What's My IP guide

Your public IP address is the address the rest of the internet sees when you connect. Websites, APIs, and game servers see this one, not the private address your router gives your device. This page shows it instantly, with a button to copy it.

Public and private IP addresses

At home or in an office, many devices share one public IP through the router, which gives each device a private address such as 192.168.1.20 or 10.0.0.5. Private addresses only work inside your own network. The address shown here is your public one.

IPv4 and IPv6

An IPv4 address is four numbers separated by dots, like 203.0.113.7. An IPv6 address is longer and uses colons. When your connection reports both, this page shows the IPv4 address, since that is what most firewalls and allowlists ask for.

When you need it

  • Allowlisting your IP for a database, an SSH server, or a cloud firewall.
  • Checking that a VPN or proxy works: the address should change when it is on.
  • Giving your address to IT or customer support while troubleshooting.

How it works

Unlike the other tools here, this one needs the server, because your public IP is only visible from outside your network. The address is read from your connection when the page loads, shown to you, and not saved by the page. If you use a VPN, you will see the VPN's address instead of your own.

Frequently asked questions

What is a public IP address?
A public IP address is a unique identifier assigned to your device by your internet service provider (ISP) that allows it to communicate over the internet. Our 'What's My IP' tool instantly displays this address for you.
Why do I need to know my public IP address?
Knowing your public IP address can help with troubleshooting network issues, setting up remote access, or verifying your location for certain online services. Use this tool to quickly find it!
How often does my public IP address change?
Your public IP address may change depending on your ISP and whether you have a dynamic or static IP. Dynamic IPs can change periodically, while static IPs remain constant—check yours anytime with our tool.
Is my IP address private or secure?
The 'What's My IP' tool only shows your public IP, which is visible to websites and services you connect to. It doesn’t reveal private details, but for security, consider using a VPN to mask your IP.
Does it show the IPv4 or IPv6 address?
The 'What's My IP' tool displays both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. But if IPv6 is not enabled on your device or router, it will only show IPv4 address.
