About My IP Address

What Is My IP Address shows the public IP address your device is using right now, along with the approximate city, region, country, coordinates and internet service provider linked to it. The details appear as soon as the page loads, with nothing to install.

What is my IP address

Every device that connects to the internet uses an IP address. Your public IP is the one websites see. It usually belongs to your router or mobile network, not to your individual phone or computer.

What the tool shows

  • IP address: your current public IPv4 or IPv6 address.
  • Location: the city, region, country, country code and approximate latitude and longitude associated with the address. This is an estimate and often points to your provider's network rather than your exact location.
  • ISP: the company that owns the address block, such as your broadband or mobile provider.

When you might need your IP address

People check their IP address to whitelist access to a server or admin panel, to confirm that a VPN or proxy is working, to troubleshoot network problems with support teams, or to set up remote access and port forwarding. If your address changes every time you reconnect, your provider is assigning it dynamically, which is normal for most home connections.

Keeping your IP address private

Your IP address alone does not reveal your name or street address, but it can be used to estimate your general area and to link your activity across websites. A trusted VPN hides your IP address from the sites you visit, and using HTTPS websites protects the content of what you send.

IPv4 and IPv6

You may see one of two formats. IPv4 addresses look like four numbers separated by dots, such as 203.0.113.25. IPv6 addresses are longer and use letters and colons, such as 2001:db8::1. IPv6 was introduced because the world ran short of IPv4 addresses. Many networks now support both, and which one you see depends on your provider and the website you connect to. Both work the same way for everyday browsing.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the location look wrong?

IP location databases map addresses to the provider's network, not to homes, so the city shown can be tens of kilometres away from where you are.

Why is my IP different on Wi-Fi and mobile data?

Each network has its own public addresses. Switching networks changes the IP address that websites see.

Is it safe to share my IP address?

Sharing it with support teams or trusted services is generally fine. Avoid posting it publicly.
