What Is My IP

The page shows the public IP address your connection uses, whether it is IPv4 or IPv6, the network it belongs to (usually your internet or mobile provider) and its country, the address block and the reverse DNS name, with a button to copy the address. The network details come from the regional registry that assigned the address, not from a guessing location database. Below are this device's browser, system, time zone, language and screen, and a box to look up any other IP address.

How it works

What Is My IP is a web page. Your address is read by our server only to show it to you; it is not stored. There is no account and no sign-up; to keep it quick for everyone, each connection has an hourly limit, well above normal use.

What your IP address is

Every device that talks to the internet is reached through an IP address. The one shown here is your public address: the one websites, games and email servers see when you connect. At home it usually belongs to your router, shared by every device on your Wi-Fi, and on a phone it belongs to your mobile network, often shared with many other customers at once. Inside your home each device also has a private address, such as 192.168.1.20, which is never seen from outside.

IPv4 and IPv6

IPv4 addresses look like 203.0.113.42; there are only about four billion of them, so they are shared and rationed. IPv6 addresses look like 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334 and are plentiful, so each device can have its own. Most connections now have both. This page shows the one your connection used to reach us; if it is IPv6, your device usually has an IPv4 address as well, used for sites that do not support IPv6.

What an IP address does and does not reveal

An address shows which network you are on, usually your internet or mobile provider, and roughly which region or country that network serves. It does not show your name, your street address or your exact location; only your provider can connect an address to a customer, and it releases that only under legal process. The network details here come from the regional internet registry that assigned the address block, not from a location database, so they name the network owner rather than guess a city.

Why it changes

Most home and mobile providers hand out addresses dynamically, so yours can change when your router restarts, when you move between Wi-Fi and mobile data, or every so often for no visible reason. A VPN replaces the address websites see with one of the VPN's own; check this page with the VPN on to confirm it is working.

• Network owner and its country, from the registry
• Reverse DNS name and address block
• Browser, system, time zone, language and screen
• Look up any other IP address
• No location guessing, no tracking

Questions

What is my IP address?

It is shown at the top of this page: the public address websites see when you connect, usually your router's or your mobile network's.

Why is my IP address different on my phone and my computer?

On Wi-Fi they share your router's address; on mobile data your phone uses your mobile network's address, which is different.

Can someone find my home from my IP address?

Not from the address alone. It shows your provider and roughly its region. Only your provider can link the address to a customer, and it does so only under legal process.

Why does my IP address keep changing?

Most providers assign addresses dynamically, so a router restart or a switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data can bring a new one.

How do I check that my VPN is working?

Open this page with the VPN on. The address and network owner should be the VPN's, not your own provider's.

Is my IP address stored?

No. Our server reads it from your connection to show it to you and keeps nothing. Visit counting uses a code that changes daily and cannot be turned back into your address.
