What Is My IP

This page shows your public IP address as soon as it loads, marks whether it is IPv4 or IPv6 and shows your country. Click the copy icon to paste it into a support form or a setting. The lookup goes through this site’s own Cloudflare connection – your IP is not sent to any other third-party service and is not stored.

How to check your IP​

1. Open this page: your IP address and country appear at the top automatically.
2. Click the copy icon next to the IP to paste it where you need it (remote access, firewall allowlist, support ticket).
3. After switching networks or turning a VPN on or off, press "Try again" to see the new IP.

What is an IP address?​

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is your device’s “street address” on the internet – websites use it to send data back to you. There are two kinds:

• Public IP: assigned by your internet provider to your home router or mobile connection. This is what websites see, and what this page shows.
• Private (local) IP: given by your router to each device, usually 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x. It only works inside your local network and is invisible to websites.

IPv4 vs. IPv6​

A network can have both; this page shows the one your connection is actually using right now.

Why does my IP address change?​

• Dynamic IP: most home connections get an IP assigned by the provider, which can change when the router restarts or over time.
• Mobile data: on 4G/5G your IP changes when you reconnect, and many users often share one public IP.
• Switching networks: moving from home Wi-Fi to the office or a café changes your IP.
• VPN or proxy: websites then see the VPN server’s IP, and the country shown is the VPN’s location.

How to find the local IP of your computer or phone​

• Windows: open Command Prompt, type ipconfig and look at “IPv4 Address”.
• macOS: System Settings → Network → select your connection to see its IP address.
• iPhone: Settings → Wi-Fi → tap the ⓘ next to your network.
• Android: Settings → Network & internet → Wi-Fi → tap your network (menu names vary by brand).

Frequently asked questions​

What is the IP shown here?​

It is the public IP address you are using to reach the internet – the one websites and game servers see. If you use a VPN, you will see the VPN server’s IP.

Why is it different from the IP in my computer’s settings?​

Your computer’s settings usually show the private IP your router assigned (such as 192.168.1.10), which only works inside your local network. This page shows your router’s public IP, so the two are naturally different.

Why is the country wrong?​

The country is based on the network your IP belongs to. With a VPN, a proxy, some mobile networks or corporate networks, the IP may be registered in another country and will be shown as such.

What can someone do with my IP address?​

An IP usually reveals only your internet provider and your rough location (country or city), not your street address. Still, avoid sharing it publicly, as it can be used for network attacks or harassment; a VPN can hide it.

Does this site store my IP address?​

The lookup is a request from your browser to this site’s Cloudflare connection. Your IP is not sent to any other third-party service, and this tool does not store it.
