This page shows your public IP address: the address websites and online services see when you connect. Alongside it you'll find the IP version, an approximate location, the network your address belongs to, and the browser details your device sends with every request.

What is an IP address?

An IP address identifies a connection on the internet so data can be routed back to it. Your router or mobile carrier holds a public address; the devices behind it use private addresses such as 192.168.1.20 and share the public one through NAT. That is why every device on your home Wi-Fi shows the same IP on this page.

Understanding your results

  • IP address and version: IPv4 looks like 203.0.113.7; IPv6 looks like 2001:db8::7. If your network supports IPv6, you'll usually see an IPv6 address, because browsers prefer it when both are available.
  • Location: estimated from a database of address ranges, not from GPS. The country is usually right; the city is often where your ISP's equipment is.
  • ISP: the organisation the address range is registered to, taken from the regional internet registry's records. On a VPN this is the VPN provider; on a corporate network, the company or its provider.
  • Browser, operating system, user agent and language: what your browser tells every website it visits.

How to find your private (local) IP address

  • Windows: run ipconfig and look for "IPv4 Address".
  • macOS: run ipconfig getifaddr en0 (Wi-Fi on most Macs), or open System Settings › Network.
  • Linux: run ip addr or hostname -I.
  • Phones: it's listed in the Wi-Fi network's details.

Common questions about your IP

  • The location is wrong. IP geolocation is approximate and often points to your ISP's regional hub. VPNs, mobile data and some corporate networks place you at their exit point, which can be in another city or country.
  • My IP keeps changing. Most home and mobile connections get a dynamic address that can change when the router restarts or the lease expires. A fixed (static) IP is usually a paid ISP option.
  • Is my IP on a blocklist? If mail or websites block you, check it with the IP Blacklist Check. Shared and carrier-grade NAT addresses are sometimes listed because of other users.

Frequently asked questions

Can someone find my home address from my IP address?

Not from the IP alone. Public geolocation data narrows an address to a region or city. Only your ISP can link an IP to a customer account, and it normally discloses that only under legal process.

How do I hide or change my IP address?

A VPN or proxy makes sites see the provider's IP instead of yours, and Tor routes traffic through several relays. Restarting your router may give you a new address if your ISP assigns them dynamically.

Why do I see an IPv6 address instead of IPv4?

Your network and this site both support IPv6, and browsers prefer IPv6 when it works. Your connection probably has an IPv4 address too; you'd see it on a site that only supports IPv4.

How do I look up a different IP address?

Use the IP address lookup for location and ISP, the reverse DNS lookup for its hostname, or a WHOIS lookup for the organisation that holds the address range.
