What is my IP address?
The public IP address websites see when you visit them, with the location and the network it belongs to.

How it works
The address the internet sees.
Every device reaches websites through a public IP address, assigned by your internet provider or by the proxy or VPN you connect through. This page shows the one our server saw when your browser asked for it.
The location comes from an IP database, not from your device. It places the address where the network registers or routes it: usually the right country, often a nearby city, sometimes a provider hub far away.
Your device also has a local address, like 192.168.1.20, that only your router knows. Websites never see it.
- IPv4 looks like 203.0.113.42, IPv6 like 2001:db8::1. Which one shows depends on how your connection reached us.
- The hostname is the address's reverse DNS name, set by whoever runs the network.
- ASN and organisation name the network: your provider, a hosting company or a mobile carrier.
- Connect through a proxy and reload: the address, location and network change to the proxy's.
Questions
The address your traffic carries on the internet. Your provider assigns it to your router or phone, and every website you open sees it. Devices at home share it through the router, each with its own private address inside.
The country is right in most cases. The city is an estimate: IP databases place many addresses at the provider's nearest hub, and mobile carriers often route whole regions through one city. The address itself is exact.
Your provider and your browser support IPv6, and your browser used it to reach us. Many connections have both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address; a website sees whichever one your browser picks.
Restarting your router sometimes gets a new address from your provider. To choose the country or get a fresh address on demand, connect through a proxy: a residential proxy gives you the IP of a home connection, a mobile proxy one from a mobile carrier.
Not your street address. An IP points to a provider and a rough area. Only your provider knows which customer used an address at a given time.
Your browser may use IPv6 on one site and IPv4 on another, or a proxy, VPN or browser extension may handle only some of your traffic.
