The basics

What is an IP address?

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is the number that identifies a device or network on the internet, so that data knows where to go. Every request you make, such as opening this page, carries your public IP address so the reply can find its way back.

Your internet provider assigns the public address to your router or phone. At home, every device behind the router usually shares that one public address, while each has its own private address on the local network.

IPv4 vs IPv6

There are two versions in use today. Many networks run both, and your device picks one per connection.

AddressesAbout 4.3 billionAbout 3.4 × 1038
SharingCommonly shared through NATEnough for every device to have its own

Public vs private addresses

Private ranges such as 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16 and IPv6 fc00::/7 are only used inside local networks. You will find them in your device's network settings, but websites never see them. The address on this page is your public one.

Why the location is approximate

IP geolocation estimates where a network is, based on how address blocks are registered and routed. It does not use GPS and cannot point to a street address. The country is usually right; the city may be a nearby hub, and mobile networks often show the location of the carrier's gateway. Each lookup combines several independent data sources, and fields none of them can answer are left empty rather than guessed.

VPNs, proxies and Tor

A VPN, proxy or Tor relays your traffic through another server. Websites then see that server's IP address and location, not yours. If the address above isn't the one you expected, check whether a VPN, a browser privacy feature or a company proxy is active.

FAQ

Questions about your IP address

What is my IP address?

It is the public address shown at the top of this page: the address websites and services see when your device connects to them. Your internet provider assigns it, and all devices on your home or office network usually share it.

Is my public IP the same as my local IP?

No. Inside your network, devices use private addresses such as 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x or 172.16.x.x to 172.31.x.x (and fc00::/7 for IPv6). Your router translates them to the public address shown here. Private addresses are not reachable from the internet and have no location.

Why is the location shown not where I am?

IP location is approximate. It comes from where a network is registered and routed, not from GPS. Country is usually right; the city can be a nearby hub or your provider's regional gateway, especially on mobile networks. With a VPN or proxy you will see the location of its server.

Does my IP address change?

Often, yes. Most home and mobile connections get dynamic addresses that can change when the router or phone reconnects. Some providers offer a static address, usually for business plans.

Can someone find my home address from my IP?

Not from public data. IP geolocation usually narrows an address down to a city or region at best. Only your internet provider can link an IP address to a subscriber.

Why do I see an IPv6 address instead of IPv4?

Your network and browser support IPv6, so the connection to this site was made over IPv6. Many connections have both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address; the one shown is the one used for this request.

How do I hide or change my IP address?

A VPN, proxy or Tor sends your traffic through another server, so sites see that server's address instead of yours. Restarting your router may also get you a new address from your provider.
