What Is My IP Address?
Detecting…
Instantly see your public IP address with IP version, approximate location, timezone, ISP, and ASN. Look up another IPv4 or IPv6 address with shareable URLs.
What is my IP address?
Your public IP address is the network address your internet provider assigns to your connection. Websites and online services see this address when you browse the web. It helps route traffic back to you, similar to a mailing address for data packets.
IPv4 vs IPv6 explained
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses such as 192.0.2.1 and is still the most common format on the public internet. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses such as 2001:db8::1 to support many more devices. Your connection may use either version depending on your network and provider.
How accurate is IP geolocation?
IP geolocation estimates location from routing and registry data, not GPS. It is usually accurate at the country or city level, but it can be wrong when you use VPNs, mobile carriers, or corporate networks. Treat the location as approximate context, not proof of where someone is standing.
What do ISP and ASN mean?
ISP stands for Internet Service Provider—the company that connects you to the internet. ASN (Autonomous System Number) identifies the network operator responsible for a block of IP addresses. ASN data helps explain which organization owns or announces the route for an IP address.
Privacy and limitations
This tool shows metadata that is already associated with a public IP address. It does not access private device information, exact home addresses, or account details. Results may differ from other lookup sites because providers update their databases on different schedules.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is my IP address?
Your IP address is the public identifier assigned to your internet connection. This page detects it automatically when you open the tool, so you can copy it for troubleshooting, remote access setup, or network checks.
Why does my IP location look wrong?
IP geolocation is approximate. VPNs, mobile networks, satellite links, and corporate routing can make the city or region differ from your physical location. The country is usually more reliable than city-level results.
Can I look up someone else's IP address?
Yes. Enter any public IPv4 or IPv6 address in the manual lookup field. The page updates the URL with an ip query parameter so you can share or bookmark the result.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses are shorter dotted numbers like 203.0.113.10. IPv6 addresses are longer hexadecimal strings like 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334. IPv6 expands the number of available addresses as more devices connect to the internet.
Does this tool store my IP address?
The lookup runs when you load or submit the page so you can see current results. It is designed as a lightweight utility without account history or saved lookup dashboards.
