About What's My IP?
Find your public IP address instantly. Shows IPv4/IPv6, location, ISP, timezone. Free, no sign-up, no tracking.
How to use
- The page detects your public IP automatically as soon as it loads — no input required. The address shown is what websites and servers see when you connect to them.
- If you're behind a VPN or proxy, this is the IP of the VPN/proxy server, not your real ISP-assigned IP. Disconnect the VPN to see your true public IP.
- Click Copy to put the address on your clipboard. Click Refresh to re-query — useful after switching networks (cellular ↔ WiFi) or toggling a VPN.
- The info grid below shows what country, region, and ISP your IP is registered to. This is not GPS-precise — it's the registered owner of the IP block, which can be the closest ISP datacenter rather than your physical location.
- Your browser's reported timezone is shown as a separate cell — this comes from your operating system, not the IP lookup, and can differ if you've changed timezones manually.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between public and local IP?
Your public IP is what the internet sees — websites, services, and other people connecting to you. It's assigned by your ISP and shared by every device on your network. Your local IP (typically 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) only exists inside your local network — your router uses it to route traffic between your devices. Public IP is what this tool shows. To find your local IP, check your OS network settings.
Why does my IP location show the wrong city?
IP geolocation is based on the registered owner of the IP block, not GPS. Most ISPs register their IP blocks to a regional datacenter — so your IP might show the city where your ISP has its routing equipment, even if you're 50km away. For accurate location, browsers use HTML5 Geolocation API (which asks for permission), not IP lookups.
Does using a VPN hide my real IP?
Yes. When connected to a VPN, this tool shows the VPN server's IP, not your real ISP-assigned IP. Websites you visit also see only the VPN's IP. That's the point of a VPN — to mask your real network identity. Note that some sites detect known VPN IP ranges and block them.
What is IPv6?
IPv6 is the modern internet address protocol designed to replace IPv4. IPv4 has only ~4.3 billion possible addresses (and we ran out years ago); IPv6 has 340 undecillion (3.4 × 10³⁸). IPv6 addresses look like 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334. Most ISPs now provide both, and browsers automatically choose IPv6 when the destination supports it. If this tool shows an IPv6 address, your network supports it natively.
Is this tool free?
Yes, completely free with no account, no signup, no ads injected on this page, no IP logging by ToolFluency. The IP detection itself is done client-side using public APIs (ipapi.co with ipify fallback).
