What is my IP address?
The public address websites see when you connect, whether it is IPv4 or IPv6, roughly where it is and who provides it. Leave the page open and it tells you when the address changes.
Your address appears here when the page loads.
Connection details
Location, time zone and provider appear once your address is read.
Changes this visit
No change yet. Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, or turn a VPN on or off, and the old and new address are listed here. The list is kept in this tab only and is gone when you leave.
What is a public IP address?
The address your internet provider gives your connection. Every website you open sees it, because it is where the reply has to be sent. It is different from the private address your router gives each device at home, such as 192.168.1.5, which never leaves your network.
IPv4 or IPv6?
- IPv4
- Four numbers separated by dots, such as 203.0.113.42. There are about 4.3 billion of them, so providers often share one between many customers.
- IPv6
- Eight groups of hexadecimal digits separated by colons, such as 2001:db8::8a2e:370:7334. There are enough for every device to have its own.
Many connections have both. This page shows the one your browser used to reach it, so you see either an IPv4 or an IPv6 address, not the pair.
How accurate is the location?
Approximate. It comes from records of where a provider uses a block of addresses, so it usually names the right country and often the right city, but it can point to your provider’s nearest exchange instead of your town. It never identifies a street or a house.
Why did my address change?
Most home and mobile connections get a new address from time to time, and always when you move between Wi-Fi and mobile data. A VPN or proxy replaces it with the address of its own server, which is why the location changes with it.
Is my address stored?
No. Your browser asks this site which address the request came from, and the answer is shown here and nowhere else. It is not saved or logged by this tool, the list of changes lives only in this tab, and this page loads no ads. Like every website, the request passes through our hosting provider’s network (Cloudflare) to reach us.
