See the public IP address you're connecting from, along with approximate location (country and city), ISP, timezone, and your browser, OS, and screen details.
Home and office connections usually hand out dynamic addresses, so yours changes when the line reconnects. Mobile data routes many subscribers through shared carrier equipment, which is why the location shown can sit tens of kilometres from where you are.
Your public IP is how the internet identifies your connection. That is what this page shows.
Private addresses (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.16–31.x.x) exist only inside your home or office network. Your router hands them out and the internet never sees them.
So every device in your home shares one public IP — the router multiplexes them through NAT. Your device's private address lives in your operating system's network settings.
IPv4 looks like 203.0.113.42. There are about 4.3 billion of them and they ran out years ago.
IPv6 looks like 2001:db8::1 and is effectively unlimited (3.4×10³⁸ addresses).
Seeing both is normal — most networks now run dual stack.
One privacy note: IPv6 often assigns a unique address per device, which makes it easier to track than IPv4. If that concerns you, check that your operating system's privacy extensions (temporary addresses) are enabled.
IP geolocation is a database lookup, not GPS. It reports which region a provider registered that address block to.
City-level accuracy is the realistic best case, and the registered address of the provider's head office is a common answer.
Mobile data is especially poor, because carrier gateways serve users across a wide area — connecting in one city and appearing in another is routine.
Through a VPN or proxy you see that server's location, which is the entire point of using one.
Residential connections normally get a dynamic IP. Rebooting the router or a lease renewal changes it.
A static IP is usually a separate product with an extra charge, needed for hosting a server or terminating a VPN.
Without one, dynamic DNS solves the problem: a hostname that updates whenever the address changes.
This page shows what your browser already tells every site you visit. It is not doing anything unusual — it just displays what is normally invisible.
Public IP, approximate location, provider, timezone, plus browser, operating system, screen size and language settings.
That combination is the raw material of fingerprinting: even with cookies cleared, the combination can re-identify a returning visitor. Privacy tools blur these values for exactly that reason.
This is the address you put in an "allow my IP only" rule — reaching an office server from home, or narrowing a cloud security group.
With a dynamic IP that rule breaks tomorrow and locks you out. Production setups widen to a range, or use a VPN or bastion host instead.
This tool queries external services (api.ipify.org, ipwho.is) for the address and location. By the nature of the request, your IP reaches those services — noted in section 4 of the privacy policy.
Your public IP is what the internet sees; a private IP (like 192.168.x.x) is used only inside your home or office network. This tool shows your public IP.
It's an IP-based estimate, usually accurate to about city level and sometimes different from your real location.
Most home internet connections use a dynamic IP that can change when you reconnect or restart your router. If you're using a VPN, you'll see the VPN server's IP instead of your own.
What this tool bases its numbers on, and how far those numbers go.
The public address is the source address seen by the server, so it reflects whatever NAT, proxy or VPN sits between you and it. Country, city and ISP come from a geolocation lookup against that address; browser, OS and screen details are read from the browser itself and never involve the network.Carrier-grade NAT places many subscribers behind one public address, using the shared range 100.64.0.0/10 that RFC 6598 sets aside for it. The address you see then identifies the carrier's equipment rather than your line.
