What is my IP address?
What is my IP address? Check your public IPv4 and IPv6, approximate IP location and ISP. Understand private IPs, VPN addresses and missing IPv6 results.
See your public IP address, including IPv4 and IPv6 when detected, together with your approximate IP location and internet provider. The connection details below describe the address visible to online services.
What is my public IP address?
Your public IP address is the address an internet service sees when your connection reaches it. It may belong to your router, mobile carrier, VPN or proxy. Refresh the connection details after changing networks or connecting to a VPN; different destinations may see different addresses when traffic uses split tunneling.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses use dotted numbers, such as 192.0.2.10. IPv6 addresses use hexadecimal groups, such as 2001:db8::10. These are documentation examples, not your detected addresses. A connection may support one or both versions. The page displays each address separately when its detection request succeeds.
Why is my private IP different from my public IP?
Your device settings may show a private address such as 192.168.1.10 or 10.0.0.10. Routers commonly translate private IPv4 addresses to a public address using NAT. A mobile provider may also share a public IPv4 address between customers using carrier-grade NAT. IPv6 can assign a globally routed address directly to a device, so the relationship is different.
Can an IP address show my exact location?
IP geolocation estimates a location from network allocation and provider data. It can identify a provider gateway, VPN exit or a nearby city rather than your device. It is not GPS and does not reliably identify your street address. ISP and location information can be unavailable or outdated.
Why is my IPv6 address not detected?
The IPv6 detection request may fail because IPv6 is unavailable on the current path, a VPN or browser extension blocks it, or the detection service is temporarily unavailable. “Not detected” is an inconclusive observation, not proof that your device or internet provider cannot support IPv6. Testing a website’s IPv6 readiness is a separate check.
Does a VPN change my IP address?
Websites usually see the VPN exit address when their traffic passes through the VPN. A proxy or split-tunnel configuration can produce different results for different destinations. This page reports successful connection observations; it is not a comprehensive VPN, DNS or WebRTC leak test.
How do I find my local IP address?
On Windows, open a terminal and run ipconfig. On macOS, check System Settings → Network → your active connection → Details → TCP/IP. On Linux, run ip address. On Android or iPhone, open the connected Wi-Fi network’s details. Labels vary by operating-system version. Local interface addresses can differ from the public addresses shown here.
How are my connection details detected?
Your browser requests public address information from this website and IPv4/IPv6 detection services. The initial HTML contains explanatory content, never a visitor’s detected IP address. Requests necessarily expose the connecting address to the service receiving them. Read the Privacy Policy for the services used and data handling.
