About this tool

This tool looks up your public IP address, an approximate location for that address, your internet provider, and a few browser and device details — all in a single page load, with no account or install required.

Every value here comes from a live lookup made by your own browser when the page loads. If a lookup fails or a field isn't supported by your browser, that field shows a clear fallback message instead of a blank space or a fabricated value.

Key features

• Large, prominent display of your current public IP address, with one-click copy
• Separate IPv4 and IPv6 readings, so you can see whether your connection actually has IPv6 or is falling back to IPv4
• Approximate location: city, region, country (with flag), postal code, latitude/longitude, and timezone
• ISP/organization name and ASN
• Browser, operating system, screen resolution, language, platform, and raw user agent string, all read directly from your browser — no lookup required
• One-click refresh to re-run the lookup, useful right after connecting to a VPN or switching networks

Why use it

• Confirm your public-facing IP address before configuring port forwarding, remote access, or an allowlist
• Check whether a VPN or proxy is actually changing your visible IP and location
• See whether your connection supports IPv6 or is IPv4-only
• Quickly check what a website can infer about your rough location and ISP just from your connection

What is an IP address?

An IP address is the numeric label assigned to your device (or more precisely, to your connection) so other computers on the internet know where to send data back to. Every request your browser makes carries this address, which is how a server knows where to route its response.

Public vs private IP

Your private IP address (often something like 192.168.x.x) only exists inside your home or office network and is invisible to the rest of the internet. Your public IP address — the one this tool shows — is the address your router or ISP presents to the outside world, shared by every device behind it unless you're using IPv6 with globally routable addresses per device.

IPv4 vs IPv6

IPv4 addresses (like 203.0.113.42) are the older, more limited format, and most home connections still run on IPv4 today, often shared across many customers via network address translation. IPv6 addresses (like 2001:db8::1) are far more numerous and are gradually being rolled out by ISPs; many connections don't have a working IPv6 route yet, which is why the IPv6 field on this page will often show "not available."

How accurate is IP-based location?

Be skeptical of the location shown here as anything more than a rough estimate — IP geolocation databases map address ranges to a likely city or region based on ISP registration records, not GPS. It's frequently accurate to the city or metro area, but can be off by a significant distance, especially on mobile data connections, satellite internet, corporate networks, or any connection routed through a VPN, which will show the VPN server's location rather than yours.

Privacy considerations

Every site you visit can see your public IP address the moment you connect — that's simply how the internet's addressing works, and this tool doesn't reveal anything a normal web request wouldn't already expose. This page itself is static and has no backend server: the lookup happens as a direct request from your browser to a public IP-information service, and this site doesn't log, store, or forward the result anywhere. If you want to change what's visible, a reputable VPN will present its own IP and location instead of yours.

Tips

• If you're troubleshooting port forwarding or remote access, use the IPv4 address here — that's almost always the one relevant to router configuration
• Run Refresh right after connecting or disconnecting a VPN to confirm it actually changed your visible IP
• Don't rely on the location fields for anything requiring precision — they're a rough estimate, not a GPS fix
