IP & Network Check

What Is My IP Address? – Check IPv4, IPv6 & ISP

See the public IP address websites can see, check IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity, view your ISP, ASN and approximate IP location, compare browser and IP timezones, and run extra privacy checks.

Your Public IP Address

The live tool detects public IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity separately, then shows network information associated with the current public address.

Public IPv4: The internet-facing IPv4 address detected for your current connection.
Public IPv6: The public IPv6 address detected when IPv6 connectivity is available.
ISP / Organization: The network organization associated with the public IP range.
ASN: The autonomous system announcing the IP route.
Approximate location: City, region and country estimated from IP geolocation data.
IP timezone: The timezone associated with the IP geolocation record.

How to Check Your IP Address

Wait for the IPv4 and IPv6 checks to finish.
Copy the public IP you need or copy the full network report.
Review ISP, ASN and approximate IP location.
Compare browser timezone with IP timezone.
Run the optional WebRTC exposure check.
If you use a VPN, save a baseline, change the VPN state and check again.

Public IP vs Private IP

Your public IP is the address internet services see. Devices inside a home or office network also have private local addresses used only within that network. Modern browsers increasingly hide local addresses from ordinary webpages, so this tool focuses on the public IP used to reach internet services.

What This IP Check Shows

IPv4 Address

Checks the public IPv4 address visible for your connection.

IPv6 Address

Checks whether public IPv6 connectivity is available.

ISP & ASN

Shows the network organization and autonomous system associated with the IP.

Approximate Location

Shows IP-based city, region and country when lookup data is available.

Timezone Comparison

Compares browser timezone with the timezone associated with the public IP.

VPN Change Check

Lets you save a baseline and verify whether changing VPN state changes the public IP websites see.

What Your IP Information Means

Field	What it tells you	Important limitation
IPv4 / IPv6	The internet-facing address used for that protocol	Your ISP or VPN can change it, and dual-stack networks can have both.
ISP / Organization	The network associated with the IP range	May show a carrier, cloud provider, employer or VPN network rather than a retail ISP.
ASN	The autonomous system announcing the IP route	Identifies routing ownership, not an individual user.
City / Region	Approximate location from an IP geolocation database	Can be many miles away and may point to network infrastructure.
Timezone	Timezone associated with the IP geolocation record	Mismatch with device timezone is only a clue, not proof of VPN use.
WebRTC candidates	Network candidate information exposed by the browser	Modern browsers may hide local addresses or return mDNS names.

Can a VPN Hide or Change Your IP?

A VPN normally routes internet traffic through a VPN server so websites see the server's public IP instead of the direct public IP assigned to the connection. The VPN Change Check verifies whether the visible public IP changed without making a definitive automatic VPN-detection claim.

How Accurate Is IP Location?

IP geolocation is approximate. It can often identify the correct country and sometimes the right city or region, but it should not be treated like GPS or a precise street address.

WebRTC IP Exposure

The optional WebRTC check shows network candidates exposed by the browser. Modern browser privacy protections may hide local addresses, return mDNS names or limit candidate information.

IP Address Troubleshooting

VPN or proxy routing. A privacy service, work network or proxy can change the public IP and location websites see.
Mobile carrier networking. Mobile providers can route many users through shared gateways.
Dynamic IP assignment. Residential ISPs often change public IP addresses periodically.
Geolocation mismatch. Location databases can lag behind network changes or map an IP to ISP infrastructure.

What Is My IP Frequently Asked Questions

What is my IP address?

Your public IP address is the internet-facing address websites and online services see when your connection reaches them.

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

A public IP is visible on the internet. Private IP addresses are used inside local networks, such as addresses assigned by a home router to phones, computers and smart devices.

What is IPv4?

IPv4 is the older and still widely used Internet Protocol format. It uses 32-bit addresses written as four decimal numbers separated by dots.

What is IPv6?

IPv6 is the newer Internet Protocol version with a much larger address space. IPv6 addresses are longer and use hexadecimal groups separated by colons.

Can I have both IPv4 and IPv6?

Yes. Many connections are dual stack, which means they can use both IPv4 and IPv6 depending on the destination and network path.

Why is no IPv6 address detected?

Your ISP, router, mobile network, VPN or current device configuration may not provide working IPv6 connectivity. That does not necessarily mean anything is wrong.

Can my IP address reveal my exact home address?

Usually no. IP geolocation is approximate and often points to a city, region, network gateway or ISP infrastructure rather than a precise household location.

What can websites see from my IP address?

A website can see the public IP used to connect to it and can use databases to estimate details such as country, region, city, ISP, organization and ASN.

What is an ASN?

An Autonomous System Number identifies a network or group of IP routes operated under a common routing policy, such as an ISP, cloud provider or large organization.

Why does the city shown for my IP look wrong?

IP geolocation databases are approximate and can be outdated or map an address to ISP infrastructure rather than your actual location.

Does a VPN change my public IP address?

A VPN normally makes websites see the VPN server's public IP instead of the public IP assigned to your direct connection.

How can I check whether my VPN changed my IP?

Use the VPN Change Check on this page: save your current IP, enable the VPN, then check again. A changed public IP confirms that the visible network endpoint changed.

Can this page tell for certain whether I am using a VPN?

No. IP databases and browser signals can suggest network differences, but they cannot reliably prove whether every connection is a VPN. The page therefore avoids making a definitive VPN-detection claim.

What is a WebRTC IP leak?

WebRTC can expose network candidates used for real-time connections. Modern browsers often hide local addresses with mDNS or privacy protections, but a WebRTC check can still reveal what candidate information the browser exposes.

Why does my browser timezone differ from my IP timezone?

This can happen because of travel, VPN or proxy routing, remote networks, virtual machines or simply different device settings. A mismatch is a clue, not proof of a VPN.

Can my ISP see my internet traffic?

Your ISP carries your internet connection and can observe network metadata and destinations in varying detail. HTTPS protects page contents in transit, while a VPN changes which external endpoint the ISP sees you connecting through.

Does changing Wi-Fi change my IP address?

It can. Moving between home Wi-Fi, mobile data, work networks or public Wi-Fi often changes the public IP because each connection may use a different ISP or network gateway.

Is my public IP permanent?

Often not. Many residential and mobile ISPs use dynamic addresses that can change periodically or when the connection is re-established.
