Tool guide
How to use What Is My IP Address?
What Is My IP Address? gives you a focused way to handle one small task quickly. Show the public IP address visible to this website. It is free to use, requires no login, and is built for quick checks when you need a practical result.
Example
For example, use What Is My IP Address? while checking an API response, preparing a test value, inspecting a URL, or cleaning up code-adjacent text.
Good to know
Most developer utilities run in your browser. Avoid pasting secrets, API keys, passwords, or private production data into any online tool.
How it works
The IP address tool asks the server which client IP address is visible for your request. It checks common forwarding headers first, then falls back to the server connection address when available.
Visible IP = forwarded client IP header or server client address.
Practical examples
- Confirm whether a VPN is changing your visible address.
- Check whether a network appears as IPv4 or IPv6.
- Copy your current public IP for an allowlist, support ticket, or hosting control panel.
Common mistakes
- Do not assume the visible IP is your device address; routers, VPNs, proxies, and carriers can sit in between.
- Do not publish your IP address publicly unless you understand the privacy and security implications.
Questions
Why does my IP change?
Your ISP, VPN, mobile carrier, or network may assign different public IP addresses over time.
Is this my private local IP?
No. This shows the address visible to this website, not usually your local 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x address.
Can a VPN affect this result?
Yes. With a VPN enabled, the visible IP is usually the VPN exit server rather than your direct connection.
