How to find your IP address

  1. Open this page

    Your public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are detected automatically. Click either address to copy it.

  2. Check the details

    See your ISP or organisation, ASN, approximate city and timezone, and a map. Switch between IPv4 and IPv6 details.

  3. Look up another IP

    Open Look up IP and paste any public IPv4 or IPv6 address — useful for checking a server, a log entry or a suspicious login.

Public vs private IP addresses

Your public IP is the address websites see when you connect — assigned by your internet provider, mobile carrier or VPN. Devices on your home or office network use private IPs such as 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x or 172.16–31.x.x, which a router translates (NAT) to the shared public address.

IPv4 vs IPv6

IPv4 addresses look like 203.0.113.42 and there are only about 4.3 billion of them. IPv6 addresses like 2001:db8::1 are 128-bit, effectively unlimited, and usually unique per device. Many networks are dual-stack; if IPv6 shows as unavailable, your network or ISP doesn’t provide it end to end.

How accurate is IP location?

Geo-IP data comes from registry records and network measurements, not GPS. Country is usually right; city can be off by tens of kilometres and often points to your ISP’s network hub. VPNs, mobile networks and corporate proxies show the location of their exit point.

Find your IP from the command line

curl -4 icanhazip.com      # public IPv4
curl -6 icanhazip.com      # public IPv6
ipconfig                   # local IPs on Windows
ip addr / ifconfig         # local IPs on Linux / macOS

Frequently asked questions

What is my public IP address?

It’s the address shown at the top of this page — the one the internet sees for your connection. It’s assigned by your ISP (or VPN) and may change when your router reconnects.

Why don’t I see an IPv6 address?

Your network, router or ISP doesn’t provide IPv6 connectivity end to end. Many networks are still IPv4-only, which is fine for everyday browsing.

Can someone find my home from my IP?

Not precisely. Public geo-IP data usually resolves only to a city or region and often to your provider’s network centre. Only your ISP can link an IP to a subscriber, typically with a legal request.

What is an ASN?

An Autonomous System Number identifies a network that routes its own IP ranges on the internet — for example AS15169 is Google and AS13335 is Cloudflare. It tells you which organisation operates the network an IP belongs to.

Which services does this page contact?

Your browser asks icanhazip.com for your IPv4/IPv6 address, ipapi.co (or ipwho.is as a fallback) for geo details, and OpenStreetMap for the map. Each provider sees the IP being looked up. See the privacy page.
