What This IP Checker Shows
The tool focuses on the public IP information a website can usually see when your browser connects to the internet.
IPv4 and IPv6
The checker attempts both IPv4 and IPv6 detection, so visitors can see whether their current internet connection supports one address type or both.
ISP Details
ISP and organization data can help identify whether your visible connection belongs to your internet provider, a VPN service, a proxy, or a hosting network.
Approximate Location
IP location is estimated from network databases and may point to a nearby city, region, or provider location instead of your exact physical location.
Public IP Address Lookup Guide
A public IP address is the address that websites, apps, game servers, email services, and online tools can see when you connect to them. If you search for "what is my IP address," this page shows the public address currently visible from your browser.
IPv4 addresses use a familiar numeric format such as 192.0.2.1. IPv6 addresses are longer and use hexadecimal groups, which allows the internet to support far more connected devices. Some networks support only IPv4, some support IPv6, and many support both.
Your public IP can change when your internet provider assigns a new address, when you restart a router, when you move from Wi-Fi to mobile data, or when you use a VPN or proxy. If the detected location looks different from your city, that can be normal because IP location is approximate.
What Is My IP Address FAQ
What is my public IP address?
It is the address your network uses on the public internet. Websites can usually see this address when your browser connects to them.
Why do I see an IPv4 address but not IPv6?
Your internet provider, router, VPN, or current network may not support IPv6, or IPv6 traffic may be disabled on your connection.
Can this tool detect a VPN?
It can show the public IP and organization currently visible. If that organization belongs to a VPN or hosting provider, your connection may be routed through that service.
Is my private IP address the same?
No. A private IP is used inside your local network, while a public IP is the address seen by websites and internet services.
Why is my IP location wrong?
IP location databases are approximate. They can show your provider location, routing area, VPN endpoint, or nearby city instead of your exact location.
Does refreshing change my IP?
Usually no. The refresh button checks again, but your IP changes only if your network, provider, router, VPN, or mobile connection changes.
