What Is an IP Address?

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to a network. Think of it as your device's home address on the internet — it tells other computers where to send data so it reaches you.

There are two versions in use today: IPv4 (e.g. 203.0.113.42) which uses 32-bit numbers, and IPv6 (e.g. 2001:0db8::1) which uses 128-bit numbers to accommodate the billions of connected devices.

Public vs. Private IP

The IP shown above is your public IP — what the internet sees. Your devices at home also have private IPs (like 192.168.x.x) assigned by your router, invisible to the outside world.

Privacy & Security
Websites and advertisers log your IP. Use a VPN to mask it and protect your identity online.

Geo-restrictions
Streaming services use your IP to determine what content is available in your region.

Remote Access
IT teams use public IPs to configure remote desktop access, servers, and port forwarding.

Network Troubleshooting
Knowing your public IP helps diagnose connectivity issues and verify VPN connections.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is my IP address right now?
+
Your current public IP address is shown at the top of this page. It is assigned by your ISP and may change if you reconnect or switch networks. Click "Copy IP" to copy it to your clipboard.
Can I look up any IP address?
+
Yes. Type any valid IPv4 or IPv6 address in the search box at the top and click LOOKUP. You will see the location, ASN, ISP, and coordinates associated with that IP address.
Why does my IP location show the wrong city?
+
IP geolocation is based on your ISP's registered location, not your exact physical location. ISPs often route traffic through regional data centers, which can show a different city. It is usually accurate to the country or region level.
Can someone find my home address from my IP?
+
No. An IP address reveals your approximate city and ISP, but not your exact street address. Only your ISP has the records to link an IP to a specific account, and they only share this with authorities under legal process.
What is an ASN (Autonomous System Number)?
+
An ASN is a unique identifier assigned to each autonomous system โ€” a collection of IP addresses managed by a single organization such as an ISP or large company. ASNs are used by routers to exchange routing information across the internet via the BGP protocol. For example, Google's AS number is AS15169.
How do I hide or change my IP address?
+
The most common methods are: (1) A VPN routes your traffic through a server in another location, masking your real IP. (2) Tor browser bounces traffic through multiple relays. (3) A proxy server acts as an intermediary. A VPN is the easiest and most reliable for everyday use.
Does my IP address change?
+
Most home connections use a "dynamic" IP that can change when you restart your router or after inactivity. Businesses often pay for a "static" IP that never changes. Mobile connections change IPs frequently as you move between cell towers.

ABOUT THIS TOOL

What Is My IP Address? โ€” Complete Guide

Your IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to the internet. Think of it as your device's home address on the internet โ€” it tells other servers where to send data when you request a webpage, stream a video, or play an online game.

This tool shows your public IP address โ€” the address visible to the outside world โ€” along with your approximate geographic location, ISP (Internet Service Provider), and ASN (Autonomous System Number).

IPv4 vs IPv6 โ€” What's the Difference?

Most devices have both an IPv4 address (e.g., 192.168.1.1) and an IPv6 address (e.g., 2001:db8::1). IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (about 4 billion total) โ€” a number that was nearly exhausted as internet adoption grew globally. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses, providing effectively unlimited unique addresses for every device on earth.

Why Does My IP Location Look Wrong?

IP geolocation is an estimate based on registration data, not GPS. It typically shows your ISP's nearest regional hub, which may be a different city. VPNs and proxies show the VPN server's location instead of your real one.

Does My IP Address Change?

Most home connections use a dynamic IP โ€” it changes periodically when your router reconnects. Businesses often pay for a static IP that never changes. Mobile data IPs change frequently as you move between cell towers.

What Is an ASN?

An Autonomous System Number (ASN) identifies a network under a single administrative domain โ€” usually an ISP, CDN, or large company. Your ASN reveals which network your connection is routed through.

Can Someone Find My Address from My IP?

No. Your IP reveals city-level location and ISP at best. Your exact physical address is only accessible to your ISP โ€” and only to law enforcement with a legal request. Websites cannot identify you personally from your IP alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I hide my IP address?

Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to route your traffic through a server in another location. The websites you visit will see the VPN server's IP instead of yours. Tor Browser provides even stronger anonymity at the cost of speed.

Why do I have a different IP on mobile vs WiFi?

Your phone gets separate IP addresses for cellular data and WiFi โ€” each connection has its own public IP assigned by the respective network (mobile carrier vs. home ISP).

What is a private IP address?

Private IPs (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x) are used within local networks and are not visible on the internet. Your router assigns these to devices inside your home. This tool shows your public IP โ€” the one facing the internet.
