What Is My IP Address?
Check your current public IP address, IP version, approximate location, network provider, and timezone in one place.
Key takeaways
- Your public IP is the address websites and online services see for your connection.
- Approximate location and provider data can help with troubleshooting, whitelisting, and remote access checks.
- Residential IP addresses often change unless you are paying for a static IP service.

Approximate location
Privacy note
IP-based geolocation is approximate. It usually points to the area or network exit location used by your provider, not necessarily your exact street address.
How this lookup works
- Your browser calls a server-side lookup route, so provider configuration stays off the frontend.
- The lookup result is based on your current public-facing IP, not your local home network address.
- Results are cached briefly and refreshed on demand to keep the page responsive.
How should you use this IP result?
If you are configuring remote access, allowlists, or firewall rules, use the public IP shown here rather than a local network address such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x.
If the public IP changes often, your provider is likely assigning a dynamic address. In that case, dynamic DNS or a static IP add-on may be a better fit for stable access.

FAQ
IP address questions
Is this my public IP address?
Yes. The tool shows the public-facing IP address that websites and external services see for your connection.
Why is the location only approximate?
IP-based location usually points to the provider area or network exit point tied to your public IP, not your precise physical address.
Why can my IP address change?
Most home internet services use dynamic IP addresses, so the public address can change when your connection resets or your provider updates the lease.
