Frequently Asked Questions
What is my IP address?
Your IP (Internet Protocol) address is the unique number your internet connection uses to communicate online, like 203.0.113.45. Websites see it to send data back to you. Our tool shows your public IP instantly, plus your approximate location, ISP name and whether you are on IPv4 or IPv6.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses look like four number groups (203.0.113.45) and are the most common. IPv6 addresses are longer, with hexadecimal groups separated by colons. Our tool detects and displays whichever version your connection uses. Most home connections still use IPv4, while many mobile networks have moved to IPv6 — the tool reports whichever is active.
How accurate is the IP location shown?
The location is approximate — usually accurate to your city or region, not your street address. It comes from a geolocation database mapping IP ranges to areas, so VPNs, mobile networks and corporate connections can show a different city. If you need your exact address for deliveries or services, use your device GPS instead of IP geolocation.
Is it safe to check my IP address here?
Yes. Your real IP is visible to every website you visit and to your internet provider. Our tool only displays it back to you in your own browser — nothing is logged or stored on our servers. The check is read-only: it simply reflects back the address your connection already shares with every site you visit.
Why does my IP look different from before?
If the shown IP differs from your usual one, you may be on a VPN, proxy or mobile data. A sudden unexpected change can also mean your router reconnected and your ISP assigned a new dynamic address, which is normal.
How can I change my IP address?
Restarting your router often gets you a new dynamic IP from your ISP. For a deliberate change, use a VPN service. Note that some sites block known VPN addresses, and changing IP does not make you anonymous on its own.
