What Is My IP Address

What is my IP address? This page answers that the moment it loads, showing the public IP address that websites see when you connect. It checks IPv4 and IPv6 separately, then shows your internet provider or network owner, its AS number, the approximate city and country, and the reverse DNS hostname. For VPN users there is a WebRTC leak test and a flag when the address belongs to a hosting network, which is what a VPN usually looks like. You can also look up any other IP address. People use it after switching on a VPN, when a support team asks for their IP, or when adding an address to an allowlist. The page saves nothing. Network details come from RIPEstat public data, and location is approximate.

The IPv4 and IPv6 checks ask ipify, a public IP echo service, over each protocol. If IPv6 shows as missing, your network or VPN only uses IPv4.

VPN check: WebRTC leak test

WebRTC lets web pages discover your network addresses for video calls. With a VPN on, it should only reveal the VPN's address. The test asks two public STUN servers (Google and Cloudflare) which address they see.

Network owner and location come from RIPEstat public routing and geolocation data. Location is approximate: often the city of your ISP's equipment, not your home.

How to use

01

Open the page

Your public IP appears in the banner as soon as the page loads, with nothing to type. Use the Copy button next to it to paste the address into a support ticket or an allowlist.

02

Check IPv4, IPv6 and network details

The rows under the banner show your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, your provider, AS number, approximate location and hostname. If IPv6 says No IPv6 connection, your network or VPN only uses IPv4.

03

Test your VPN or look up another IP

With a VPN on, run the WebRTC leak test and check that the banner shows the VPN's address. To check any other address, type it into Look up any IP address.

Why What Is My IP Address

Public vs private IP addresses

Every device on your network has a private address that only your router knows about. When traffic leaves the network, the router swaps it for your one public address using NAT. That public address is what this page and every website sees. If your router's own WAN address falls in the 100.64 range, your provider uses carrier-grade NAT and you share a public IP with other customers.

The ranges below are reserved for private use, so seeing one of them means you are looking at a local address, not your public IP.

RangeTypeWhere you see it
10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255Private IPv4Office networks, some home routers
172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255Private IPv4Office networks, Docker
192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255Private IPv4Most home routers
100.64.0.0 to 100.127.255.255Shared (carrier-grade NAT)Mobile and some broadband providers
fc00::/7Private IPv6 (unique local)Internal IPv6 networks

How the VPN checks on this page work

A VPN should replace your home address everywhere a website can see it. This page looks at the three places where the real address most often slips through, and says plainly which ones it can and cannot test.

  • The address in the banner: with the VPN on, it should belong to the VPN provider. The network owner row and the hosting-network flag make that easy to confirm.
  • IPv4 and IPv6 separately: some VPNs only tunnel IPv4, so an IPv6 row that still shows your home provider is a leak.
  • WebRTC: the leak test shows the address your browser would reveal to a video call or any page that asks. It should match the VPN's address.
  • Timezone: sites can compare your browser's timezone with the country of your IP. A mismatch does not leak your address, but it hints that a VPN is in use.
  • DNS leaks are not tested here, because detecting them needs a DNS server that logs which resolver asked. Use your VPN provider's own leak test for that.

Common questions

What is the difference between a public and a private IP address?
Your public IP is the address the internet sees, shared by every device on your home or office network. Private IPs, such as 192.168.1.20, are handed out by your router and only work inside that network. This page shows the public one.
How do I find my IP address on Windows, Mac or my phone?
For the public IP, open this page on that device. For the private IP: on Windows run ipconfig in Command Prompt, on a Mac open System Settings then Network, on an iPhone tap the (i) next to your Wi-Fi network, and on Android open the details of the connected Wi-Fi network. Menu names vary a little by version.
Why does my IP address change?
Most home and mobile connections get a dynamic IP that the provider can reassign, for example when your router restarts or a lease runs out. Mobile networks often change it as you move. A fixed address usually has to be requested from your provider, often for a fee.
Does a VPN hide my IP address?
Yes, from the websites you visit: they see the VPN server's address instead of yours. Reload this page with the VPN on and off to confirm the banner changes, then run the WebRTC leak test. The VPN provider itself still sees your real IP. This page does not test for DNS leaks, which need a special DNS server to detect.
Can someone find my location from my IP address?
Only roughly. Geolocation databases can usually place an IP in a city or region, sometimes only the country, and it is often the location of your provider's equipment. This page shows that approximate area from public data. A street address needs the provider's records, which they do not hand out without a legal request.
Is the IP shown on this page my IPv4 or my IPv6 address?
The banner shows whichever address your browser used to reach our server, which can be either. The rows below check each protocol on its own, so you can see both. Many networks only have IPv4.
Does the What Is My IP page log or store my IP address?
The page does not save the address or the browser details it shows. Your request still passes through our hosting like any page view. The IPv4 and IPv6 checks are answered by ipify, network details come from RIPEstat, and the WebRTC test contacts Google and Cloudflare STUN servers only when you press it. Nothing is linked to an account.
Why is the IP shown here different from my router's 192.168 address?
The 192.168 address is your device's private address on the home network. Your router swaps it for the shared public address when traffic leaves the house, and that public address is what this page shows.
Why do the IPv4 row and the main IP banner show different addresses?
If your browser reached our server over IPv6, the banner shows your IPv6 address while the IPv4 row shows your IPv4 one. Some VPNs and proxies also route the two protocols differently, which is worth knowing because an IPv6 path can bypass a VPN that only covers IPv4.
What does the WebRTC leak test on this page check?
WebRTC is the browser feature behind video calls, and any web page can use it to discover your network addresses. The test asks two public STUN servers which address they see. If that address differs from the one websites see, your VPN is leaking your real IP through WebRTC, and you should turn on the VPN's WebRTC protection or limit WebRTC in your browser.
