What Is My IP Address?
This what is my IP address tool shows your public IP the moment the page loads, so you can see exactly how the internet identifies your connection. Your IP (Internet Protocol) address is the unique number your network uses to send and receive data — a digital home address for your device.
Alongside your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, you get the location, ISP, and network details tied to that IP, plotted on an interactive map. It is built for anyone who needs their public IP fast: remote workers setting up access, developers testing geolocation, VPN users confirming their connection, and support teams gathering connection details.
How to Use the IP Address Checker
Open the page
Your IP information loads automatically. Your IPv4 address appears at the top, and your IPv6 address shows below it if your network has one.
Check your location and network
See your country, city, region, timezone, coordinates, ISP, and organization in the Location & Network Information card, with an interactive map of the approximate spot.
Copy what you need
Click an IP to copy it, hover any field for its copy button, or use Copy All to grab every detail as formatted text in one click.
Refresh after a change
Switched networks or toggled a VPN? Press Refresh and the IP, location, and map update with the new connection details.
Features
IPv4 and IPv6 Detection
Shows both versions of your public IP when available, automatically fetching the complementary address your network supports.
Detailed Geolocation
Country with flag, city, region, timezone, coordinates, and postal code where the geolocation service provides it.
Interactive Map
A Leaflet map with OpenStreetMap tiles pinpoints your approximate location, with a popup link to open it in Google Maps.
ISP and Network Info
Identifies your internet service provider and the organization that owns the IP range behind your connection.
One-Click Copy
Copy any IP or field on its own, or use Copy All to export every detail as clean, formatted text.
Live Refresh
Re-run the lookup after changing networks or a VPN to instantly see your new IP, location, and map.

Quick tabs explain what an IP address is and how IPv4, IPv6, and VPNs work, right beside your results.
Open Data Sources
A Data Sources panel credits every provider used for your IP, map tiles, and geolocation, with links to each one.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is my IP address?
Your IP address is the public number your network uses to send and receive data on the internet. This tool detects it automatically and displays it at the top of the page, along with the location and ISP linked to it.
Is this my public or private IP?
This shows your public IP — the address the internet and the websites you visit can see. A private IP (like 192.168.x.x) is the internal address your router assigns inside your home network and is not visible from the outside.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 is the original format — four numbers separated by dots (like 192.168.1.1) with about 4.3 billion possible addresses. IPv6 is the newer format with effectively unlimited addresses, created to solve IPv4 exhaustion. You may have one or both depending on your ISP and network.
Why don't I see an IPv6 address?
Not every network supports IPv6 yet. You won't see one if your ISP hasn't deployed IPv6, your router has it disabled, or you're on an IPv4-only connection. This is normal — IPv4 still works perfectly fine.
Why is my IP location not accurate?
IP geolocation is based on your ISP's registered records, not GPS, so it is usually accurate to the city or region — not your exact street. Mobile networks, shared IP pools, and routing through distant servers can shift the result. The tool shows a notice reminding you the location is approximate.
Does a VPN hide my IP address?
Yes. With a VPN active, this tool shows the VPN server's IP and location instead of your real ones — which makes it a quick way to confirm your VPN is connected. If you see your actual location when you expect the VPN's, the VPN may not be working.
Why does my IP address change?
Most home connections use a dynamic IP that changes periodically or when you restart your router. Some ISPs offer a static IP that never changes, usually for business accounts. Mobile IPs often change each time you reconnect or move between towers.
Can someone find my exact address from my IP?
No. An IP only reveals approximate location at the city or region level, drawn from public ISP registration records — not your street address or any private data. It is still worth protecting your IP from misuse, which is one reason people use a VPN.
