What Is My IP Address
See the public IP address your connection presents to websites, with reverse DNS and the request details your browser sends. Free.
This check runs automatically when the page opens.
This check runs from our server, not from your browser, and is rate limited. Nothing you enter is stored. Private and internal addresses are refused on purpose.
What this tool is for
Shows the address every website sees when you connect, which is your router or your VPN exit rather than your computer. Useful for allowlisting your office in a firewall, and for confirming that a VPN is actually carrying your traffic. Nothing here is logged or stored. This is one of the few tools here that needs a server, because the question is about the internet rather than about your data. The request is made from our server, rate limited, and nothing you enter is stored.
How to use it
- Read your public address at the top of the page.
- Check the reverse DNS name, which often reveals the provider.
- Compare before and after connecting a VPN to confirm it is working.
Frequently asked questions
Why is this different from the address on my computer?
Your device has a private address behind a router. The world sees the router public address, shared by everything on your network.
It changed since yesterday.
Most home connections get a dynamic address that changes on reconnection. A fixed address usually costs extra, which is why firewall rules based on a home IP break periodically.
Does this reveal my exact location?
No. An IP maps roughly to a city or an ISP region, often wrongly, and never to a street address.
