My IP — public address and location
Display your public IP address with its approximate location, your internet provider (ISP), your AS number (ASN) and your time zone.
How it works
Your public IP address is the address that every server you visit sees: it identifies your connection on the Internet and changes regularly with most ISPs (DHCP leases).
IP geolocation is approximate: databases associate address blocks with carrier cities, not with your actual location. It can still identify the country, the access provider and the AS number, which is useful for diagnosing a routing problem or checking a VPN.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my displayed location wrong?
IP geolocation places the address block at the carrier level, not your exact position. A VPN, a mobile connection or CGNAT can show another city several hundred kilometres away.
Is my IP enough to identify me?
It identifies your connection at a given moment, not you as a person. It changes often and can be shared (CGNAT, corporate networks).
Why is my IP private (192.168.x.x)?
You are behind a router performing NAT: this address is only valid on your local network. The request then shows your internal configuration.
How do you hide your IP?
A VPN or Tor replaces your public address with the service's address. Conversely, a static IP is often available as an option from your ISP.
