About your IP address

This page shows the public IP address your connection is using right now, along with its approximate geolocation — country, city, ISP, and network (ASN). It is the address the wider internet sees for you, and it is how websites and other services know where to send data back.

Your public IP is assigned by your internet service provider and is usually shared by every device on your network through NAT, so your laptop and phone appear to the outside world as the same address. It is separate from the private address (such as 192.168.1.x) that identifies each device inside your own network.

The location shown is derived from public IP-geolocation databases and is approximate — typically accurate to the city or region, not a street address. If you connect through a VPN or proxy, the IP and location shown are those of that service, not your own connection.

Frequently asked questions

What is my IP address?

Your public IP address — shown above — is the address the internet sees when your connection reaches a server. Your ISP assigns it, and it is how return traffic finds you. It is different from your device's private address (like 192.168.x.x), which is only visible inside your own network.

What is the difference between a public and a private IP address?

A private IP such as 192.168.1.5 identifies a device inside your home or office network and is not reachable from the internet. A public IP is the single address your router presents to the outside world; the devices behind it usually share it through NAT.

Why does my IP address change?

Most ISPs hand out dynamic IPs that can change when your router reconnects or a lease expires. A static IP stays fixed but usually costs extra. If you use a VPN or proxy, the address shown here is that service's, not your ISP's.

Is the address shown IPv4 or IPv6?

It depends on how your connection reached us. If it contains colons (like 2a00:…), it is IPv6; four dotted numbers means IPv4. Many connections now have both and will use whichever the site supports.
