What Is My IP Address?

Your public IP address is the one websites see when you connect. Below are your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, the network they belong to, and a check for VPN leaks. You can look up any other IP address too.

From the regional internet registry’s public RDAP record. The owner is usually your internet provider, a mobile network, a VPN, or a hosting company, not you personally.

Your IPv4 and IPv6

IPv4

IPv6

Checking… Not available on this connection

Many connections have only IPv4. Having both is normal: websites use IPv6 when they can.

VPN leak test (WebRTC)

Video-call technology in your browser can reveal your real address even when a VPN is on. Turn on your VPN, then run the test: if it finds a public address that isn’t the one above, your VPN leaks.

Your browser has WebRTC turned off, so it can’t leak your address this way.

Want to see your browser and device too? Try the User-Agent Parser. Checking a website instead? Use the DNS Lookup to find its IP address.

About the What Is My IP

Every device online reaches websites through a public IP address, given by your internet provider, mobile network or VPN. This page shows the address websites see, both IPv4 and IPv6, the network that owns it from the registry’s public record, and a WebRTC test that finds addresses a VPN may leak. Type any address to look it up.

How to use it

  1. 1 Open the page: your public IP address is at the top, with its version and country.
  2. 2 Check the network details to see which provider or VPN owns the address.
  3. 3 With a VPN on, press Run leak test to see whether your real address slips through.
  4. 4 To check another address, type it into “Look up another IP address”.

Frequently asked questions

What is an IP address?

A number that identifies a connection on the internet, so data knows where to go. IPv4 addresses look like 203.0.113.7; the newer IPv6 ones look like 2001:db8::1. Websites see the public address of your router or mobile network, not your device’s private address.

Can someone find my home from my IP address?

No. An IP address points to your internet provider and roughly the city or region its network serves, often a different town. Only your provider can link an address to a customer, and it releases that only to the police with legal orders.

Why does my IP address change?

Most home and mobile connections get a dynamic address that changes when the router restarts or after some time. A fixed (static) address usually costs extra and is mostly used for servers and offices.

Why is the country or provider wrong?

Location comes from where the address block is registered and routed. VPNs, mobile networks and company networks often route through another city or country, and an address can be resold to another provider before records catch up.

What is a WebRTC leak?

WebRTC lets browsers make video calls directly, and to do that it asks a server which address you appear from. Some VPNs don’t cover that request, so a page could see your real address. If the leak test shows an address other than your VPN’s, turn on WebRTC protection in your VPN or browser.

What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

IPv4 has about 4.3 billion addresses, which ran out years ago, so providers now share them. IPv6 has enough for every device to have its own. Many connections have both, and browsers use IPv6 when a website supports it.

Is a private IP like 192.168.1.10 my real address?

No. Addresses starting with 192.168, 10, or 172.16 to 172.31 are private: your router gives them to devices at home, and they’re never seen on the internet. Websites see your router’s public address instead.
