⚠️ Privacy Notice
Your IP address can reveal your approximate location. For better privacy, consider using a VPN or proxy service. This tool processes data client-side and doesn't store your information.
What is an IP Address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical identifier assigned to every device connected to a computer network. It serves two primary functions: identifying the host or network interface and providing the location of the device in the network. IP addresses are essential for routing internet traffic and enabling communication between devices.
Why Check Your IP Address?
Knowing your IP address is useful for network troubleshooting, setting up servers, configuring firewalls, verifying VPN connections, understanding your online privacy exposure, and diagnosing connectivity issues. Web developers and IT professionals frequently need to check IPs for debugging and security purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can someone find my exact location from my IP?
IP geolocation typically provides city-level accuracy, not your exact street address. The accuracy varies by ISP and region. For better privacy, use a VPN to mask your real IP.
Why do I see different IPv4 and IPv6 addresses?
IPv4 and IPv6 are different protocols. Your ISP may assign you both types of addresses. Some networks use NAT for IPv4, sharing one public IP among many users, while giving each device a unique IPv6.
What is WebRTC and why does it show local IPs?
WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) is a browser technology for peer-to-peer connections. It can expose local network IPs even when using a VPN. This is useful for diagnostics but may be a privacy concern.
How can I hide my IP address?
You can use a VPN (Virtual Private Network), proxy server, or Tor browser to mask your real IP address. These services route your traffic through their servers, showing their IP instead of yours.
