Your IP lookup is handled by a third-party service to determine your address - see the note below.

What this shows

Your public IP address = the address your internet provider assigns your connection, visible to websites you visit (looked up via a third-party IP service) Browser, OS, screen, and language = read directly from your own browser
Note

Your public IP address usually identifies your general internet connection (often tied to your city or region), not your exact physical location or personal identity.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Your IP address displays automatically when the page loads.
  2. Browser, OS, screen resolution, and language are read directly from your browser, no lookup needed.

What your IP address does and doesn't reveal

An IP address is closer to a mailing address for your internet connection than a personal fingerprint - it can reveal a general geographic area (often your city or internet provider's service region) but not your exact address, name, or identity. If you're using a VPN, this page shows the VPN's IP address instead of your actual connection's address, which is exactly the privacy behavior a VPN is designed to provide.

Note: Looking up your IP address requires a request to a third-party IP lookup service (api.ipify.org) - that's the only way a webpage can determine your public-facing address. No other data on this page is sent anywhere; browser, OS, screen, and language are read locally and displayed only to you.

Common mistakes

Assuming your IP address reveals your exact physical address - it typically only narrows things down to a general city or region, not a precise location.
Sharing your IP address publicly without reason - while not highly sensitive on its own, it's still good practice to avoid posting it in public forums unnecessarily.

Frequently asked questions

Why did my IP address change since last time?

Most home internet connections use a "dynamic" IP address that your provider can periodically reassign, especially after restarting your router - this is normal and doesn't indicate a problem.

Is it safe to share my IP address with someone?

Generally yes for routine purposes like troubleshooting a connection - an IP address alone doesn't grant access to your device or reveal your identity, though it's still sensible to avoid posting it in public places without reason.

Why does this page show a different IP when I use a VPN?

A VPN routes your traffic through its own servers, so websites see the VPN's IP address instead of your actual one - this is the core privacy feature a VPN is designed to provide.
