Use our IP address lookup tool to instantly check your IP address and view detailed network information. This tool reveals your public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, geographic location, Internet Service Provider (ISP), and other connection details. Whether you're troubleshooting network issues, verifying your VPN connection, or simply curious about what information your IP address reveals, our tool provides comprehensive data in real-time.
This page reads your connection's IPv4 and IPv6 addresses directly from your request headers, then looks up the ISP, ASN, approximate location, and nearest Cloudflare edge server for that address. Your public IP address has to be visible to the server handling your request; that's how internet communication works. My IP Stats uses the request to determine your IP and associated network information. We don't require an account or login to use the tool.
The public IP address shown on this page is the address that websites and online services can see when you connect to the internet. Your devices can also have private IP addresses that are used inside your home, office, or other local network.
Common private IPv4 addresses include addresses beginning with
192.168., 10., and 172.16. through
172.31.. Your router may assign these private addresses to individual devices
while multiple devices share a public IP address when accessing the internet.
IPv4 is the older and still widely used Internet Protocol. IPv4 addresses contain four numerical sections separated by periods.
IPv6 is the newer Internet Protocol and provides a much larger address space. IPv6 addresses use hexadecimal characters separated by colons.
Many modern internet connections support both IPv4 and IPv6. If both are available, you may see different addresses and different network information for each protocol.
There are several practical reasons to check your public IP address. You might need it while troubleshooting a network problem, configuring a server or firewall, checking a VPN connection, or providing your address to technical support.
An IP address can usually be associated with an approximate geographic location, but IP geolocation is not the same as GPS and should not be treated as an exact physical location.
IP geolocation databases may associate an address with an ISP's network infrastructure, a regional network, a mobile carrier gateway, or another location associated with the address range. Because of this, the location shown by an IP lookup can sometimes be different from your actual physical location.
Generally, an IP address does not reveal your exact home or street address to an ordinary person. It can provide information about the network and an approximate geographic area, but IP geolocation is not precise enough to determine an exact physical address.
Your Internet Service Provider can associate a public IP address with a customer account because the provider controls its network and address assignments. That customer information is not normally available publicly simply because someone knows your IP address.
Many residential internet connections use dynamic IP addresses. Your ISP may assign a different public IP address over time or after your connection changes.
Your public IP can also change when you switch networks, move between Wi-Fi and cellular data, connect through a VPN, or use a different internet connection.
The easiest way to check your public IP address is to use an IP lookup tool. When you visit this page, your browser makes a network request that allows the server to identify the public IP address associated with your connection.
My IP Stats displays your public IPv4 and IPv6 information along with network details such as your ISP, approximate location, ASN, and timezone. No account or software installation is required.
My IP Stats reads the public IP address associated with your request and uses network information to identify details such as the ISP, ASN, approximate location, timezone, and Cloudflare edge server handling the request.
The results are retrieved in real time rather than being based on a previously saved result.
If you're checking your IP because you're troubleshooting a network or browser issue, My IP Stats also provides several free diagnostic tools for checking your connection, DNS, network configuration, security, and browser capabilities.
Your public IP address is the address associated with your internet connection that websites and online services can see. The public IP shown at the top of this page is the address detected for your current connection.
Your public IP address is used for communication with the internet, while a private IP address is used inside your local network. Your router commonly assigns private addresses such as 192.168.x.x to devices on your network.
IP geolocation is an estimate based on databases that associate IP address ranges with geographic locations. The result may represent your ISP's infrastructure or a nearby city rather than your actual physical location.
No. An IP address can usually provide an approximate location and identify the associated network or ISP, but it does not normally reveal your exact street address.
Some ISPs route IPv6 traffic through different infrastructure or a different regional block than IPv4, so geolocation databases can return a different city or ISP for each. This is normal and is not necessarily a sign of a problem.
It shows which Cloudflare data center is answering your request. If this location is far from you, it can help provide useful information when diagnosing network routing or latency.
