What is an IP address?

An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is the unique number your network uses to send and receive data on the internet. When you visit a website, your request carries a public IP address so the server knows where to send the reply — which is exactly the address shown above.

IPv4 vs IPv6

IPv4 addresses look like 203.0.113.7 — four numbers, 0–255. There are only ~4.3 billion of them, so the newer IPv6 format (2001:db8::1) was introduced with a vastly larger pool. You'll see whichever your connection used to reach this page.

Public vs private

Your devices at home share one public IP via your router, while each device has a private address (like 192.168.x.x) that never leaves your network. This page can only see your public IP.

Why does my IP change?

Most home connections use dynamic IPs that your ISP rotates periodically. Connecting through a VPN, mobile network or proxy will also change the address the world sees. Hit Check again any time to refresh.

Geolocation is approximate (typically city-level) and comes from a local database — we make no external calls with your IP, and nothing is logged.
