What Is My IP Address? Free IP Lookup
Find your public IP address and view approximate city, country, timezone, ISP, and network details from available third-party lookup providers.
About Your Public IP Address
This lookup shows the public IPv4 or IPv6 address used by your current internet connection, along with network registry and approximate geolocation details when they are available.
Use it to confirm a VPN or proxy connection, check whether you are browsing over IPv4 or IPv6, identify the network shown for your ISP, or copy connection details while troubleshooting.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an IP address?
- An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.
- Why does the location seem slightly off?
- IP geolocation is an estimate based on address ranges, network registries, and provider data. It may show an ISP hub or nearby city and cannot identify your exact street address.
- Will a VPN change the IP address shown?
- Usually. When a VPN is active, websites normally see the VPN server's exit IP and its approximate location rather than the public IP assigned by your ISP.
- What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
- IPv4 uses shorter addresses such as 203.0.113.10, while IPv6 uses a much larger hexadecimal address space. Your network and provider determine which version this request uses.
- Does this lookup send a request to another service?
- Yes. Your browser requests the lookup over HTTPS from ipapi.co, which necessarily receives the public IP used for that connection. Do not use the tool if you do not want to make that third-party request.
