About What Is My IP Address
This page shows the public IP address your device uses on the internet the moment it opens, both IPv4 and IPv6, so you can see whether your connection already uses the newer protocol.
Next to the address you get your internet provider, its network number and the approximate area you appear to be in, which is exactly what every website you visit sees about your connection.
Use it to confirm that a VPN or proxy is really on, to give an address to a support team or a firewall allow-list, or to find out why a site shows you the wrong country.
Key Features
- IPv4 and IPv6 side by side: both addresses are shown separately, with a clear note when your connection has no IPv6.
- Provider and network: the name of the company that carries your traffic and its autonomous system number.
- Approximate location: country, region, city and time zone as the internet sees them, with the local time there.
- One-click copy: copy either address straight into a ticket, a config file or a chat.
- Browser details: the browser string your device sends with every request.
- Nothing to type: the result is there when the page opens; check again after switching network or VPN.
How to Use
- Open the page: your addresses and connection details appear within a second.
- Read both addresses: IPv4 is what most services see; IPv6 shows only when your network supports it.
- Check the provider and location: if a VPN is on, they should show the VPN, not your home provider.
- Copy what you need: use the copy button next to either address.
- Check again: after changing network, VPN server or router, press Check again to see the new address.
Common Use Cases
- VPN check: confirm the address and country changed after connecting, and that nothing shows your real provider.
- Remote access: add your current address to a server firewall, database allow-list or admin panel.
- Support calls: give your provider or IT team the exact address and network they ask for.
- Wrong country on websites: see which location sites read from your address before contacting them.
- IPv6 readiness: find out whether your provider and router already give you IPv6.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a public IP address?
It is the address the rest of the internet sees for your connection. Devices at home or in an office usually share one public address through the router, while each device has its own private address inside the network.
Why do I have two addresses?
IPv4 and IPv6 are two versions of the internet protocol. Many providers give you both, and a website uses whichever one both sides support. If only IPv4 shows, your provider or router does not offer IPv6 yet.
How accurate is the location?
It is usually right about the country and often about the region, but the city can be off by a long way, because it shows where your provider routes traffic rather than where you are.
Does my IP address change?
Most home connections get a new address from time to time, after a router restart or when the provider reassigns it. Mobile connections change it often. A fixed address is usually a paid business option.
Can a website see my IP address?
Yes. Every site and service you connect to sees this address, the provider name and the rough location. A VPN replaces them with the VPN server's.
Is my address stored when I use this page?
No. It is shown to you and not kept.
Pro Tips
- Check after connecting a VPN: the provider line should name the VPN service, not your home provider.
- Look for IPv6 leaks: if a VPN shows a new IPv4 but your real IPv6 still appears, your traffic is not fully covered.
- Allow-list ranges with care: home addresses change, so prefer a VPN or a fixed address for long-term access rules.
- Mobile data differs from Wi-Fi: switching network gives you a different address and often a different provider.
- Look up someone else's address: use the IP lookup tool for an address that is not yours.
