What Is My IP
This page shows the public IP address websites see when you visit them, with its approximate location and internet provider, and lets you look up any other IP.

What is an IP address?
An IP address is the number that identifies your connection on the internet. Every website you visit sees it, because that's where it sends the page back to.
At home it usually belongs to your router, so every phone and laptop on your Wi-Fi shares the same public IP. Your internet provider hands it out and can change it from time to time.
Why the location is only approximate
IP location comes from databases that map blocks of addresses to places. They're usually right about the country, often right about the region, and only sometimes right about the city.
Mobile networks, VPNs and company networks often send traffic out through a hub far from where you are, so the city can be hundreds of kilometres off. An IP address never reveals a street address.
IPv4 and IPv6
IPv4 addresses look like 203.0.113.42. There are only about 4.3 billion of them, which is why providers share them between customers.
IPv6 addresses look like 2001:db8::42 and there are enough for every device to have its own. Many connections have both. Under the main result we show your IPv4 and your IPv6 address side by side, and tell you which one your browser used to reach this page.
To find each one, the page also contacts our own test servers, ip4.tpc-hosting.net and ip6.tpc-hosting.net. They only answer with the address they see and don't store it.

Frequently asked questions
Do you store my IP address?
No. We show it to you and don't store it. The lookup happens when the page loads and the result only lives in your browser tab. The page also contacts ip4.tpc-hosting.net and ip6.tpc-hosting.net, our own test servers, to find your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. They don't store the address either.
Why do I see two IP addresses?
Most connections today can use both IPv4 and IPv6, and each has its own address. The big address at the top is the one your browser used to reach this page. Below it we show both, so you can see what each kind of website would see. If there is no IPv6 address, your connection or provider is IPv4-only.
Can someone find my home from my IP address?
No. An IP points to your internet provider and a rough area, not a street address. Only your provider can link an IP to a customer, and they only share that with a court order.
Why does it show the wrong city?
IP databases are approximate. Your provider may route traffic through a hub in another city, and VPNs or mobile networks often appear somewhere else entirely.
Does a VPN change my IP address?
Yes. With a VPN on, websites see the VPN server's IP instead of yours. Reload this page with the VPN on and off to see the difference.
Where does the "look up any IP" data come from?
The network owner, IP block and registry come from Team Cymru's public IP-to-ASN service, and the hostname comes from reverse DNS (the PTR record). Private addresses like 192.168.x.x can't be looked up because they only exist inside a local network.
