Note: For detailed geolocation data (city, ISP, timezone), external paid services are typically required. This tool shows your public-facing IP address using a free API.

What Is an IP Address Lookup?

An IP address lookup reveals your public Internet Protocol address, which is the unique identifier assigned to your device by your Internet Service Provider. Every device connected to the internet has an IP address that allows it to communicate with servers and other devices across the network. Knowing your IP address is useful for troubleshooting network issues, configuring firewalls, setting up remote access, and verifying VPN connections.

How This Tool Works

This tool makes a simple API request to a free public service that returns your IP address as seen from the internet. The request runs entirely from your browser, and no data is stored on our servers. Your IP address is displayed instantly and can be copied to your clipboard with a single click. This is especially handy when you need to whitelist your IP, report it to a system administrator, or check whether your VPN is working correctly.

Public vs Private IP Addresses

Your public IP address is visible to websites and services you connect to. It is different from your private IP address, which is used within your local network (typically starting with 192.168 or 10.0). Routers use Network Address Translation to map private addresses to a single public IP. This tool shows only your public IP, which is the address the outside world sees when you browse the internet.
