Your public IP address

Fetching your IP and network details…

What is a public IP address?

Your public IP address is the unique identifier assigned to your internet connection by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). It is visible to every website and server you connect to.

Unlike a private/local IP (like 192.168.x.x used within your home network), your public IP is how the rest of the internet sees you. Location and ISP data come from IP geolocation databases and are approximate — typically accurate to city level, not your exact address.

This tool fetches your public IP and geolocation from ipwho.is and reads browser/network details locally. Your data is not logged or stored by this website.

What Is My Public IP Address?

Every device connected to the internet needs an address so data knows where to go. Your public IP address is assigned by your Internet Service Provider and acts as the "return address" for all traffic between your home or office network and the rest of the web. When you visit a website, send an email, or stream a video, servers see this public IP — not the private address your router assigns to individual devices like your phone or laptop.

Our free What Is My IP tool fetches your public IP address, country, city, ISP, timezone, and coordinates automatically when the page loads. It also shows your local network details where your browser allows — connection type, private IPs, and device information. Results are displayed in an easy-to-read layout with one-click copy and a refresh button. The lookup uses the ipwho.is API from your browser. Your IP is not logged or stored by this website — we simply display what the internet already sees whenever you connect.

How to Use This Tool

Open this page and your IP details appear automatically within a second or two. Review your location, ISP, timezone, and connection information in the panels below. Click Copy all details to copy a full report to your clipboard for IT support or troubleshooting. Click Refresh to re-fetch everything — useful after reconnecting your router or switching VPN servers. If the lookup fails, click Try again or check your internet connection.

Who Uses an IP Lookup Tool?

  • Home users verify their IP before configuring port forwarding, game servers, or smart home devices.
  • Remote workers confirm their IP changed after connecting to a corporate VPN.
  • IT support staff ask customers to report their public IP for troubleshooting network issues.
  • Developers test IP-based geolocation, rate limiting, and access control in their applications.
  • Security-conscious users check whether a VPN or proxy is masking their real IP address.
  • Server administrators whitelist or document IP addresses for firewall and API access rules.

Dynamic vs. Static IPs

  • Dynamic IP: Changes periodically, usually when your router reconnects or your ISP rotates addresses. Most residential internet plans use dynamic IPs.
  • Static IP: Stays the same over time — typically used by businesses, web servers, and premium internet plans that charge extra for a fixed address.
  • Private IP: Addresses like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x used only within your local network. These are not visible to the outside internet.

Tips for IP Address Privacy

Your public IP can reveal your approximate geographic location and ISP, though it does not expose your exact street address. Use a reputable VPN if you want websites to see a different IP. After connecting to a VPN, return to this page and click Refresh — if the IP and country changed, the VPN is working. Avoid sharing your IP publicly unless necessary for technical support. Be aware that some services block traffic from known VPN or datacenter IP ranges. Local/private IP detection depends on your browser — modern browsers often hide these for privacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I hide my IP address?

Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) or the Tor browser to mask your public IP. A VPN routes your traffic through a remote server, so websites see the VPN's IP instead of yours. Refresh this page after connecting to verify the change took effect.

What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

IPv4 uses dotted-decimal format (e.g. 203.0.113.1) with about 4.3 billion addresses — a pool that is largely exhausted. IPv6 uses a longer hexadecimal format with a vastly larger address space. This tool shows whichever protocol your connection uses (IPv4 or IPv6).

Why is my IP different on my phone vs my computer?

If both devices use the same Wi-Fi network, they share the same public IP. Differences usually mean one device is on mobile data while the other is on Wi-Fi, or one is using a VPN and the other is not.

Can someone find my home address from my IP?

An IP reveals approximate location — typically city and ISP — but not your exact home address. Law enforcement can request subscriber information from ISPs with proper legal authority, but casual users cannot pinpoint your street from an IP alone.

Why did my IP address change?

Most home connections use dynamic IPs that change when you restart your router, when your ISP rotates addresses, or after a prolonged disconnection. Static IP plans keep the same address unless you change providers.

Is my IP logged by this website?

This tool fetches your IP and geolocation from ipwho.is to display it to you. We do not store or log your IP address on our servers. The ipwho.is service sees your IP as part of the lookup request, as any IP-checking service would.
