Here's your public IP address

This is the address your connection is using on the internet right now, along with a best-effort estimate of its location and ISP. No login, nothing to install — the page simply reflects the connection you arrived on.

How This IP Lookup Works

1

Your public address

Your device’s public IP is the address servers use to send responses back to your connection — the return address on every request your browser makes.

2

Location is an approximation

Geolocation comes from IP-to-region databases, often resolving to your ISP or nearest city — not GPS. It is a rough estimate, never your exact address.

3

One connection, one family

This page reflects the single connection you arrived on — one address family, IPv4 or IPv6, whichever your browser used to reach us.

Frequently asked questions

What is my IP address?
Your IP address is the public address your internet connection is using right now — the one this page detected and shows above. It is the address that websites and servers see when your device talks to them, and it is assigned to you by your internet service provider.
What is an IP address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a numeric label that identifies a device or connection on a network so that data can be routed to and from it. Every request your browser makes carries your public IP as the return address, which is how responses find their way back to you.
Is my IP address public or private?
The address shown here is your public IP — the one visible on the open internet, shared by everything behind your router. Private IP addresses (like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) are used only inside your home or office network and are not visible to outside websites. This tool can only see your public address.
Does my IP address reveal my exact location?
No. IP geolocation is an approximation, accurate to roughly the city or region at best, and it frequently points to your ISP’s location rather than yours. It is derived from IP-to-region databases, not GPS, so it does not reveal your street address or precise position. Treat any location shown as a rough estimate.
How do I hide or change my IP address?
A VPN or proxy routes your traffic through another server, so sites see that server’s IP instead of yours. If your ISP assigns your address dynamically, restarting your router can sometimes get you a new one. Note that hiding your IP changes what sites see, but it is not by itself complete anonymity.
What's the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses (like 203.0.113.7) are the older, shorter format and the world has effectively run out of them. IPv6 addresses (like 2001:db8::1) are much longer and vastly more numerous, created to solve that shortage. A single connection reaches a server over one family or the other — this page reports whichever your browser actually used.
