Tips

What Is an IP Address?

An IP address is a unique number assigned to every device connected to the internet. It works like a mailing address, allowing data to find its way to the right destination. The IP shown here is your public IP — the address websites see when you connect.

IPv4 vs IPv6

IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (like 192.168.1.1) and supports about 4.3 billion unique addresses. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (like 2001:db8::1) and supports a virtually unlimited number. Your connection may use one or both protocols.

Dynamic vs Static IP

Most home connections use dynamic IPs that change periodically when your router reconnects. Businesses and servers typically use static IPs that remain constant. This is why your IP may differ from what you saw last week.

VPN Changes Your Visible IP

When you use a VPN, websites see the VPN server's IP instead of your actual IP. This tool shows the IP that reaches our server — so if your VPN is active, you'll see the VPN's IP here. This is a quick way to verify your VPN is working.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

What is an IP address?

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to the internet. It serves two purposes: identifying the device and providing its network location. The address shown on this page is your public IP — the one visible to websites and online services.

What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses written as four numbers separated by dots (e.g., 192.168.1.1), supporting about 4.3 billion unique addresses. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses written in hexadecimal groups separated by colons (e.g., 2001:db8::1), supporting a virtually unlimited number. IPv6 was created because the world ran out of IPv4 addresses.

Why does my IP address change?

Most internet providers assign dynamic IP addresses that change periodically — typically when your router restarts or your ISP refreshes its address pool. If you need a fixed address, you can request a static IP from your provider, usually for an additional fee.

Does this tool store my IP address?

No. Your IP is read from the connection to display it on screen, but it is not logged, stored, or tracked. Location data is fetched from a third-party geolocation service directly by your browser. You can verify this by checking your browser's network tab.

Why does the location shown not match my actual location?

Geolocation based on IP addresses is approximate. It typically identifies the city or region where your internet provider's infrastructure is located, not your exact physical address. Using a VPN, proxy, or mobile network can also show a completely different location.

Is the IP shown here really my IP?

It is the public IP address that reaches our server. If you are behind a router (which most people are), this is your router's external IP, not your device's local IP. If you are using a VPN or proxy, the VPN/proxy server's IP is shown instead.
