What is an IP address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is the unique number that identifies your device on the internet. It is how data knows where to go, like a return address for your online traffic, and every device that connects to a network has one. Read the full guide
Public vs private IP
Your public IP is the address the internet sees, assigned by your ISP and shared by every device behind your router. A private IP (such as 192.168.x.x) is only used inside your local network and is not visible online. The address shown above is your public IP.
IPv4 vs IPv6
IPv4 is the original 32-bit format (e.g. 192.0.2.1) with about 4.3 billion addresses. IPv6 is the newer 128-bit format (e.g. 2001:db8::1) created because the world ran out of IPv4 addresses. Many connections now speak both at once: 0.3% of recent visits to this site arrived over IPv6.
How to find your IP address
The address above is your public IP. To find the local IP your router assigned to a specific device, or your router's own address, follow the step-by-step guide for your platform:
Is it safe to share your IP?
For most people, yes. Your public IP is exposed to every website you visit by design. It can reveal your approximate location and ISP, but not your name or home address. If you want to mask it, a VPN or proxy routes your traffic through a different address.
We never log, store, or sell your IP address. Geolocation runs locally against an offline database, so your address is never sent to a third-party service. We keep only anonymous aggregate counters: daily tallies with no IP addresses in them (see the privacy policy).
Frequently asked questions
What is an IP address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is the unique number that identifies your device on the internet, like a return address for your online traffic. Our "What is an IP address?" guide explains how they work in depth.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 is the original 32-bit format (about 4.3 billion addresses); IPv6 is the newer 128-bit format created because IPv4 ran out. See our full IPv4 vs IPv6 comparison for the details.
What is the difference between a public and a private IP address?
Your public IP is what the internet sees; a private IP (like 192.168.x.x) only exists inside your local network. This page shows your public IP. Our public vs private IP guide covers the rest.
Can someone find my exact location from my IP address?
No. An IP address only reveals your approximate area, usually your city or region and your ISP, not your street address or your name. IP geolocation is an estimate and is often off by miles.
Is it safe to share my IP address?
For most people, yes. Your public IP is exposed to every website you visit by design. It can reveal your rough location and ISP, but not your identity. If you want to hide it, a VPN or proxy routes your traffic through a different address.
Do you log or store my IP address?
No. We detect your IP to show it to you and then discard it. We never log, store, or sell it. Geolocation runs locally against an offline database, so your address is never sent to a third-party service. The only thing we keep are anonymous aggregate counters (plain daily tallies such as the share of visitors on IPv6), which contain no IP addresses at all.
