How to Use What Is My IP Address

See your public IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) instantly, plus your browser, operating system, device, language, time zone, screen size and user agent.

About this tool

Your IP address is the number that identifies your internet connection to the websites you visit. This tool shows your public IP address the moment the page loads, tells you whether it is IPv4 or IPv6, and lists the details your browser shares with websites: browser, operating system, device type, language, time zone, screen size and the full user agent string.

How to use What Is My IP Address

  1. Open the page and your public IP address appears at the top.
  2. Copy it with one click, or check again after switching networks or a VPN.
  3. Review the browser and device details that websites can see.

Worked example

Support teams often ask for your IP address to allow it through a firewall. Connect to your VPN, click Check again and confirm the address has changed to the VPN's IP.

What is the difference between a public and a private IP?

Your public IP is the address the internet sees, usually shared by all devices on your network. Private IPs like 192.168.1.10 are used only inside your home or office network.

Can someone find my home address from my IP?

An IP address usually reveals only your internet provider and an approximate city or region, not your street address.

Why does my IP address change?

Most home and mobile connections get a dynamic IP that the provider can change, for example when your router restarts.
