What is the What Is My IP?

Your IP address is how the internet finds its way back to you — and every site you visit sees it. Knowing yours is the first step in setting up remote access, troubleshooting a connection, confirming a VPN is working, or allow-listing yourself on a service.

This what-is-my-IP tool shows your public address instantly, along with the browser details a website can see about you.

Tips

  • Your public IP differs from your device's local (private) IP like 192.168.x.x.
  • Turn a VPN on and refresh to confirm your IP changed.
  • IPv4 and IPv6 addresses can both apply — you may have either.
  • Home IPs are often dynamic and can change over time.
  • IP maps only to a general area, not a precise address.
  • Avoid posting your IP publicly where it isn't needed.
  • For allow-listing, ask whether the service needs IPv4 or IPv6.
  • Re-check after reconnecting or switching networks.

Common mistakes to avoid

Confusing public and local IP

Fix: This shows your public IP; 192.168.x.x and 10.x.x.x are private local addresses.

Assuming your IP is fixed

Fix: Most home IPs are dynamic and change; re-check when needed.

Expecting exact location

Fix: IP geolocation is approximate — it maps to a region, not a street address.

Sharing your IP carelessly

Fix: Only share it with services that need it, and prefer secure channels.
