What Is My IP

About this tool

Shows the public IP address your device is browsing from right now, plus an approximate location and network provider — the same information any website you visit can see. Nothing here is stored: each lookup runs live and this site keeps no log of your IP or location.

The IP is read directly from the network request that reaches our server, not looked up through a third-party IP database. Location and ISP fields are approximate, based on where your internet provider's network connects, not your exact address.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the location look like the wrong city?

IP-based location is approximate — it reflects where your internet provider or VPN exit point connects to the network, which is often a regional hub rather than your literal street address. Mobile connections and VPNs are frequently off by many miles.

Is my IP address logged anywhere?

No — this tool reads your IP from the live request only to show it back to you, and doesn't write it to any log or database.

Why is my IP different from what my router shows?

Your router usually shows a private, local network address (like 192.168.x.x). The address shown here is your public IP — the one the rest of the internet sees, typically assigned by your ISP and often shared with other devices on your network via NAT.

Why does an IPv6 address show up instead of IPv4?

If your network and browser both support IPv6, a connection may prefer it over IPv4 automatically — both are valid public addresses, just from different addressing systems.
