- Click Copy to put the exact address on your clipboard for a firewall rule, support ticket, or remote access setup.
- Read the details below for location, ISP, timezone, and IP version.
FAQ
What is my IP address?
Your IP address is the numeric identifier assigned to your connection on the internet. The public IP shown at the top of this page is what websites and servers see when you browse — not your private LAN address like 192.168.x.x.
What is the difference between public and private IP?
A public IP is routable on the internet and shared by your router for all devices on your home network. A private IP (such as 192.168.1.5) exists only inside your LAN. This page shows your public address.
Does a VPN change my IP?
Yes. If you use a VPN, proxy, or corporate gateway, this page shows the exit IP of that service — not your home ISP line. Turn the VPN off and refresh to compare.
Is IPv4 or IPv6 shown?
The primary result reflects how your browser reached this page — IPv4 (for example 203.0.113.42) or IPv6 (for example 2001:db8::1) depending on your network and ISP.
How is this different from IP Address Lookup?
This page detects your own IP automatically on load. IP Address Lookup is built for analyzing any address you paste in — for example IPs from server logs, email headers, or other users.
Is my IP sent anywhere else?
Your IP is already visible to every website you visit. This page uses it to look up location and ISP metadata via a server-side geo query — the same class of lookup many sites perform on every request.
Introduction
What Is My IP shows the public IP address your internet connection uses right now, front and center, with a one-click copy button. Below it, a details panel adds location, ISP, timezone, and IP version so you have the full picture without opening a terminal or router admin page.
Your public IP is one of the most-requested pieces of information in support and IT: it is what servers log when you visit them, what firewalls whitelist for remote access, and what changes when you connect through a VPN. Finding yours should not require searching router settings — this page surfaces it instantly.
What is an IP address?
An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a numeric label assigned to every device that communicates on a network. On the public internet, your router receives one public IP from your ISP; every device behind it shares that address through NAT (Network Address Translation).
| Type | Example | Who sees it |
|---|---|---|
| Public IPv4 | 203.0.113.42 |
Any server on the internet |
| Public IPv6 | 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334 |
Any server on the internet (when IPv6 is enabled) |
| Private IPv4 | 192.168.1.5 |
Only devices on your local network |
This tool focuses on your public address — the one that identifies your connection to the outside world.
Common use cases
- Firewall whitelisting — copy your public IP so a server or SaaS product can allow your connection.
- Support tickets — paste your IP when an ISP, bank, or app asks for it to troubleshoot access issues.
- VPN verification — confirm your VPN exit IP matches the country or provider you selected.
- Remote access setup — check whether your IP is static or changes after a router reboot (try Refresh tomorrow).
Best practices
- Copy the full address rather than retyping it — one wrong digit breaks firewall rules and lookups.
- Remember your public IP can change on residential connections unless you pay for a static IP from your ISP.
- If you use a VPN, the IP here reflects the VPN tunnel, not your home line — use what is my public IP to compare HTTP and WebRTC detection.
- To analyze any IP that is not your own, use IP address lookup; for LAN addresses, see what is my local IP.
