What Is an IP Address?
An IP address (Internet Protocol Address) is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to the internet. Just like a home address, it identifies where to send and receive data on the internet.
The IP shown on this page is your public IP address — the external address assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Multiple devices on the same router share the same public IP.
Public IP vs Private IP
Public IP
The external address assigned by your ISP, visible on the internet. This is the IP shown on this page.
Private IP
The internal address used within your local network (e.g. 192.168.x.x). It cannot be accessed directly from the internet.
What Can Be Determined from an IP Address?
An IP address can reveal your approximate country, region, city, and ISP. However, it cannot reveal your exact home address or personal identity.
IP-based geolocation is generally accurate to the city level, but may differ from your actual physical location. The ISP's server location may be shown instead.
VPN and Your IP Address
When using a VPN (Virtual Private Network), the VPN server's IP address is shown instead of your real IP. This allows you to mask your location or appear to browse from a different country. Proxy servers work the same way.
