What Is My IP
🔒 Your IP is read from your own request and shown back — we don't store it.

Details about your request
⚠ Reported by a proxy — not verified
These values are request headers that a client can spoof. We show them for reference only — they are not your real IP.
What this shows
This page displays the public IP address your connection is using right now, together with a couple of facts your browser already sends with every request: its User-Agent string and the languages it prefers. The address comes from the network connection itself — it is not guessed, and it is not looked up in any third-party service.
Public vs. private (local) IP
Your devices at home or in the office share one public IP — the address your internet provider hands your router, and the only one websites can see. Behind the router, each device also has a private address (typically 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x or 172.16–31.x.x) that never leaves your network. This tool reports the public one; to find a device's private address, check its own network settings.
IPv4 vs. IPv6
IPv4 addresses look like 203.0.113.7 and are running out; IPv6 addresses look like 2001:db8::1 and are effectively unlimited. Many connections now carry both, and a site may reach you over either. The badge under your address tells you which family this particular request arrived on.
Why a VPN or proxy changes it
A VPN or proxy relays your traffic through its own server, so the address shown here becomes that server's — often in a different city or country. That is the whole point of using one, and it is a quick way to confirm your VPN is actually active. Note the "reported by a proxy" box: forwarded headers can be set by anyone, so we surface them separately and never treat them as your real address.
Frequently asked questions
What is a public IP address?
It is the address your internet provider assigns to your connection — the one every website you visit sees. It is shared by every device on your home or office network (your router does the translation), which is why it differs from the 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x private address your device shows internally.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 is the classic dotted form like 203.0.113.7 and has about 4.3 billion addresses — not enough for today’s internet. IPv6 uses longer hexadecimal addresses like 2001:db8::1 for a practically unlimited pool. Many connections now have both; this tool shows whichever your request arrived on.
Why does my IP change when I use a VPN or proxy?
A VPN or proxy relays your traffic through its own server, so websites see that server’s IP instead of yours. That is exactly why the address here changes when you connect one — and why it can appear to be in another city or country.
Do you store or log my IP address?
No. The page asks our server for the address your own request already carried, shows it back to you, and stores nothing — no database, no log file. Any proxy-forwarded headers are shown separately and clearly marked as unverified, because a client can spoof them.
