How to use What Is My IP Address?

  1. 1Open the page — your public IP address appears at the top within a moment.
  2. 2Click Copy to copy the IP address, for example to whitelist it or share it with support.
  3. 3Check the details below — approximate location, ISP, ASN, time zone and connection protocol.
  4. 4Connect to a VPN or another network and reload to see how your public IP changes.

Find your public IP address

Your IP address is the number that identifies your internet connection to every website and online service you use. This page shows your public IP address instantly, along with what it reveals: an approximate location, your internet service provider (ISP) or organisation, the network's autonomous system number (ASN), and the time zone associated with it. It also shows details about your connection, such as HTTP and TLS versions, and your browser's user agent.

The information comes directly from the connection your browser makes to our server — no third-party lookup service is involved, and nothing is logged.

Why you might need your IP address

Remote access and allow-lists. Many services — databases, admin panels, SSH servers, office VPNs, cloud firewalls — only accept connections from approved IP addresses. Copy your IP here and add it to the list.

Troubleshooting. Support teams for internet providers, game servers and websites often ask for your IP to look up connection problems or blocks.

Checking a VPN or proxy. After connecting to a VPN, reload this page. If the IP and location have changed to the VPN server's, your traffic is being routed correctly.

Hosting and gaming. Running a game server, camera or home server sometimes requires your public IP (or a dynamic DNS service if it changes).

IPv4 vs. IPv6

IPv4 addresses look like 203.0.113.42 — four numbers from 0 to 255. There are only about 4.3 billion of them, so providers share them between customers using techniques like carrier-grade NAT.

IPv6 addresses look like 2001:db8::1 and offer an almost unlimited number of addresses. Most modern networks support both; your browser picks one automatically.

Public IP vs. private IP

Inside your home or office, your router gives each device a private IP address such as 192.168.0.x, 10.x.x.x or 172.16–31.x.x. These addresses aren't visible on the internet. When your devices go online, the router translates them to the single public IP shown here. That's why every device on your Wi-Fi shows the same public IP.

What your IP reveals — and what it doesn't

An IP address reveals your provider and an approximate region, which is how websites show local content or currency. It does not reveal your name, exact address or browsing history. Law enforcement can request subscriber details from providers through legal processes, but ordinary websites cannot.

Frequently asked questions

What is a public IP address?
It is the address your internet connection uses on the internet. Every website you visit sees it. It is usually assigned by your internet provider to your router, so all devices on the same home or office network share one public IP address. Your device also has a private IP (such as 192.168.1.20) that is only used inside your local network.
How accurate is the location?
IP location is approximate. It is based on where your provider has registered or routes that IP address, and is usually correct for the country, often for the region, and only sometimes for the city. It never shows your street address. With mobile data or a VPN, the location can be hundreds of kilometres away.
Why do I see an IPv6 address?
If your provider and device support IPv6, browsers prefer it. IPv6 addresses are longer (for example 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334). Many networks have both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address; this tool shows the one your browser used to connect.
Do you store my IP address?
This lookup is answered by our own server from the connection details it already receives; we don't store or log it, and no third-party IP database is queried. Like any website, our hosting provider may process IP addresses briefly for security.
How can I hide or change my IP address?
A VPN or proxy routes your traffic through another server, so websites see that server's IP instead. Restarting your router sometimes gives you a new IP from your provider, and switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data changes it too.
Why does the IP time zone differ from my browser's?
The IP time zone is guessed from the network location, while the browser time zone comes from your device settings. A mismatch is common with VPNs, corporate networks and travel.
