What Is My IP?
Your own public IP, location, ISP/ASN details and reverse DNS record.
What is What Is My IP??
This tool shows the public IP you reach the internet from, plus everything known about it: location, ISP, autonomous system, reverse DNS and whether your connection has IPv6.
The address shown is the one visible from outside your NAT, not the private address on your LAN. It's the value to use when writing a remote-access rule, allowlisting an IP on a firewall, or telling a service where you're coming from.
On a VPN or corporate proxy you'll see that infrastructure's address instead — the quickest way to confirm the VPN is actually carrying your traffic.
Frequently Asked Questions
8 questionsWhy is the shown IP different from what I expected?
You see the source IP of the connection that reached our server. Behind a VPN, corporate proxy, mobile CGNAT or a layer like Cloudflare, that is the egress address of the intermediary, not your device. The tool also reports which header the address came from.
What does the "server egress IP" warning mean?
When a request arrives without a client-IP header (or from loopback) the address cannot be determined, so the app's own egress address is shown and clearly flagged. That is normal in local development; in production it means your reverse proxy is not sending X-Forwarded-For.
Why is my reverse DNS (PTR) empty?
PTR records are set by the owner of the IP block — your ISP or cloud provider. Residential and mobile connections usually get a generic name or none at all. A failed lookup and a genuinely absent record are different things, and the tool reports them separately.
Why do the browser and IP time zones differ?
That is a signal, not an error: behind a VPN or proxy the IP's geography and your device's local time zone diverge. Some services treat that gap as a fraud indicator, which is why we surface the comparison as a neutral fact.
Why does my IP change from time to time?
Most home connections get a dynamic address: you get a new one when the modem restarts or the lease expires. Setups that need stability (VPN server, firewall allowlist) require a static IP from your ISP.
I have IPv6 — is that good?
Yes. IPv6 runs dual-stack alongside IPv4 and lets you reach most large services directly. Since many firewall rules were written for IPv4 only, review your rules for both protocols once IPv6 is active.
Who can see this address?
Every server you connect to. Your public IP isn't a secret; the internet needs it to work. The real exposure is that it allows rough location inference — which is the main reason people use a VPN.
Why doesn't my local address (192.168.x.x) appear?
Because it's only meaningful inside your own network and sits behind NAT. This tool shows the address servers see; your local one is in your operating system's network settings.
