Public vs Private IP
- Your public IP is assigned by your internet service provider (ISP) and is shared by every device on your network — it is what websites and servers see.
- Your private IP is the internal address your router gives each device (like
192.168.x.x) and stays inside your home or office network. This tool shows only your public IP.
Why Your IP Address Changes
Most home connections use dynamic IP addresses that rotate over time or when your router reconnects. You will also see a different IP if you:
- Connect through a VPN or proxy.
- Switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data.
- Use a different network, like at a cafe or office.
A Note on Privacy
This tool fetches your IP from a public lookup service purely to display it back to you. Nothing is logged or saved on the page. If a privacy extension, firewall or ad-blocker blocks the lookup, the tool will let you know — disabling it for this page or switching networks usually fixes it. Knowing your public IP is handy for setting up remote access, troubleshooting connections, or confirming that a VPN is actually working.
Frequently asked questions
How does this tool find my IP address?+
It makes a request from your browser to a free public IP-lookup service, which returns the public IP address your connection is using. The page then displays it and never stores or logs it.
What is the difference between a public and private IP address?+
Your public IP is the address the internet sees, assigned by your ISP and shared by all devices on your network. A private IP is the internal address your router gives each device on your local network and is not shown here.
Why is my IP shown as IPv4 or IPv6?+
IPv4 addresses look like 203.0.113.5, while newer IPv6 addresses are longer and contain colons. The tool detects which version your connection reports and labels it accordingly.
Why does my IP address sometimes change?+
Many ISPs assign dynamic IP addresses that change periodically or when you reconnect. Using a VPN, mobile data, or a different network will also change the public IP shown.
Why can't the tool find my IP?+
A privacy extension, ad-blocker, strict firewall or VPN may block the request to the lookup service. Disabling the blocker for this page or trying a different network usually resolves it.
