What's My IP?
Address, Location & ISP Details
--
Privacy Check
Ensure your VPN or proxy is active by verifying your apparent location and IP address match your intended server.
Network Audit
Quickly identify if you are using IPv4 or IPv6 and confirm your ISP (Internet Service Provider) details.
Geo-Location
See how websites perceive your physical location down to the city level, which impacts localized content.
Dev Tools
Easily find your outbound IP address to whitelist it in server firewalls, API access lists, or database security groups.
Understanding Your IP Address
Your IP (Internet Protocol) address is your digital footprint. Every device connected to the internet requires one to communicate; it is the fundamental mechanism that allows data to be routed back and forth between your device and the websites you use.
The address shown above is your Public IP—assigned to your modem by your ISP. Internally, your router uses private addresses (like 192.168.1.x) which are not visible to the internet.
Key Takeaways
- Public ID: Identifies your network on the web, but not your exact physical street address.
- IPv4 vs IPv6: Support for the massive IPv6 standard is growing as the older 32-bit IPv4 pool is exhausted.
- Dynamic IPs: Most residential connections rotate IP addresses periodically unless a "Static IP" is purchased.
