Everything your IP reveals about this connection
Every site you visit can see these details. Below is exactly what your address tells the web — detected live, in your browser, and never stored by us.
Where is this IP located?
The map shows the approximate geographic position reported for your address — usually your city or your ISP's nearest routing hub.
IP geolocation is approximate and can be off by a few kilometres — it never reveals your exact street address. Need more detail? Locate your IP on a full map.

Together with your IP address, this is the picture a typical website gets about every visitor.

What is my IP address?
Your public IP address is the large number at the top of this page — it is detected automatically the moment the page loads. It's the address your ISP assigns to your connection and the one every website sees when you visit it. If your network supports both protocol versions, the badges under the address show your IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity separately.
What is the difference between a public and a private IP address?
A private IP (like 192.168.1.42) identifies your laptop or phone inside your own Wi-Fi network and is meaningless on the internet. A public IP identifies your whole network to the rest of the internet and is assigned by your ISP. This page always shows your public address; to find a device's private one, see how to find your IP address.
Why does my IP location show the wrong city?
IP geolocation relies on public databases that map address ranges to places, and they're updated by ISPs — not always promptly or precisely. The reported city is often where your ISP's routing equipment sits rather than where you are. City-level accuracy is typical; anything more precise is not possible from an IP alone.
Can I hide or change my IP address?
Yes — a VPN, web proxy or the Tor network swaps the address websites see for a different one. Keep in mind that traffic from these services is often identifiable, and many sites treat it differently. You can test any address with our Proxy & VPN Check.
What's the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses (e.g. 203.0.113.7) are 32-bit — about 4.3 billion combinations — and the world has effectively run out. IPv6 (e.g. 2606:4700::1111) is 128-bit with a practically unlimited space. Most modern connections have both at once; our IPv4 vs IPv6 guide explains the details.
Is my IP address blacklisted?
Run our free IP Blacklist Check: it queries major spam and abuse DNSBLs live from your browser and reports every hit, plus what to do about it.
How often does my IP address change?
Most home connections use dynamic addresses that change whenever the router reconnects or its DHCP lease expires — often every few hours or days. Business lines and paid upgrades can be static, meaning the address stays the same indefinitely.
Do you store my IP address or track me?
This site is fully static: there is no backend database and nothing is stored on our side. The lookups you see are performed by your own browser calling independent public APIs (ipwho.is, ipify, proxycheck.io, Google DNS) — those providers handle the requests under their own privacy policies.
