What is my IP address?

Just open the page: your public IP address is detected automatically from your request and displayed prominently at the top of the tool. You don't need to enter anything or create an account. Click the copy icon to copy the address to your clipboard.

Not your public one. Addresses like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x are private addresses assigned by your router within your home network. This tool shows the public IP address websites and servers see for your connection. With IPv4, all devices behind the same router generally share that public address. You can find a device's private address in its network settings, for example with the ipconfig command on Windows.

Yes. If the IPv6 card shows an actual address, your connection supports IPv6. If it says IPv6 isn't available on your network, you either don't have IPv6 or a very strict ad or privacy blocker or firewall prevented the check. In that case, the result isn't entirely reliable.

With CGNAT (Carrier-Grade NAT), internet providers let multiple customers share a public IPv4 address because IPv4 addresses are scarce. With DS-Lite, used by many cable and fiber connections, your connection gets its own IPv6 address but shares an IPv4 address with other customers. That's why the IP shown here may differ from the one your router displays.

A PTR record (Pointer Record) works in reverse to a normal DNS record: instead of resolving a domain name to an IP address, it resolves an IP address to a hostname. The tool looks it up automatically for your IP. Many home or dynamic IP addresses have no such record. If so, the tool reports that no PTR record was found. That's completely normal.

Only the country is shown, roughly estimated from your IP address through our Content Delivery Network, not GPS. The tool doesn't show a city or provider. If you use a VPN or proxy, you'll see that service's location, not your actual one. If no country can be determined, such as with Tor, it won't be shown.

Usually not. Most home and mobile connections get a dynamic IP address from the provider, so it can change—for example, when your router reconnects. You can often change it by reconnecting, switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data, or using a VPN. Whether this works depends on your provider. Reload this page afterward to check your current address.

Every website and server you connect to can see your IP address. That alone generally doesn't allow direct access to your device; an open, exploitable vulnerability would also be needed. But your IP address can be used for targeted DDoS attacks, so it makes sense to use a server with proper DDoS protection.
