Frequently Asked Questions
What is my IP address?
Your current public IP address is detected automatically and shown above as soon as this page loads. No need to click anything.
Why does my IP show a different city than where I actually am?
ISPs assign IP addresses from regional address pools that don't always map to your exact city. It's normal to see the nearest major city or your ISP's regional hub instead of your precise location.
Is my IP address public information?
Yes, any website or service you connect to can see your public IP address. It reveals your approximate location and ISP, but not your name or street address.
Can I look up someone else's IP address?
Yes, paste any IPv4 or IPv6 address into the box above. You'll get the same geolocation, ISP, ASN, and reputation data shown for your own IP.
What's the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses (e.g. 8.8.8.8) are the older, shorter format with a limited address space. IPv6 addresses (e.g. 2606:4700:4700::1111) are longer and were introduced because the world ran out of available IPv4 addresses. This tool supports looking up both.
