What Is My IP Address?
Your public IP address is how the internet reaches your network. Here's yours right now, along with a few details your browser reveals to every site you visit.
What is an IP address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique number that identifies your device or network on the internet, so websites and services know where to send data back. Your public IP is assigned by your internet provider and is what other sites see. It can reveal your rough location (city/region) and your ISP, but not your name or exact address.
IPv4 vs IPv6
IPv4 addresses look like 203.0.113.42. Because the world ran out of them, IPv6 was introduced — longer addresses like 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334. Many networks now have both. We show whichever your connection exposes.
Your privacy
Your IP is fetched from a public lookup service and shown only to you — we don't log or store it. The browser and device details below are read locally and never leave your device.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to show my IP address?
Seeing your own IP is harmless — every website you visit already receives it. We don't store or share it. Avoid posting it publicly, since it can hint at your general location and ISP.
Why is my IP different from someone else's on the same Wi-Fi?
Usually it isn't — devices on the same network typically share one public IP. Differences appear with mobile data, VPNs, or IPv6.
How do I hide my IP address?
Use a reputable VPN or the Tor browser, which route your traffic through another server so sites see that server's IP instead of yours.
