About this tool
Your public IP address is assigned by your internet provider and is what every website you visit sees. It is shared by everyone on your network and usually reveals your approximate region — the country and city, not your street address.
The other values come from the edge server handling the request: the TLS version securing the connection, the HTTP protocol in use, and the user agent string your browser sends. They are useful when debugging why a site behaves differently on one network than another.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a public IP address?
- The address your router presents to the internet. Every device on your home network shares it, and every site you visit can see it.
- What is the difference between a public and a private IP?
- Private addresses like 192.168.1.5 identify devices inside your own network and are not reachable from the internet. The public address identifies your network as a whole.
- Can someone find my home address from my IP?
- No. An IP maps to a rough geographic area and to your provider. Linking it to a person or street address requires provider records, which need a legal request.
- Why did my IP address change?
- Most home connections use dynamic addresses that change when the router restarts or the provider's lease expires. A static address usually costs extra.
- How do I hide my IP address?
- A VPN or proxy replaces your address with the server's. Reload this page while connected and you will see the VPN's address instead of your own.
