What Is My IP Address
This page detects and displays the public IP address that websites see when you connect — no need to enter anything, it's read directly from the request that loaded this page.
Your public IP address is the one assigned by your internet service provider, mobile carrier, or VPN to represent your connection to the wider internet — it's how a remote server knows where to send its response back to you, and it's typically different from the private IP address your own router assigns to devices on your home network. Most home connections use a "dynamic" IP that changes periodically (for example, whenever your router restarts or your provider reassigns addresses), which is why this address can look different if you check it again days or weeks later.
- What is a public IP address? The address your internet service provider (or mobile carrier, or VPN) assigns your connection to reach the internet — it's how remote servers know where to send responses back to you.
- It can change: most home internet connections use a "dynamic" IP that changes periodically (e.g. when your router restarts), so this isn't necessarily a permanent identifier.
- Detected server-side: this reads the actual IP address seen by our server when your browser requested this page, not a client-side estimate.
Why is my IP address different from my home network address (like 192.168.1.x)?
192.168.x.x addresses are private, local-network addresses used only inside your home or office — your public IP is the single address your router (or ISP) presents to the wider internet on behalf of every device behind it.
Does a VPN change what shows here?
Yes — if you're connected through a VPN, this page shows the VPN server's IP address, not your actual originating connection, since that's the address our server sees.
