What Is My IP Address — Free Online Public IP Checker
Whenever you connect to the internet, your device is assigned a public IP address. This IP is your "house number" on the web — websites, servers, and online services use it to identify your geographic location and network identity. This tool helps you quickly check and display your public IP address and related network information.
Why Check Your IP Address?
Knowing your public IP is useful for: troubleshooting network issues, configuring remote access, verifying if your VPN is working, whitelisting IPs in server firewalls, checking which IP block your ISP assigned, and more. Developers and network admins often need IP info to diagnose connectivity problems.
What This Tool Shows
- Public IP Address — Your IPv4 or IPv6 public address
- ISP Provider — The internet service provider (e.g., Comcast, AT&T, Vodafone)
- ASN Number — Autonomous System Number identifying your network organization
- Geolocation — Country, region, and city information
- Timezone — Timezone based on IP registration location
- Coordinates — Approximate latitude and longitude
- One-Click Copy — Copy your IP to clipboard with a single click
How to Use
Simply open this page and your public IP will be detected and displayed automatically. No action needed — results appear instantly. Refresh the page to re-detect. Your IP address is shown in a monospace font for easy reading and copying.
Privacy Note
IP lookup requests are sent directly from your browser to the third-party API service (ipapi.co). We do not store, log, or forward your IP address. Results are displayed only in your browser. Your IP address is public information — it's naturally exposed to every server you visit online.
❓ What is a public IP address?
A public IP address is your unique identifier on the internet. When you visit websites or use online services, your device communicates through this IP address. Every device connected to the internet is assigned a public IP by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
❓ What's the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1) with about 4.3 billion possible addresses, now nearly exhausted. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (e.g., 2001:db8::1) with virtually unlimited addresses. This tool detects and displays both your IPv4 and IPv6.
❓ Does IP lookup compromise my privacy?
This tool queries your public IP through a third-party API (ipapi.co). The data only flows between your browser and the API server. We do not store or log your IP address. Your IP is public information — it's exposed to every website you visit.
❓ How accurate is the location shown?
IP geolocation is typically accurate to the city level, not your exact physical address. It shows the registered location of your ISP's IP block, which may differ from your actual location. Accuracy depends on how often IP geolocation databases are updated.
