About this tool
See the public IP your internet connection is using right now. It appears the moment the page loads, ready to copy — no software, no sign-up.
What is shown
The number displayed is the public identifier websites see when you connect. If a reverse-DNS name is published for it, that hostname appears underneath, which often tells you which provider or network you are on.
IPv4 and IPv6
IPv4 looks like 192.0.2.1; the newer IPv6 format looks like 2001:db8::1. Which one you see depends on your provider and network.
When you might need it
- Allowing your connection through a firewall or server whitelist
- Setting up remote desktop, a game server or a camera
- Giving support staff the details they ask for
- Checking whether a VPN or proxy is active
Public vs private
Your router has one public identifier on the internet, while the devices at home use private ones such as 192.168.1.10 on the local network. This page shows the public one; private numbers are found in your device or router settings.
Good to know
- The value can change when your router restarts or you switch to mobile data.
- VPNs and proxies show their own server instead of yours.
- It reveals only a rough region, never a street location.
A worked example
A remote worker cannot connect to the company's file server. IT asks for the public IP so they can add it to the firewall allow-list. Opening this page and clicking Copy gives the exact value in seconds, and access works a minute later.
Why it might differ from your device settings
Your laptop's network settings show a private value given by your router. Websites see the router's public value instead, which is what this page displays. If you use a VPN, sites see the VPN server's value.
Dynamic vs static
- Dynamic – changes from time to time; standard for most home and mobile plans.
- Static – stays the same; often offered for businesses and servers, sometimes for an extra fee.
Privacy tips
- Websites always see your public value; it is needed to send pages back to you.
- A VPN hides it from the sites you visit, though the VPN provider can still see it.
- Your provider assigns it, so only they can link it to your account.

IPv4 vs IPv6 in more detail
IPv4 has about four billion possible values, which the internet has largely run out of. IPv6 offers vastly more and is gradually replacing it. Many connections now have both; websites see whichever your device uses for that visit.
