What Is My IP Address
Every device connected to the internet is assigned a unique identifier known as an IP address. When you visit a website it is your public IP address that servers see. Our “What Is My IP” tool allows you to view your public IP address instantly. It displays whether you are using IPv4 or IPv6 and may show additional connection details. This is useful for troubleshooting network issues, verifying your VPN or proxy, or simply confirming your current internet connection.
Knowing your IP address helps you understand how websites identify your connection and can assist in privacy, security and server configuration scenarios. Whether you are a home user, a web developer or part of a support team the tool gives you a clear view of the address assigned by your Internet Service Provider.
Why Check Your IP Address
Your IP address forms a key part of your online identity. Some reasons to check it include:
- Verifying if your VPN or proxy is working correctly
- Troubleshooting network connectivity or remote access issues
- Supporting tech support with accurate information
- Ensuring your location or ISP assignment is as expected
- Setting up servers, remote access or whitelist rules
Because the IP address can reveal approximate location, ISP name and device connection type it is wise to check it from time to time to ensure everything is working as you expect.
What the Tool Shows
When you use our “What Is My IP Address” tool you will see:
- Your public IP address, whether IPv4 or IPv6
- The ISP or network provider (where available)
- The browser and device details (optional)
- Approximate location information (city, region, country)
- Other technical data about your current connection
All this data is shown instantly and no input is required beyond visiting the page. The tool fetches your public IP via your browser and network request and displays it cleanly.
How to Use the Tool
Simply visit the page. Your public IP address will appear automatically. You can copy it for use in support tickets, server logs, web services or security checks. If you are using a VPN or proxy you can use this tool to confirm it is active. If the IP you expect does not appear, check your network settings or contact your provider.
Good to Know: IPv4 vs IPv6
IPv4 is the older and most widely used format. It appears as four numbers separated by dots (for example 192.168.1.1).
IPv6 is the newer longer format meant to provide vastly more addresses and appears with hexadecimal and colon separation (for example 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334).
