This page shows your public IP address the moment it opens - the address websites, games and email servers see. Below are its location, provider and connection type, an IPv6 and WebRTC leak test, and a plain-text API. To look up any other address, use the IP Location Checker.

Approximate area
The circle is the rough network area, not your street. IP location is an estimate.
VPN and proxy hint
Checking...
A hint, not proof: good VPNs pass these checks, and some normal connections fail them.
WebRTC leak test
WebRTC lets websites make video calls from your browser, and it can reveal your IP addresses - sometimes your real one while a VPN is on. The test asks a public STUN server (Google) for your address, the way video-call sites do, and shows what your browser gives away. Nothing is sent to us.
Your browser and device
Read by your browser on your device - this page does not send any of it to us.
Look up another IP
Opens the IP Location Checker - bulk lookups of up to 100 addresses, CIDR ranges and CSV export too.
Get your IP from the command line
Free plain-text and JSON endpoints for scripts, terminals and dynamic DNS. Please keep it under 2 requests a second.
?format=text returns just the IP and a line break. ?format=json returns {"ip": ..., "version": ...}, and details=1 adds the country, city, provider and ASN. Plain curl https://convertico.com/what-is-my-ip/ also answers in text.
Open this page. Your public IP address appears at the top straight away, labelled IPv4 or IPv6. It is the address every website you visit sees.
Check the details. Below it you get the approximate city and country, your internet provider, the connection type and a map of the area.
Test IPv6 and WebRTC. The page tests whether you also have an IPv6 address. Press Run the WebRTC test to see if your browser reveals another IP.
Copy or share it. Press Copy IP to put the address on your clipboard, or Copy summary for the address, location and provider in one go.
What is an IP address?
An IP address is the number that identifies a connection on the internet.
Every website you open sends its reply to that number, the same way a letter needs a return address.
Your internet provider assigns it, usually for days or weeks, and it changes when you switch networks.
Public vs private IP address
Your 192.168.x.x address is not your public IP.
Phones, laptops and TVs at home get private addresses such as 192.168.1.20 or 10.0.0.5. They only work inside your network.
Your router shares one public address between all of them - that is the one shown at the top. Curious what a private range is for? Type it into the IP Location Checker and it explains it.
IPv4 vs IPv6
IPv4 addresses are four numbers, like 203.0.113.42. There are only about 4.3 billion, so providers share them.
IPv6 addresses are longer, like 2001:db8::1, with enough for every device on Earth many times over.
Many connections have both, and your browser picks one per website. The two boxes at the top show which you have.
Why your IP location can be wrong
IP location finds your provider's network, not your home.
Mobile data, VPNs, company networks and carrier-grade NAT often route traffic through another city, or another country. Treat the country as reliable and the city as a guess.
How to hide or change your IP
VPN - websites see the VPN server's IP instead of yours. Run the WebRTC test above to make sure it does not leak.
Tor Browser - routes traffic through three volunteer relays. Slow, but very private.
Mobile data - switching from Wi-Fi gives you your carrier's IP.
Restart the router - some providers then hand out a new address. Many keep the old one.
Changing your IP does not hide who you are when you log in to an account. Protect those with a strong, unique password from the Password Generator.
Find your IP on Windows, Mac, phone or router
Device settings show your private IP. For the public one, use this page.
Windows - open Command Prompt and type ipconfig, or go to Settings > Network & internet > Properties.
macOS - System Settings > Wi-Fi > Details, or type ipconfig getifaddr en0 in Terminal.
Android - Settings > Network & internet > Wi-Fi, tap your network, then the gear icon.
iPhone and iPad - Settings > Wi-Fi, tap the i next to your network.
Router - open 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 in a browser and log in. The status page shows the public (WAN) IP.
Privacy: what we store
Your IP on this page is read from your connection to show it to you. The page itself does not save it.
Location details come from ip-api.com, so your IP is sent there once. The answer is cached on our server for up to 4 hours to keep repeat visits fast, then cleaned up.
Rate limiting keeps a short list of request times per address, stored under a one-way hash. It expires after 4 hours and is then cleaned up.
Server logs - like every website, our web server keeps standard access logs for security and troubleshooting.
Browser details and the WebRTC test stay on your device. The WebRTC test talks to Google's public STUN server; the map tiles come from OpenStreetMap and the flags from flagcdn.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
It is the number shown at the top of this page - the address your internet provider gives your connection. Every website you visit sees it.
It can change when your router restarts or when you switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data.
Your computer shows its private address, such as 192.168.1.20, which only works inside your home or office network.
Your router swaps it for one public address on the way out to the internet - that is the one shown here.
No. An IP address points to your internet provider and a rough area - usually a city or region.
Only your provider can link the address to a customer, and it only does so for a court order or a police request.
Location databases place an IP where its network is registered or routed. Mobile carriers, VPNs and company networks often send traffic through a city far from you.
The country is usually right; the city is an estimate. Check any address with the IP Location Checker.
The IPv4 and IPv6 boxes at the top test both. If IPv6 shows as not available, your provider, router or network does not give you IPv6 yet.
That is common and nothing breaks - IPv4 still works everywhere.
Use a VPN or Tor to show websites a different IP. Switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data also gives you another address.
Restarting your router sometimes gets you a new IP from your provider, but many providers keep the same one for weeks.
WebRTC lets browsers make video calls directly. To do that it can reveal your IP addresses to the website - sometimes even your real IP while a VPN is on.
The WebRTC test on this page shows exactly what your browser reveals.
Yes. Run curl https://convertico.com/what-is-my-ip/?format=text for just the address, or ?format=json for JSON.
It works in scripts, terminals and PowerShell - free within a fair rate limit.
