Your IP Address
What is an IP Address?
An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique number assigned to every device connected to the internet. This number enables devices to communicate with each other and exchange data.
Your IP address can provide information about your geographic location, internet service provider (ISP), and other technical details.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my IP address change?
Most home and mobile connections get a dynamic IP address from the internet provider. A new address can be assigned when your modem restarts, when the connection drops or at regular intervals. If you need a fixed address, you can ask your provider for a static IP.
Why is the IP shown here different from the one on my computer?
This page shows the public IP address you use on the internet. Addresses such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x in your computer's network settings are private addresses that only work inside your home or office network; your modem connects all of these devices to the internet through a single public IP address.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses consist of four numbers separated by dots, such as 203.0.113.25, and are limited to about 4.3 billion addresses in total. IPv6 addresses consist of hexadecimal groups, such as 2001:db8::1, and offer a far larger address space. Our site currently runs over IPv4, so the IPv4 address of your connection is shown here.
Can my location be found from my IP address?
An IP address usually gives an approximate location at country and city level; the city shown is often where your provider's infrastructure is. An exact location such as your home address cannot be found from an IP address; that information exists only in your provider's records.
Which IP address is shown when I use a VPN?
If you use a VPN or a proxy, this page shows the IP address and location of the VPN server rather than your own. Turn off the VPN and press Refresh to see your own IP address.
