What Is My IP?
Find your public IP address, network provider, approximate location, and browser details instantly.
Your public IP address
See the address and network information visible to websites.
What your IP address reveals
Your public IP identifies your internet connection so online services can send data back to you. It can indicate your provider, network, country, region, and an approximate city, but it does not reveal your exact street address or GPS location.
Public IP vs. private IP
This tool shows the public IPv4 or IPv6 address visible on the internet. Devices inside your home or office usually also have a private address, such as 192.168.x.x, used only within that local network. A router commonly shares one public IPv4 address among several devices.
Why your MAC address is not shown
MAC addresses identify network interfaces on a local link. Routers do not forward them across the internet, and browsers deliberately prevent websites from reading them. A website claiming to find your MAC address remotely cannot do so through standard web technology.
VPNs, proxies, and IP accuracy
When a VPN or proxy is active, websites normally see that service's public IP instead of the address assigned directly by your provider. Mobile carriers and corporate networks may also route traffic through another city, so IP geolocation should always be treated as an estimate.
Frequently asked questions
What is my public IP address?
Your public IP address is the internet-facing address assigned to your connection by an internet service provider or VPN. It appears at the top of this tool.
Can a website find my MAC address?
No. A MAC address is used only on your local network and is not sent across the internet. Modern browsers do not expose it to websites for privacy and security reasons.
Is the IP location exact?
No. IP geolocation is an estimate and may identify your internet provider or a nearby city rather than your physical location.
Why does my IP address change?
Many providers assign dynamic addresses that can change after reconnecting. A VPN, proxy, mobile network, or a different Wi-Fi network can also change the public IP shown here.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 uses shorter numeric addresses and has a limited address space. IPv6 uses longer hexadecimal addresses and provides vastly more unique addresses.
