What is My IP Address?
Check your public IP address, location, and network information.
About IP Addresses
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to devices connected to a computer network. Your public IP address is the address that the internet sees when you connect to websites and services.
Why Check Your IP Address?
- Verify your VPN connection is working correctly
- Check if your IP address has changed
- Diagnose network connectivity issues
- Ensure your privacy settings are effective
Privacy Considerations
Your IP address can reveal your approximate location and internet service provider.
While this tool provides this information for diagnostic purposes, it's important to be aware that:
- Websites can track your IP address
- Your IP address can be used for geolocation
- Some ISPs may log your IP address activity
Consider using a VPN if you want to protect your privacy and hide your real IP address.
How it Works
This tool uses a combination of browser APIs and server-side detection to determine your public IP address and associated information. When you visit this page, your browser makes a request to our server, which then identifies your IP address and retrieves additional information about your network connection.
The tool also checks for IPv6 support and provides information about your network type (mobile, broadband, etc.) when available.
Technical Details
- Uses the [ipify API](https://www.ipify.org/) for IP address detection
- Implements browser's Geolocation API for location data
- Checks for IPv6 support using dual-stack DNS queries
- Detects VPN and proxy usage through various HTTP headers
- All data is processed client-side for privacy
