This is your public IP address — the address your internet provider assigned to your connection, and what every website you visit can see. The location is an estimate based on your provider's network, not your exact position.

Frequently asked questions

What is my IP address?
Your public IP address is shown at the top of this page. It is the address your internet provider (ISP) has assigned to your connection, and it is what websites and online services see when you connect to them.
Is it dangerous that websites can see my IP address?
Not by itself — every website you visit must see your IP to send data back to you. An IP reveals your approximate location (usually your city) and your ISP, but not your name or exact address. If you want more privacy, a VPN hides your real IP from the sites you visit.
Why is my location not exactly right?
IP geolocation maps your address to your ISP’s registered network, not to your house. It is usually accurate to the city or region, but it can be off — especially on mobile networks or when using a VPN.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses look like 51.174.90.184 and are in short supply. IPv6 addresses are longer (like 2a01:799:...) and exist in practically unlimited numbers. Many connections have both; which one you see here depends on which protocol your browser used to reach us.
Does my IP address change?
Most home connections have a dynamic IP that can change when your router reconnects or after some time. Businesses often pay for a static IP that never changes. See our guide on static vs dynamic IPs for details.
How do I hide or change my IP address?
The most common options are a VPN (encrypts traffic and replaces your IP), a proxy, or the Tor network. Restarting your router sometimes gives you a new dynamic IP. Read our guide on hiding your IP for a full comparison.
