Looking up your public IP…
What Is the What Is My IP?
The What Is My IP tool instantly shows your public IP address along with its geolocation — country, city, ISP, and ASN — and tells you whether you appear as a residential or datacenter address. It is the fastest way to confirm your current IP, check that a proxy or VPN is active, and see how the internet sees you.
Key Features
What Your Public IP Reveals
Your public IP is the address the internet uses to reach you, and it carries your approximate location and the name of your ISP. Every site you visit sees it. Checking it tells you how you appear online — which is essential when you are using a proxy or VPN and need to confirm your real address is hidden.
Confirming a Proxy or VPN Works
The simplest way to verify a proxy or VPN is to check your visible IP before and after connecting. If the address, location, and ISP change to the expected values — and the IP is classified as residential when it should be — your setup is working. If your real details still show, you have a leak to fix.
Common Use Cases
- Confirming your VPN or proxy is active and hiding your IP
- Checking your current location as sites see it
- Verifying an IP appears as residential, not datacenter
- Quickly finding your public IP for allow-listing
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between public and private IP?
Your public IP is assigned by your ISP and is visible to every website you visit. A private IP (like 192.168.x.x) is used only inside your local network and is not reachable from the internet.
How do I know if my VPN is working?
Check this page with your VPN off, then turn it on and refresh. If your IP address, location, and ISP all change to the VPN’s, it is working. If your real details still appear, your VPN has a leak.
Why does my IP show the wrong city?
IP geolocation maps addresses to ISP infrastructure rather than your exact location, so the city can be off by some distance. Country-level results are far more accurate.
Does this tool log my IP?
The tool performs a read-only lookup to display your IP and its details to you. It is designed to be privacy-friendly and is free to use without an account.
Can I see my IPv6 address too?
Yes, if your connection uses IPv6, the tool shows it. Many connections have both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address.
