What is My IP

Your public IP address is the unique identifier assigned to your internet connection by your ISP. It is visible to every website and server you communicate with. It is different from your private IP (e.g. 192.168.x.x), which is only used inside your home or office network.

IPv4 addresses look like 203.0.113.42 (four groups of numbers). IPv6 addresses are longer, like 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334, and were introduced because the world ran out of IPv4 addresses. Most connections still use IPv4, but IPv6 adoption is growing rapidly.

Yes. Every HTTP request you make reveals your public IP address to the destination server. This is technically necessary for the server to send responses back to you. Websites can use this to estimate your location, block certain countries, or log visits.

The location is approximate — typically accurate to city or region level. It is not your exact street address. ISPs own blocks of IP addresses and register them to a location, which may not match your precise physical location, especially on mobile networks or VPNs.

ISPs often register large blocks of IP addresses to their headquarters city, not the city where you are using the internet. Mobile networks, VPNs, and corporate proxies commonly show the wrong city.

Yes. A VPN replaces your real public IP with the IP of the VPN server. Websites then see the VPN server’s IP and location, not yours. This tool will show the VPN’s IP if you are connected to one.

A dynamic IP changes periodically — typically when your router reconnects or your ISP reassigns it. Most home broadband connections use dynamic IPs. A static IP is fixed and never changes, used by businesses and servers that need a consistent address.

No. All information is fetched client-side in your browser and displayed only to you. We do not log, store, or share your IP address or any personal data when you use this tool.

ISP stands for Internet Service Provider — the company that provides your internet connection (e.g. Airtel, Jio, Comcast). ASN (Autonomous System Number) is a unique identifier for each ISP’s network on the internet, used for routing.
