What's my IP address?

Your public IP address is the unique identifier your Internet Service Provider assigns to your connection. Every time you load a website, send an email or stream a video, that address travels with the request so the server knows where to send the response.

Unlike the private address your router gives each device at home (usually something like 192.168.1.x), your public IP is visible to every website and service you connect to. All the devices on your home Wi-Fi typically share this one public address.

Most home and mobile connections get a dynamic IP that can change when your router reconnects, while businesses and servers usually have a static IP that stays the same. Read more in our guide to public vs private IP addresses.

When you open this page, our server reads the connection details of your HTTP request. We check standard proxy headers such as X-Forwarded-For and X-Real-IP (set by CDNs and load balancers), so the result is your real client address even when the request passes through several network layers.

Detection happens in real time and the result is shown only in your browser. We don't store your IP for tracking or marketing; see our Privacy Policy for details.
