About this tool
Check the public IP address your browser is using and review the network details commonly needed for VPN checks, firewall requests, and troubleshooting.
What Is My IP is strongest when you need a quick, dependable answer for troubleshooting rather than a full network dashboard. It helps with VPN checks, allowlist requests, remote-access setup, and location sanity checks where the public IP address is the first thing you need.
- Shows your current public IP address and whether it appears as IPv4 or IPv6.
- Loads ISP, organization, approximate location, and time-zone metadata only when you request details.
- Requests the IP from api64.ipify.org, with ipwho.is used only after explicit opt-in for an alternate lookup or optional details.
How to use My IP
Open the page, wait for the public IP lookup, and copy the address you need. Choose Load details only when approximate location, time-zone, or network ownership metadata is useful; treat those optional fields as estimates rather than guaranteed output.
When this tool is useful
- Check whether a VPN, proxy, or network switch changed your public IP.
- Send your current public IP to an admin for firewall, allowlist, or remote-access setup.
- Confirm approximate geolocation and ISP details before testing region-specific behavior.
Practical tips
- Treat city and region data as approximate because IP geolocation is often inferred from provider routing.
- Use the refresh action after changing VPN exit nodes or network environments.
- Share only the fields needed for the troubleshooting task if you are posting the result into tickets or chat.
Examples you can test
Load an example, compare the result with the expected output, then replace it with your own input.
Check current public IP
Example input
Open the tool from a browser
Expected output
Detected public IP address
Useful when configuring allowlists, debugging VPN routing, or checking network changes.
Verify VPN egress
Example input
Connect VPN, then reload the tool
Expected output
Public IP changes to VPN egress address
IP checks help confirm which network a request appears to come from.
Validation checklist
- Do not treat an IP address alone as a stable user identity.
- Re-check after switching VPNs, networks, or proxies.
- Avoid sharing public IP screenshots when privacy matters.
