Your Public IP Address
About this tool
Your public IP address is the address that external servers on the internet see when you make a request. It is assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and shared by all devices on your local network (because of NAT—Network Address Translation). This is different from your private IP address (e.g. 192.168.x.x), which is only visible within your home or office network. This tool shows your current public IP, its approximate geographic location, ASN (Autonomous System Number), and ISP, by querying ipapi.co and ipify.org from your browser.
How to use
- 1Your public IP address is detected automatically when the page loads — no action needed.
- 2The location, ISP, and ASN are shown below the IP address.
- 3If you are using a VPN, the IP shown is that of the VPN server, not your real ISP.
- 4Click the copy icon to copy your IP address to the clipboard.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between a public IP and a private IP?
- A private IP (10.x.x.x, 172.16–31.x.x, or 192.168.x.x) is your device's address within your local network—not routable on the internet. A public IP is assigned by your ISP and is what the outside world sees. Your router uses NAT to let all local devices share one public IP.
- What is IPv4 vs IPv6?
- IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses in dotted-decimal format (e.g. 203.0.113.5)—about 4.3 billion possible addresses, which are now exhausted. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (e.g. 2001:db8::1) and provides a virtually unlimited number. Many ISPs now provide both.
- Why does my IP address location show the wrong city?
- IP geolocation is an estimate based on databases that map IP ranges to regions. It is often accurate to the country and region, but city-level accuracy is lower—especially for mobile networks, VPNs, and when your ISP routes traffic through a distant hub.
- Does my IP address change?
- Most home ISPs assign a dynamic IP that can change when your router reconnects. Some ISPs offer static IPs for an extra fee. Mobile connections often change frequently. If you use a VPN, your apparent public IP is that of the VPN server, not your ISP.
