What’s my IP address?

Your public IP is how the internet finds you. Here’s the address websites see when you connect — plus the other details your browser quietly shares.

Why can’t my browser just tell me my IP?

A web page running in your browser can only see your local network address — not the public IP the rest of the internet sees. So this tool asks our Australian server “what address did this request come from?” and shows you the answer. That public IP is assigned by your internet provider and is shared with every website you visit.

IPv4 vs IPv6

An IPv4 address looks like 203.0.113.42. The newer IPv6 format looks like 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334 — there simply weren’t enough IPv4 addresses to go around. You may have one or both.

Common questions

Is my IP address private information?
It’s not secret — every site you visit sees it — but it can reveal your rough location and internet provider. It can’t, on its own, reveal your name or street address.
Why does my IP keep changing?
Most home and mobile connections use a “dynamic” IP that your provider rotates from time to time. Businesses often pay for a “static” IP that stays fixed — useful for remote access, mail servers and allow-lists.
How do I hide or change my IP?
A VPN routes your traffic through another server, so sites see that server’s IP instead of yours. If you need a static business IP, secure remote access, or help locking down who can reach your systems, that’s squarely our area.
