IP Address Detector

Detect your current public IP address instantly — free and private, no signup required.

Overview

What is an IP address detector?

An IP address detector shows you the public IP address your device is currently broadcasting to the internet — the same address every website, app, and service you connect to can already see.

It's useful for troubleshooting network issues, confirming a VPN connection is active, checking whether your provider has assigned you a new address, or simply finding your IP to share with a support team or allowlist configuration.

Tips

Best practices to keep in mind

A few things worth knowing about what your public IP actually reveals.

Your public IP reveals your approximate location and internet provider to any site you visit — it's not usually sensitive on its own, but avoid posting it publicly alongside other identifying information.
If you're behind a VPN, this tool shows the VPN's exit server address, not your actual connection — that's expected and confirms the VPN is working correctly.
Most home internet connections use a dynamic IP that changes periodically when your router reconnects — don't assume this address stays fixed indefinitely for firewall or allowlist rules.
This shows your IPv4 address as seen from the public internet — it's different from your local network IP (like 192.168.x.x), which only applies inside your home or office network.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Have questions about checking your IP address? Here are the most common ones our users ask.

Is this IP address detector free to use?

Yes, the IP address detector is completely free with no signup, no usage limits, and no hidden charges. It simply reflects back the public IP address your device is already broadcasting to any website you visit, with no account ever required to check it.

Why can't my browser just tell me my own IP address?

A public IP address is assigned by your internet provider and is only visible from outside your own network — your device doesn't inherently know what address the wider internet sees it as. This tool works by asking an external service what IP address the request appears to come from, then displaying that back to you.

Is my public IP address the same as my computer's local IP?

No — your local IP, often something like 192.168.1.5, only identifies your device within your home or office network and is invisible outside it. Your public IP is the single address your entire network shares with the rest of the internet, typically assigned to your router by your internet provider.

Why does my IP address show a VPN's location instead of mine?

If you're connected to a VPN, all your internet traffic routes through the VPN provider's server first, so any site you visit — including this one — sees the VPN server's IP address and location rather than your actual connection. This is the expected and intended behavior of a VPN.

Does this tool store or log the IP addresses it detects?

This tool only displays back the address that's already visible to any website you visit — it doesn't maintain a history or log of your checks. Refreshing the page simply re-fetches the current value without storing previous results anywhere on our side.
