How do I find out where an IP number is actually from?

Question

I've received some harassing email in the past and blocked the person. I think this is the same person, but using a different email address and IP number to get around the block I have on him. I traced it but it comes out in Pennsylvania on one tracer, but also Missouri on another tracer?

Can a person in Kansas use an IP that traces to Pennsylvania and Missouri?
The IP is: 72.169.246.130

Answer 1

Use email trackers to find out more information's about email sender:

http://www.ipaddresslocation.org/email-tracking/email-header.php

http://www.find-ip-address.org/email-search/find-email.php



Only what you need to do is copy/paste email header from any email that you would like to trace back.



Good luck!

Answer 2

They are probably using a proxy. The proxy's IP address is what u are seeing. A person can appear to be anywhere in the world using a proxy.



About the only thing u can do is keep blocking them. And of course never respond to any emails. Eventually they will tire of it and quit when they get no response from u.

Answer 3

Check again, that IP is clearly outside of Wichita, Kansas. Or at least his connection is. Good luck.



However I can appear to be in Seoul Korea if I really wanted to. So hard to say.

Sure since ISPs have huge blocks of IP addresses and dynamically assigns an IP address to one of their customers when they open a browser. If you close all your browsers and open a new one, you could get a different IP address.
