What Is My IP Address
Your public IP, IPv4 and IPv6, country and browser at a glance. Runs in your browser.
About this what is my ip address
This page shows your public IP address the moment it loads: the address every website sees when your device connects. It also tells you whether it is IPv4 or IPv6, which country it maps to, and what your browser and operating system are.
Most people need it for something practical. A game server asks for it, IT support wants it, a firewall rule needs it, or you are checking that a VPN actually changed it. Copy it with one click. If you need more than the country, look up the city, ISP and ASN for the same address.
Your address comes from this site's own server, which simply reads where your request came from. No third party is involved unless you tick the optional IPv4 and IPv6 check, and the page says exactly which service that contacts.
Features
Your IP without a third party
The main address is read by this site's own server from the connection itself. It is not logged into an account, and there is no sign-up or cookie banner to click through.
IPv4 and IPv6 side by side
Many connections have both. The optional check asks one endpoint that only answers over IPv4 and another that only answers over IPv6, so you see each address and whether your network has working IPv6 at all.
Browser, OS and device
The user agent is parsed on the page, and on Chromium browsers the Client Hints fill in what the string hides, such as Windows 11 versus Windows 10. Language, time zone and screen size are listed too.
Hide button for screen sharing
Press Hide before you share your screen or take a screenshot, and every digit is masked. The copy button still copies the real value.
One click to the next step
Links carry your address straight into the location lookup, a WHOIS lookup of the network owner, or a reverse DNS query.
How to use the what is my ip address
- 1Open the page. Your public IP and country appear straight away.
- 2Tick the IPv4 and IPv6 check to see both addresses separately.
- 3Copy the address, or open its location, WHOIS or reverse DNS.
When to use it
Checking a VPN or proxy
Note your IP and country, connect the VPN, then press Refresh. If the address and flag did not change, traffic is not going through the tunnel. Turn on the IPv6 check too: some VPNs only tunnel IPv4 and leak your real IPv6 address.
Allow-listing an address
Database firewalls, admin panels and API dashboards often ask for the IP to allow. Copy it here. Remember that most home connections get a new address every so often, so a rule that worked last month may need updating.
Finding out if you are behind carrier-grade NAT
If your router's admin page shows a WAN address starting with 100.64 to 100.127, and this page shows something different, your ISP shares one public IP among many customers. Port forwarding will not work from outside without asking the ISP for a public address.
What is my IP address, exactly?
An IP address is the number that routes data to your network on the internet. The one shown here is your public address. Your router or mobile carrier holds it, and every device behind it shares it when it talks to the outside world.
Inside your home, each device has a private address as well, such as 192.168.1.23. Those come from ranges reserved by RFC 1918 and are never seen by websites. That is why your laptop's network settings show a different number from this page.
A public IP is not tied to you forever. Most home and mobile connections get a dynamic address that changes when the router restarts or the lease runs out. Businesses usually pay for a static one.
IPv4 vs IPv6: why you might have two addresses
IPv4 addresses are 32 bits, written as four numbers like 203.0.113.7. There are only about 4.3 billion of them, which ran out years ago, so ISPs stretch them with NAT. IPv6 addresses are 128 bits, written in hex like 2001:db8::7, and there are enough for every device to have its own.
Most modern networks run both at once (dual stack). When a site supports IPv6, your browser normally prefers it, so the main address on this page may be IPv6. The optional check shows the IPv4 address you would use for older sites.
- Only IPv4 detected: your ISP or router does not provide IPv6. That is common and nothing is broken.
- IPv6 on a VPN that should hide it: the VPN is leaking. Turn on its IPv6 protection or disable IPv6.
What can someone do with my IP address?
Less than people fear. An IP address reveals your rough area, usually the city or region where your ISP routes traffic, and the name of your ISP. It does not reveal your name, street address or browsing history. Only the ISP can match an address to a subscriber, and it does that for legal requests.
What is a WebRTC leak?
WebRTC powers video calls in the browser. To connect two people directly, it collects every address your device has, including the local one. Years ago any page could read those addresses with a few lines of JavaScript, and on some VPN setups that exposed the real public IP too.
Current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari replace local addresses with random names ending in .local unless you have granted the page camera or microphone access. This page explains the issue but does not run a WebRTC probe, because the point is to inform you, not to collect more than it needs.
Why use Mavros
| Mavros | Typical upload sites | |
|---|---|---|
| Who sees your address | This site's own server; third parties only if you opt in | Several ad and analytics scripts on every visit |
| IPv4 and IPv6 separately | Yes, optional and clearly labelled | Often only one |
| Browser and OS detail | User agent plus Client Hints (Windows 11 shown correctly) | User agent only |
| Hide for screenshots | Yes | Rare |
| Ads and pop-ups | None in the tool | VPN upsells and banners |
| Links to deeper lookups | Location, WHOIS and reverse DNS prefilled | Separate searches |
Tips
- Testing a VPN? Check both IPv4 and IPv6. A leak on one protocol is easy to miss if you only look at the other.
- If the address looks like 100.64.x.x to 100.127.x.x in your router, you are behind carrier-grade NAT. Port forwarding needs a public IP from your ISP.
- Need the exact OS version for a bug report? The user agent parser shows the full Client Hints breakdown.
- Running a server at home? Check the DNS records of your domain point at the address shown here.
Questions
What is my IP address?
It is the large number at the top of this page. That is your public IP, the address websites see. Press Copy IP to copy it.
Is my IP address private information?
It is personal data under the GDPR, but it is not secret. Every site you visit sees it, and it reveals only your approximate area and ISP, never your name or street address.
Why does this page show a different country from where I am?
IP location databases place you where your ISP's network is registered or routed, which can be a neighbouring city or country. VPNs, corporate networks and some mobile carriers make this more common.
What does it mean if no IPv6 address is detected?
Your network does not route IPv6. That is normal on many home, office and mobile connections, and everything still works over IPv4.
Does this site store my IP address?
The tool does not save or log it for any account or profile. The optional IPv4 and IPv6 check sends one request each to api4.ipify.org and api6.ipify.org, which see your IP as any website would.
Can I find my local IP address here?
No. Browsers deliberately hide local addresses from web pages. Look in your device's network settings, or run ipconfig on Windows, or ifconfig on macOS and Linux.
