How to find a person by IP address on VKontakte
All these id, ip, VPN, www and other Latin letters that make up structurally simple but complex words can confuse any Internet user. Well, okay, not just anyone, just beginners. And those who use the Internet, perhaps often, but do not delve into the depths of its essence. However, at a certain moment, almost everyone is faced with the need to understand these depths, and, naturally, just a lot of questions immediately arise. We will devote this article to one specific topic, or rather to solving one problem - finding out the IP address by VKontakte id.
What are ip and id?
If you are not new to the basic theory of social networks, then just scroll through the page to the desired section. But we think that for most readers it will be useful to know the basic principles on which the answers to the main question of the article are based.
So, you've probably often heard terms like ip and id. What is it? Let's start with the IP. This short abbreviation hides the term Internet Protocol, or Internet Protocol. We will not use a complex definition, we will simply explain that ip is a unique address of a node on the Internet, thanks to which nodes communicate with each other with the ability to transmit data. Naturally, the knots are not sea knots. This term simply refers to devices that have access to the network, that is, computers, smartphones, tablets, smart watches, etc.
Knowing the IP address, you can get important information about the device from which you accessed the network. In particular, the country and city, provider, device OS, and browser used are determined. Of course, this is all purely technical data that concerns more the computer than the user. However, in some cases, it is knowledge of the IP address that allows you to resolve serious situations.
Let's move on to the second term - id. This abbreviation is familiar to every person registered on social networks. ID refers to an identification number that is assigned to each user. Here there is already a connection not to the device, but directly to the person. More precisely to his account, because... one person can make several profiles, each of which will have its own individual number.
In general, id is something like ip, but within the framework of specific services. A person’s VKontakte ID, for example, is given upon registration and remains unchanged throughout the entire time they work on the social network. By the way, the situation with IP is different: it tends to change, with the exception of static addresses. But that's a completely different story.
Taking over someone else's account on the VKontakte social network is very simple, and anyone can do it
Miscellaneous 01/21/2018 | 4
The social network VKontakte is the most popular website in Russia, visited even more often than the search engines Google and Yandex. In this regard, almost every Russian has an account on this social network, which he can use to perform various tasks. Some communicate through social networks, some read news from public pages to always be in trend, and some even go there to listen to music.
Recently, absolutely every account on a Russian social network must be linked to a phone number, and the rule applies: 1 number = 1 page. In this regard, accounts on the social network VKontakte are linked to the numbers of almost all users. The Internet is full of sites that offer access to someone else’s account for free or for a certain amount of money, but they are all fraudulent.
However, there is still a very simple way to take over someone else’s account on the VKontakte social network, and anyone can use it. To do this, you need to get your hands on the “victim’s” smartphone, then from your smartphone, computer or any other device, go to the social network and click on the “Forgot your password” sign. In the form that appears, you must enter someone else's phone number, that is, the person whose page you want to hack in order to take over the account.
If everything is done as a rule, then a confirmation code will be sent to the “victim’s” phone number, which you need to enter on your electronic device. The VKontakte security system will ask you to enter the person’s last name, after entering which someone else’s account will fall into the hands of a potential attacker. It goes without saying that you can change the password and other data so that the true owner of the account has difficulty restoring access.
It is worth noting that the VKontakte social network records from which device and from which IP address the login was made, so it is best to perform all actions with at least an activated VPN, since this will avoid suspicion from a friend, work colleague or relative . After the joke is successful, you should confess everything, advising the “victim” to turn off the display of message contents on the locked screen. In this case, it will no longer be able to be hacked.

Is it possible to determine IP from VK ID?
Let's move on to the main question of the article: is it possible to find out the ip of a VKontakte user through id. Theoretically this is possible. Through cunning moves, through legal and not so legal methods, but it is possible.
Let's start by stating one important and accurate fact - you cannot officially obtain the IP of a person registered on VK through his ID. Such calculations, in principle, were not intended by the system. This information is confidential and can only be accessed by the user himself, the administrators of the social network and, if necessary, law enforcement agencies. You can determine the ID of a VKontakte page in no time, but this is not enough to obtain information on a person’s IP.
However, there are ways to get the information you need:
- Contact law enforcement agencies;
- Invite a person to communicate via e-mail;
- Use spy services;
- Hack account.
The most honest way is to involve law enforcement agencies. However, this option will only work if there are serious reasons, and this is its main disadvantage. It is clear that the police will not carry out a number of formal procedures so that you can find out your friend’s ip. But if we are talking about a crime, in particular fraud, then you need to contact the relevant authorities.
The second, no less honest way is to transfer communication to email. The fact is that e-mail headers contain important information, and through them you can find out a person’s IP address. Of course, this scheme is not suitable for the most common cases, when you cannot personally ask the user for his email address. Therefore, we move on to the next option.
We are talking about so-called spy services. One of the most frequently used spies is located on the 2IP service website. The point is this. You send a link to a person, he clicks on it, and the spy program records data, incl. ip. The main problem is to convince the interlocutor that the link is safe. Today, users are rarely fooled by offers to follow third-party links, because... everyone knows about the consequences - viruses, fraud, etc. And, of course, if you don’t communicate with a person in a chat, you can’t expect results.
So the last option remains - to hack your account and look at the very IP you are looking for on the browsing history page. But, probably, there is no need to explain that this method is illegal and immoral. Violating the boundaries of personal space and confidentiality is wrong, so we do not recommend resorting to this method, even if you really need to find out someone else’s VKontakte IP address.
Why is this necessary at all?
Still, it was necessary to start from this moment: why does it even occur to anyone to define this Internet Protocol? Apparently, there is a great belief that knowing an IP address can seriously help in identifying a specific person. Naturally, you don’t need to find out what IPs your friends have, because... you already know where they live, etc.
Most often, this issue is addressed in situations where scammers contact users through VKontakte. Unfortunately, cases of fraudulent activities through social networks are very common, and some people, despite regular warnings, still fall for the cleverly placed hooks of dishonest citizens.
Alas, even if you manage to calculate the IP, it is unlikely that you will find the person in real life. Most often, the specified IP address does not help track the attacker, because... Most scammers use anonymizers and VPN services. The task of these services is to disable real IP addresses and assign new ones that relate not just to other cities, but to other countries. You've probably encountered them if your provider blocked access to sites. Anonymizers and VPN applications work not only on PCs, but also on smartphones, incl. on iPhone.
So, we draw a conclusion from all of the above. Finding out people's IP addresses only by their VKontakte id is not the best idea. Simply because there is no direct relationship between them. It may also be impossible to find a person by IP address. And there are not many legal ways to do this. Therefore, think about whether you need this at all before you take real action.
Profile Search
When registering an account, each user receives a serial number - it is unique and even after deleting the profile it is not assigned to anyone else. In VK, searching for people by ID is organized in two ways: through a social network search and the browser address bar.
To find a user (including your page) using the capabilities of a social network, you will need:
- Find the search box on the top panel (with a magnifying glass icon).
- Enter the text id******* in the field, replacing the asterisks with the user number (so you will first need to find out the user ID).
A preview of the account will appear in the drop-down window - first name, last name and avatar photo. To open the page completely, click on the preview. Since “In Contact” you can find a person by ID address only if the profile has not been deleted, sometimes the search result is empty.
Also, knowing the individual number, you can immediately open the page in a browser window; for this you will need:
- Open browser.
- In the address bar, type https://vk.com/id********, using the individual user number instead of asterisks.
If finding a user is not a problem, then calculating the location, knowing the individual number, is not so simple.
Please note that if you don’t know a person’s page number and you need to find their profile, you can try searching by photo. It’s at least exciting, and if you’re lucky, it’s also useful.
How to log into your VKontakte page with one id
Occasionally, situations arise when a user, for a number of reasons (due to hacking, page blocking), cannot access his personal page on a public network. However, this is not yet a reason for frustration: you can restore access to an individual page using your personal ID.

- – VKontakte registration.
Instructions

After which you will be asked to enter your page number, which you would like to remember in advance, and fill out a special form, indicating your phone number, email address and a number of other data. If the profile that opens in the next window is yours, go to it. 3. If there are no problems with the site, but you do not want to use a login and password to log into your account, it will be enough to indicate your identification number - ID. In your browser, in the address bar, enter the following combination https://vk.com/id and add your number to it without a space. You should get the address: https://vk.com/idХХХХХХ, where ХХХХХХ is your ID. Now you can safely go to your page and continue communicating with friends. 4. Knowing the third-party ID, you can also visit the accounts of third-party people. The method of action is the same as when logging into your VKontakte page.

The number located after the letters id will be the desired identification number.

Determining location by IP address
It is worth immediately noting that the described method works extremely rarely, and the sites that are used are of a dubious nature.
If you need a quick way to find a person by ID address in VK (location), then use the IP address for this. IP is also a unique number, but not on a social network, but on the Internet.
The social network carefully hides the data of its users, this is part of its security policy, so you have to use a trick to calculate the IP address:
- You can use an online sniffer, for example, iplogger. You will need to generate a link on the service website, and then convince the desired user to follow this link. After the transition, the site will determine the IP address.
- Another option is to transfer the correspondence to mail.ru - in addition to the text of the letter, the mail will also provide the IP address.
That is, before you can calculate a person’s location, you will need to determine the IP address using your VKontakte ID, and this is a difficult task, especially for an outsider.
To determine the necessary information by IP, specialized services are used, for example, whois. The site will show the city, perhaps an approximate address, but you should not trust this information too much. The address is rarely reliable, and when using VPNs and anonymizers, the real IP is replaced with an IP registered in another city/country.
Indirect location methods
- Open photos in your profile (https://vkontakte.ru/photos.php? >). Often, geotags are loaded along with photographs, from which you can determine not only the city, but also the coordinates.
- Another option is how to search in VK using >https://vkontakte.ru/groups.php? >). As a rule, people subscribe to city public pages like “Overheard”, “Flea Market” or “Glorious City of Kitezh”.
- A list of friends often helps (https://vk.com/friends.php? >) - joint photos in friends’ accounts and comments on posts can tell a person’s location.
Obviously, the question of how to find a page in VK by ID is easy to solve, but searching for a location is a difficult task and without a guaranteed result. But if the situation is force majeure - you need to find a fraudster or a missing person - then it is better to contact law enforcement agencies, they have more tools at their disposal.
How to find a person on VK by ID from a phone
If you need to find a person on VKontakte by ID address from a smartphone, try using methods with a direct link and a search query through a mobile browser. To find out the profile of the user you are interested in through the official phone application:
- Click the magnifying glass icon in the bottom line of the client and go to search.
- Tap on the “People” tab.

Calculate a person's IP address by VKontakte ID
Hello! Today we will talk about what worries the minds of millions of VKontakte users, namely how to figure out a person by VKontakte ID, how to figure out VKontakte by IP, how to find out the location of a person sitting on VKontakte, etc. I will say right away that you will not receive an answer to many of the questions presented, because it is simply impossible to do so! So, take a pen and write it down.
1. How to calculate a person by VKontakte ID? How to find out the VKontakte ID if you know the user’s IP? How to find out the IP address of VK?
And a bunch of questions about IP addresses and the social network VK.COM.
If you are not a system administrator, do not work for the FSB or in “department K,” then access to the internal component of the social network is closed to you. In general, access to such information is provided to third-party services only upon request or by court order.
Write in tech. support is also pointless, since they do not disclose confidential and personal data.
This is the official version, and now let’s talk about how to really find out the ID and IP of a VK person.
You need to create a page on the Internet, preferably a site that will be interesting to 95% of users, for example, with a selection of funny videos. The site can be a simple one-page site. Then you need to add the ONLINE SNIFFER (traffic analyzer) code to the page code. There are free and paid options. As soon as the user follows your link and spends at least 5-10 seconds on the site, the sniffer will determine his IP and record it in the database. In this simple way you can collect all the IP addresses of the people you need. The main pitfall is the link that requires the user to go to a site with a sniffer installed.
HOW SNIFFER WORKS:
Second option
— installation of special
js code
. I will not advertise the service (Google social phishing, social traffic, etc.), I will only say that it is used by a huge number of online stores to analyze traffic. The VKontakte API has long been available for sites and all user cookies are available, so by loading a hidden iframe and if at the time of viewing the site you are authorized on the VK.COM website, the admin gets access to your personal data, namely, sees the address of your VKontakte profile.
Those. The script determines social profiles. networks of visitors to your site, and then if you are the owner of an online store, let’s say - you can write to him - “You visited my online store at 14-00 and looked at 3 Chinese figurines, but did not buy anything, maybe you will be interested in a discount?” etc. The user simply does not understand how they were reached and, strangely enough, many are led in and make a purchase. Active sales :). For us, who are pursuing the goal of determining the ID, these services will be very useful.
HOW SOCIAL WORKS PHISHING:
Those. it all comes down to luring the user to the site and reading his information there. Unfortunately, there are no other options.
2. How to calculate the IP of a VKontakte user by his ID?
The question is, to say the least, stupid. ID is just a page identifier, roughly speaking its NUMBER AND IT IS NOT IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE USER'S IP ADDRESS. NO WAY. It is NOT POSSIBLE to find out the IP of VK by id.
3. How to find a person on VKontakte if you know his ID?
Everything is simple here. ID is a number consisting of numbers. Open any VKontakte page in your browser and see what it looks like - https://vk.com/id390567.
Now you just need to change the number after vk.com/id to yours, which you know, and you will be taken to the profile you need on the social network.
In this post I discussed the most popular questions; if you forgot something, ask in the comments and I will answer. I remind you once again, do not fall for “fraudulent” programs or sites that promise you to identify a person on VKontakte down to the City, Street and Apartment - this is a SCAM and you will simply lose access to your account, and in the worst case, a hacker will gain access to all passwords and data from your browser and computer.
How to find out your VKontakte ID
ID is a unique identifier that is associated with an account when a person decides to register it. Let's look at methods to find out its meaning.
If the ID has not changed
The easiest way to find out the ID of your own or someone else’s account is if the owner has not changed the link. To see the number, you just need to log into Contact, open the page and look at the number after “ID” in the search bar of the browser.
The above method does not require any additional effort, but is only suitable when the ID has not been changed. What to do otherwise, we will consider further.
If changed to an alphabetic nickname
It may also happen that the change from a numeric value to an alphabetic one has already occurred, and you need to find out the original ID.
Instructions for searching for a number will look like this:
- Open your account, click on the avatar icon in the upper right corner and go to “Settings”.
- Select the “General” section and go down to the end of the window, where the ID number will be displayed in the “Page Address” field. The system allows you to return it instead of a literal value. To do this, you need to replace your nickname with “id123”, where 123 are the numbers specifically for your account number. You won't be able to link someone else's ID. Any letter in the ID turns the number into a nickname.
- Save the changes (if they have been made). This method will always work (of course, if the user has access).
The question arises: how to find a numeric ID if it has been changed to an alphabetic one, but the page is someone else’s and there is no password for the account? In this case, just open any photo and click on the link - in the displayed text, the set of numbers up to the underscore will represent the page ID. Having such a link, you can always find out whose account was opened.
But what to do if the user does not have photos? All is not lost - you just need to go to one of the available sections, for example, videos or music. In the address bar, after the words “videos” or “audios”, the numeric ID of the open page will be displayed. The same can be done with posts on the wall or with personal messages - when an entry is open or in a dialogue, you need to click on the search bar and copy the ID from it.
As you can see, everything is as simple as possible. The above options can be applied not only to your own page, but also to the accounts of other users.
Web site
The full version of the VK website allows you to search for users using various methods described by us in a separate article. In addition, information about a person can be found by his ID number.
This instruction will allow you to find out information about the owner of the page, based on the data specified by the VKontakte user - no more, no less. It is impossible to calculate any more personal information through the resource in question.
Method 1: Direct transition
As you may know, the ID is an integral part of the direct link to the user's page. Thanks to this, you can instantly navigate to the desired profile by adding the necessary characters to the address bar.
Note: Many pages may be hidden from the eyes of unauthorized users.
- Open any page of the VKontakte website and remove all content from the address bar, leaving only the domain name.
After the separator, add your existing user ID, presumably looking like this.
In some cases, instead of a standard ID, you may have a person's login, consisting of a unique set of characters. It can also be inserted after the domain name, but it is impossible to guarantee a successful transition to the right person’s page.
After pressing the "Enter" key, you will be redirected to the user page, which provides basic information about him.
Use the Show Details link to expand additional data blocks.
The method can be completed at this point, since the user information has been successfully found.
Method 2: Database
Each VKontakte ID is a unique number that cannot be reused even if the page is deleted. In this case, each of the numbers is automatically recorded in the site’s database, which you can access via a special link.
- After clicking on the link we provided, check the first three digits in your ID. For example, in the case of the number “id203966592” you need to click on the link “203 000 001 - 204 000 000”.
In the next step, make a similar comparison with the next three numbers in the ID number. For “id203966592” we click on the link “203 960 001 - 203 970 000”.
Again, select a value based on the last three numbers in the identifier. For example, in the case of “id203966592”, select the line “203 966 501 - 203 966 600”.
To complete the user calculation process, on the last page presented, find an exact match for the ID. The names of all owners of specific IDs are immediately displayed.
To simplify the search, press the “Ctrl+F” key combination on your keyboard and paste the identifier into the field that appears. At the same time, do not forget to divide it into groups of three numbers.
- After clicking on the found link, as in the previous method, you will be presented with basic information about the user.
We hope the methods discussed above helped you identify the people you need using your existing ID numbers.
How to find a person by ID in VK
It’s easy to find a person on VKontakte by ID from a computer, even if the user’s first and last name are unknown. Method 2.
- Via direct link. Go to your browser, place the cursor in the address bar and write https://vk.com/. After the slash, add the id prefix and a combination of numbers corresponding to the unique page number. Press Enter. The address will lead directly to the profile of the desired person;
- Through search engines. Open any one, write idXXXXXX in the request form. Replace X with the appropriate numbers. Run a search and view the results. VK pages are usually displayed in the first lines of search results.
If you don’t want to go to the user’s page, but you need to know the person’s first and last name, go from your computer to your wall. Place the cursor in the text field for the new entry and start typing @idXXXXXXX. Just don't post, otherwise the person will receive a notification. When you enter the ID, the site will determine the owner of the page and display the first and last name in the drop-down list.
