Frequently Asked Questions

What is my IP address?

Your IP address is a unique number assigned by your Internet Service Provider. It identifies your device on the internet and can reveal your approximate location, ISP, and connection type. The tool above shows your current public IP.

Can websites see my IP address?

Yes. Every website sees your public IP — it's required for the connection. Your IP reveals your approximate city, ISP, and whether you're using a VPN.

Does a VPN hide my IP address?

A working VPN replaces your IP with the VPN server's IP. If this tool shows your home ISP while your VPN is active, it may not be working. Also check for DNS leaks and WebRTC leaks.

What's the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

IPv4 looks like 192.168.1.1 (four number groups). IPv6 is longer, like 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334. IPv6 was created because IPv4 addresses are running out. Some VPNs don't tunnel IPv6, causing leaks.

Is my IP address permanent?

Most residential connections use dynamic IPs that change periodically. Business connections often have static IPs. Your IP changes when you switch networks or use a VPN.
