What Is My IP Address?

A free online tool to find your public IP address. Shows your IPv4 address, ISP or organization name, city/region/country location, timezone, GPS coordinates, and connection type (4G/5G/WiFi). Uses ipify and ipapi.co APIs for accurate detection. All data is fetched directly from public APIs — no information is stored or sent to our servers. Perfect for checking your network configuration, verifying VPN connections, and troubleshooting connectivity issues.

Knowing your public IP address is essential for network troubleshooting, privacy verification, and remote access configuration. Yet most people do not know their IP offhand — and finding it usually involves digging through network settings or searching Google for "what is my IP." My IP Address makes this instant: the page automatically detects your public IPv4 address as soon as it loads, with no buttons to click and no forms to fill.

Beyond the IP address itself, the tool provides a complete picture of your network identity. It identifies your ISP or organization name, the city and region your IP is associated with, the country, the timezone, and even GPS coordinates for a rough geographic location. It also shows your connection type — whether you are on WiFi, 4G, 5G, or a wired connection — which is useful for diagnosing network performance issues. All of this information is retrieved from public API sources (ipify and ipapi.co) and is never stored or logged by our servers.

This data is particularly valuable for verifying VPN connections. When you connect to a VPN, your public IP should change to reflect the VPN server's location rather than your actual location. By comparing the IP and location shown in the tool with your expected values, you can instantly confirm whether your VPN is routing traffic correctly. The same approach works for proxy servers, remote desktop gateways, and other network configurations where verifying your outward-facing identity matters.

The tool also serves as a quick network diagnostic. If your internet connection is not working properly, the IP detection confirms whether your device has successfully obtained an IP address from your router. If the page loads and shows an IP, your basic network connectivity is intact — the issue likely lies higher up the stack. This makes it a useful first step in any troubleshooting workflow, especially for support teams guiding users through network configuration steps over the phone or chat.

Real-World Use Cases for My IP Address

VPN Connection Verification

Connect to your VPN, then open this tool. The displayed IP address and location should match the VPN server, not your physical location. If your real city appears, your VPN is leaking your actual IP — check for DNS leaks or toggle the VPN kill switch. This instant verification is faster than checking VPN connection logs or using command-line tools.

Network Troubleshooting

When a user reports that their internet is "down," have them open this tool. If an IP address loads, their device has basic connectivity to the internet — the issue is likely DNS, application-level, or firewall-related. If no IP appears, the problem is at the router or ISP level. This diagnostic triage saves time for IT support teams.

Remote Access Configuration

Before configuring remote desktop, SSH, or a home server, check your public IP here to know which address to connect from externally. If your ISP assigns dynamic IPs (which change periodically), this tool helps you confirm when your IP has changed so you can update your remote access settings accordingly.

Why Use My IP Address?

  • Automatic IP detection on page load
  • ISP, organization, and ASN identification
  • City, region, country, and timezone lookup
  • GPS coordinates and connection type display
  • One-click copy of your IP or all details

Pro Tips for My IP Address

  • 1Bookmark this page on your phone — when someone asks "what is your IP," you can answer instantly instead of digging through network settings menus.
  • 2After connecting to a VPN, reload this page to confirm the IP changed. If it still shows your original IP, the VPN may not be covering all traffic (DNS leak or split tunneling).
  • 3If you see an IPv6 address instead of IPv4, your network is using IPv6. Some tools and services only work with IPv4, so knowing which protocol you are on helps diagnose compatibility issues.
  • 4Note your IP before and after restarting your router. Many ISPs assign dynamic IPs that change on reboot. If you rely on a static IP for remote access, confirm it stayed the same after the restart.

My IP Address — Frequently Asked Questions

Is my IP address stored or logged?

No. The IP detection is done via third-party public APIs (ipify, ipapi.co) which may log requests for rate limiting but do not retain your data long-term. We do not store or log any IP information on our servers.

Can I use this to check if my VPN is working?

Yes. Compare the IP shown here with your real location. If the IP differs from your expected geographic location, your VPN is routing traffic through the remote server.

Does the IP lookup store my searches?

No. The IP lookup API used by this tool does not log queries or store IP histories. Your searches remain private.

Can I look up private IP addresses?

Yes. The tool supports both public and private IP ranges (10.x.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x, 192.168.x.x). Geolocation data is available only for public IPs.

Is My IP Address really free to use?

Yes, My IP Address is completely free with no hidden charges, no usage limits, and no premium tiers. You can use it as often as you need without signing up or providing any personal information.
