Step 1: Access the IP Info Tool
Open the "IP Info" tool on the HeronTool website. Paste an IPv4 or IPv6 address into the input box and click the "Query" button. The tool instantly returns detailed information including country, city, latitude/longitude, ISP (Internet Service Provider), and ASN (Autonomous System Number).
Step 2: Interpret the Results
The results are displayed in a clear table. Focus on:
- IP Address: Confirm the address you queried.
- Location: Usually accurate to the city level, helping you approximate the device's region.
- ISP/ASN: Identifies the network operator, useful for detecting proxies or data center IPs.
- Time Zone: Helps determine the user's local time.
Step 3: Use Advanced Features
HeronTool also offers a "Bulk IP Lookup" feature (below the IP Info page) where you can paste multiple IPs (one per line) for log analysis or security tasks. Additionally, each result has a "Copy JSON" button for easy integration into your own applications.
