine (for example, Google, Yandex or Rambler), and then select the site you like. The most popular resources created for these purposes are currently sites such as: whois-service.ru, whois.net, ripn.net, ip-whois.net, nic.ru, whoisinform.ru, whois.com, pr -cy.ru and wwhois.ru.
Step 2
Whois is an application layer network protocol whose primary use is to obtain registration data for the owners of domain names, IP addresses, and autonomous systems. On the site of your choice, you need to find the IP check section, where you need to enter the IP address in the query string, the location of which you intend to check. After pressing the Enter button, an answer will appear on the screen, the completeness of which will depend on the service you have selected. The answer can be short or complete. For example, one option for a whois response might look like this: IP address: 46.146.132.222 Country: Region: Perm Krai City: Perm Latitude: 57.997169 Longitude: 56.235279 Your browser: Opera 9.x Operating system: Microsoft Windows NT Another option may include a more complete information.
Step 3
It is also worth paying attention to the provider of the owner of the IP address you are checking - in some cases, this information is written instead of the geographic location of the computer. Currently, 725 local providers operate on the territory of the countries of the former USSR, providing users with access to the Internet.
