What Is My IP Address?
Your public IP address is shown below as soon as the page loads, along with the network that provides it. Nothing to type and nothing to install.

The classic address, four numbers such as 203.0.113.25.
The newer, longer address, such as 2001:db8::1.
Visible from your IP address
This is what any website can see about you the moment you visit, without asking. We do not store it.
From your connection
From your browser
To find both of your addresses, your browser also asks icanhazip.com, a free service run by Cloudflare, for its IPv4 and IPv6 address. Location is approximate and comes from your IP address, so it shows where your provider connects you, not where you are.
What Is an IP Address?
An IP address is the number that identifies your connection on the internet, so that websites know where to send the page you asked for. Your public IP address is the one every website sees when you visit it.
There are two kinds. IPv4 addresses look like 203.0.113.25 and IPv6 addresses look like 2001:db8::1. Inside a home or office your devices also have private addresses such as 192.168.1.20, which your router swaps for the one public address when you go online.
Your public address normally belongs to your internet provider and can change from time to time. If you use a VPN or a company network, the address shown is the VPN's or the company's.
What Your Address Tells the World.
Every website you visit sees your public address. This page shows you what they see, and who the address belongs to.
Your public address
The IPv4 or IPv6 address websites see when you visit them. It may differ from the address your router uses inside your home or office.
IPv4 or IPv6
Which of the two address types your connection is using. Many connections have both, and browsers prefer IPv6 when it is available.
Your network and provider
The network name and organisation the address belongs to, usually your internet provider, mobile network or VPN.
Reverse DNS
The hostname your provider has set for the address, if any. Often it names the provider and your area.
Common Problems and Fixes.
Why the address you see may not be the one you expect.
It is not the address I expected
A VPN, proxy, mobile network or office network changes the address the world sees. Turn the VPN off and check again to see your provider's address.
It shows IPv6 and I wanted IPv4
Your device and provider support IPv6 and the browser prefers it. Your router's status page also lists the IPv4 address, if your provider gives you one.
My IP address keeps changing
Most home connections use a dynamic address that changes when the router restarts or the provider renews it. Ask your provider for a static IP if you need a fixed address.
I need to allow my IP on a server or firewall
Copy the address shown here into the allow list. If your address changes, the entry stops working, so use a static IP or a VPN with a fixed address.
Many people on my network show the same IP
That is normal. A router, office or mobile provider shares one public address between many devices.
I think my IP address is being misused
Your provider can see which customer used an address at a given time. Report the problem to them with times and log lines, and keep your router's firmware up to date.
