IPv4 and IPv6 together
Most connections now have both kinds of address. Therefore the tool tests each one separately and tells you plainly when one is missing.

What Is My IP Address?Your Public IPv4, IPv6, Location and ISP
If you are asking what is my IP, the answer is below. This page shows the public IP address that websites see, in both IPv4 and IPv6. It also shows your approximate location, your internet provider and your browser details, and it checks whether a VPN appears to be active.

The VPN check appears here once your location has loaded.
Location and network
Based on your IP address, so it is approximate- Internet provider–
- Network number–
- City–
- Region–
- Country–
- IP time zone–
- Local time there–
- Coordinates–Open on a map
Your browser and device
- Browser–
- Operating system–
- Screen–
- Language–
- Device time zone–
- Connection–
How it works: your browser asks two public lookup services, ipify and GeoJS, which reply with the address they see. The result is shown only on your screen, and this tool does not save it.

Why This IP Checker Is Better
Many IP pages show a single number between adverts for a VPN. This one gives you the full picture and nothing to buy.
Location and provider
See the city, region, country and time zone linked to your address, along with your internet provider and its network number.
A quick VPN check
The page compares the time zone of your IP with the clock on your device. If they differ, a VPN or proxy is probably active.
Browser and device details
Support teams often ask for your browser, system and screen size. In addition to your IP, those details are ready to copy in one tap.
One-tap copy
Copy the IPv4 address, the IPv6 address or a tidy summary of everything. Then paste it into a ticket, a chat or a firewall rule.
Clean and private
There are no pop-ups and no sales pitch. Meanwhile, the page explains exactly which services it contacts and why.
Step by step
How to Find Your IP Address
Your public address appears as soon as this page loads. Finding the private address of a single device takes one more step.
Read your public IP
Look at the dark panel at the top. The large number is your public IPv4 address, and your IPv6 address is below it.
Copy or share it
Press Copy IPv4 or Copy IPv6. To send everything to a support agent, use Copy all details instead.
Check again after a change
Switch on a VPN, change Wi-Fi or restart your router, then press Check again. As a result, you can see whether your address changed.
Find your private IP
On Windows, run
ipconfig. On a Mac, open System Settings, then Network. On a phone, open the Wi-Fi settings and tap the connected network.
Reference
IPv4, IPv6 and Private Addresses Explained
An IP address is the number that lets other computers send data back to you. There are two versions in use, and some ranges never leave your home network.
| Feature | IPv4 | IPv6 |
|---|---|---|
| Example | 203.0.113.7 | 2001:db8::7 |
| Size | 32 bits | 128 bits |
| Written as | Four numbers with dots | Eight groups with colons |
| Addresses | About 4.3 billion | About 340 undecillion |
| Status | Running out, still most common | Growing every year |
| Range | What it is for |
|---|---|
10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 | Private networks, often offices |
172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 | Private networks |
192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 | Private networks, most home routers |
100.64.0.0 to 100.127.255.255 | Shared by providers for many customers |
127.0.0.1 | Your own device, known as localhost |
An address in a private range is only visible inside your own network. Websites see the public address of your router instead, which is the one shown at the top of this page. To plan ranges for a network, try the subnet calculator.

What Your IP Address Reveals
Your IP address says less about you than many people fear. However, it is still worth knowing what others can and cannot see.
| Detail | Visible from your IP? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Country | Yes | Almost always correct |
| City or region | Roughly | Often the nearest large town or your provider's hub |
| Internet provider | Yes | The company that owns the address block |
| Street address | No | Only your provider can link an address to a home |
| Your name | No | Not available without a legal request to the provider |
| Browsing history | No | An IP address alone does not show what you visit |
Benefits
Why People Check Their IP Address
Knowing your IP address is useful whenever you set up, secure or repair a connection.
Confirm a VPN is working
Check your address before and after you connect. If the number and the country change, your VPN is doing its job.
Help a support agent
Technical support often asks for your IP, browser and system. Therefore the Copy all details button gathers them in one message.
Allow your address on a server
Firewalls, databases and admin panels can be limited to trusted addresses. Copy your IP here and add it to the allow list.
Host a game or camera
Remote access and game servers need your public address. In addition, a strong login from the password generator keeps them safe.
See whether your IP changed
Most home connections use a dynamic address that changes now and then. Check again after a router restart to find out.
Fix location problems
If a website shows the wrong country or language, your IP location may be the cause. This page shows what websites believe.
FAQ
IP Address Questions and Answers
What is my IP address?
Your IP address is the number your internet provider gives your connection so that websites know where to send data. The public address shown at the top of this page is the one the internet sees. Every device on the same Wi-Fi shares it.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses are 32 bits long and look like four numbers separated by dots. IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long and use letters, numbers and colons. IPv6 exists because the world ran short of IPv4 addresses, and many connections now use both.
Why is my IP location wrong?
IP location comes from databases that map address blocks to places, and they are only approximate. The result often points to your provider's nearest hub instead of your town. A VPN, a proxy or mobile data can move it even further away.
Can someone find my home address from my IP?
No. An IP address shows a rough area and your internet provider, but not your street or your name. Only the provider can link an address to a customer, and it normally does so only after a legal request.
How do I hide or change my IP address?
A VPN is the most common way, because websites then see the address of the VPN server. A proxy or the Tor browser works in a similar way. To simply get a new address, restart your router or switch to mobile data.
Why does my IP address keep changing?
Most providers hand out dynamic addresses from a shared pool, so yours can change after a router restart or after a few days. Businesses that need a fixed address can usually pay for a static one.
What is the difference between a public and a private IP?
A public IP identifies your whole connection on the internet. A private IP, such as 192.168.1.5, identifies one device inside your home or office network. Your router translates between the two.
Does this page store my IP address?
The tool does not save your result. Your browser asks the public services ipify and GeoJS for your address, and the answer is displayed only on your screen. Like every website, those services and this server see your IP while they respond.
