What is an IP address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique identifier assigned to every device connected to the Internet. It allows servers to know where to send the data you request. There are two types: IPv4 (e.g., 192.168.1.1) and IPv6 (e.g., 2001:0db8::1).
Public vs Private IP
Your public IP is the one visible to websites you visit. It's your router's address on the Internet. Your private IP is used within your local network (192.168.x.x). Our tool displays your public IP.
Why know your IP?
Knowing your public IP is useful for configuring a VPN, remote access, troubleshooting connection issues, or verifying your VPN is working. Our tool also detects your approximate geolocation and Internet Service Provider.
Your privacy
This tool works entirely in your browser. No data is stored on our servers. Use a secure password and a VPN to protect your online privacy.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find my public IP address?
Simply visit this page. Your public IP address is automatically detected and displayed along with your geolocation, ISP and timezone. No signup or software needed.
What does my IP address tell about me?
Your public IP reveals your approximate location (city and region), your Internet Service Provider, and your timezone. It does not reveal your exact street address or identity.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 uses a 4-number format (e.g., 192.168.1.1) while IPv6 uses a longer hexadecimal format (e.g., 2001:0db8::1). IPv6 provides a vastly larger address space to accommodate all connected devices.
How accurate is IP geolocation?
IP-based location is typically accurate to the city level (5-50 km). Accuracy depends on your ISP and whether you use a VPN or proxy, which can shift the detected location.
Does my IP reveal my exact location?
No, your public IP gives an approximate location only. For precise coordinates, a website would need explicit GPS permission from your device.
Can I hide or change my IP address?
Yes, using a VPN or proxy replaces your visible IP with the server's address. This is commonly used for privacy or to access region-restricted content.
