Detecting…
Details
- All local IPv4
- None (browser may use mDNS privacy mode)
- mDNS hostnames
- None
Local IP is read via WebRTC ICE host candidates in your browser. VPNs do not always hide it.
How to use
- Open the page — WebRTC scans for your LAN IPv4 address automatically.
- If Chrome hides the raw IP, an mDNS .local hostname may appear instead — that still confirms a local interface was detected.
- Click Copy to save the address for printer setup, media server config, or a privacy audit.
FAQ
What is my local IP address?
Your local IP is the private address assigned to your device on your home or office network — typically 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, or 172.16–31.x.x. It is not reachable directly from the public internet.
What is the difference between local and public IP?
Your local IP identifies your device inside the LAN (for example 192.168.1.42). Your public IP identifies your entire network to the internet (for example 203.0.113.42). This page shows the local one.
Why does Chrome show a .local name instead of an IP?
Modern Chromium browsers replace raw local IPs with mDNS hostnames (for example abc123.local) for privacy. That still confirms WebRTC can see a local network interface — the IP is hidden, not absent.
Does a VPN hide my local IP?
Not always. VPNs protect your public IP but WebRTC host candidates may still reveal your LAN address to websites. This is a known privacy consideration, not a VPN failure for public traffic.
How is local IP detected?
This page uses WebRTC ICE host candidates — the same mechanism browsers use for peer-to-peer connections. No router admin access or command-line tools are needed.
Is my local IP sent to a server?
The WebRTC scan runs entirely in your browser. The local address is displayed on your screen but is not uploaded to our servers — though any website running a similar WebRTC probe could gather the same data.
Introduction
What Is My Local IP reveals the private IPv4 address your device uses on the local network, detected via WebRTC ICE host candidates. The result appears front and center with a one-click copy button, plus a breakdown of all local addresses and any mDNS hostnames your browser reports instead of raw IPs.
Local IP is what you need for printer sharing, NAS access, game LAN parties, and smart-home setup — but it is also what some websites can infer through WebRTC even when your public IP is hidden behind a VPN. Surfacing yours should not require opening router settings or running ipconfig — this page shows it instantly.
What is a local IP?
A local (private) IP address is assigned by your router's DHCP server to devices on your LAN. These addresses are defined in RFC 1918 and are not routed on the public internet:
| Range | Common use |
|---|---|
10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255 |
Large corporate networks |
172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255 |
Enterprise and some routers |
192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255 |
Most home Wi‑Fi routers |
Your router holds one public IP facing the internet and assigns local IPs to every phone, laptop, and smart device behind it.
Common use cases
- Home network setup — find your PC's LAN address for file sharing, SSH, or a local dev server.
- Printer and NAS configuration — confirm which address to enter in a device's network settings.
- Privacy audit — check whether WebRTC exposes your LAN address while on a VPN.
- Support — tell a technician your local IP when troubleshooting router or DHCP issues.
Best practices
- Your local IP can change when DHCP leases renew — re-check after router reboots or long offline periods.
- If you see a .local hostname instead of digits, your browser is in mDNS privacy mode — the local interface is still visible to WebRTC probes.
- A VPN hides your public IP but may not hide your local IP — run the WebRTC leak test for a full picture.
- For the address the internet sees, see what is my public IP; for IPv6 on your LAN path, try what is my IPv6.
