What is my public IP address?

Your public IP address is the unique address assigned by your internet service provider (ISP) that websites and online services see when you connect to the internet. It is shown at the top of this page as soon as it loads.

Can I change my IP address?

Yes. Restarting your router, contacting your ISP for a new assignment, using a VPN, or switching to another network (mobile hotspot, office Wi‑Fi) can change your public IP address. Refresh this page after any change to see the new value.

Is my IP address private?

An IP address is not completely private. It can reveal approximate location (often city-level), your ISP, and network type — but not your exact home address or name by itself. Treat it as information worth protecting.

Can websites see my IP address?

Yes. Every website and app server you connect to can see your public IP address. That is how they apply security rules, geo restrictions, and rate limits. They do not automatically see your private LAN IP behind a router.

IPv6 is the latest version of the Internet Protocol, designed to replace IPv4 and support vastly more devices. It uses longer addresses (for example 2001:db8::1). This page shows your IPv6 address when your network provides one.

What is the difference between my IP and ipconfig?

Ipconfig on Windows shows private addresses inside your home network (like 192.168.1.5). What is my IP address on this page shows your public IP — the one the rest of the internet uses to reach your connection.
