What is My IP Address?

My IP Address is an online tool that lets you instantly discover your public IP address and all the information associated with your internet connection.

Every time you connect to the Internet, your Internet Service Provider (ISP) assigns you a unique IP address. This identifier allows websites and online services to know where to send the data you request.

With our tool you can instantly view:

  • Your public IP address (IPv4/IPv6)
  • Your approximate geolocation (country, region, city)
  • Your ISP and network information
  • Your browser and device details
  • Connection security information
  • An interactive map with your estimated location

You can also download a PDF report with all the detected information.

Why should you know your IP?

Network Configuration

Useful for configuring firewalls, port forwarding, remote access and dynamic DNS.

Privacy & Security

Check if your VPN is working correctly by masking your real IP address.

Troubleshooting

Identify connection issues and verify your ISP's network information.

Geolocation

Check which geographic location is associated with your IP address.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an IP address?

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical identifier assigned to every device connected to a computer network. It works like a digital "postal address", allowing devices to communicate with each other over the Internet. There are two main versions: IPv4 (format with 4 numbers separated by dots, e.g. 192.168.1.1) and IPv6 (longer alphanumeric format, e.g. 2001:db8::1), created to handle the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses.

What is the difference between a public and private IP?

A public IP is the address visible on the Internet, assigned by your provider (ISP) to your router. It is globally unique and allows communication with external servers. A private IP is the internal address of your local network (e.g. 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), used for communication between devices on the same network. This tool shows your public IP — the one websites see when you connect.

Can my IP address reveal my exact location?

No, your IP address does not reveal your exact location. IP-based geolocation only provides an approximate estimate, generally at the city or geographic area level. It is not possible to determine your precise physical address (street and house number) from your IP alone. Accuracy varies depending on the provider and the geolocation technology used.

How can I hide my IP address?

There are several methods to hide your IP address:

  • VPN (Virtual Private Network): encrypts your traffic and replaces your IP with the VPN server's address.
  • Proxy Server: acts as an intermediary between you and websites, masking your IP.
  • Tor Network: routes traffic through multiple nodes, making tracking very difficult.
Why does my IP address change?

Most internet providers assign dynamic IP addresses, which can change periodically (for example, after restarting your router or at regular intervals). This allows the ISP to better manage the pool of available addresses. If you need a fixed IP (for example, for a server), you can request a static IP from your provider, usually for an additional fee.

What is an ISP and how does it affect my IP?

ISP stands for Internet Service Provider — the company that provides your internet connection (e.g. Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, BT, Deutsche Telekom). Your ISP is responsible for assigning your public IP address and also determines your connection speed, the type of IP (static or dynamic), and the network policies applied to your traffic.
