How this IP lookup works
When your browser requests this page, it connects through your ISP (or VPN). Our server records that connection’s source address — your public IPv4 or IPv6 — then looks up public registry data (country, ASN, organization). City-level results are estimates, not GPS.
Browser, screen, plugin, WebRTC, and fingerprint values are computed only in your browser. The Findings section compares those signals (time zone, language, user-agent, platform, WebRTC) so mismatches stand out. Extension detection probes known Chrome extension IDs and is incomplete by design.
What is an IP address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a number that identifies your connection on the internet, much like a postal address tells couriers where to deliver a parcel. When you open a website, that site needs to know where to send the page back, and your public IP address is how it does that.
There are two versions in use today. IPv4 looks like 203.0.113.42 and allows roughly 4.3 billion addresses. IPv6 looks like 2001:db8::1 and uses a much larger 128-bit space, created because IPv4 addresses are running out.
Public IP vs. private IP
Your public IP is the address the outside internet sees. It is assigned by your internet service provider (ISP) or mobile carrier. Your private IP (usually starting with 192.168. or 10.) is only used inside your home or office network, between your router and your devices. Many users also sit behind CGNAT (Carrier-Grade NAT), where one public IP is shared by hundreds of customers. That is common on mobile data and some broadband plans.
What can a website learn from your IP address?
Using public registry and Geo-IP databases, a website can usually estimate:
- Country, region and city of the network your IP is registered to
- ISP / organization that owns the address block
- ASN (Autonomous System Number), which identifies the network operator
- Connection type, such as residential, mobile, or data center
It cannot see your name, home address, phone number, or exact GPS position from the IP alone.
How to read the results on this page
- Location, Region, City, ZIP: An estimate based on where your ISP registered the IP range. It often points to the ISP’s hub rather than your street.
- ISP and Organization: The company that provides your connection.
- AS number: The network identifier (for example, AS17557 is associated with PTCL).
- Time zone: Compared against your browser’s clock. A mismatch can mean a VPN or proxy is in use.
- WebRTC: A browser feature for calls and video. If it shows a different IP than the main result, your VPN or proxy may be leaking.
- Browser, Navigator, Screen: Details your browser shares with every site you visit. They are calculated locally in your browser.
- Findings: Quick consistency checks (time zone, language, user-agent, platform). Green means the signals agree with each other; red means something does not match.
Why can the location be wrong?
IP geolocation is based on database records, not satellites. Locations can be off because of mobile and CGNAT ranges, ISPs routing traffic through a central city, outdated database records, or the use of a VPN or proxy. A result that shows a nearby city, or even the wrong city, does not mean your connection is faulty.
How to protect your privacy online
- Use a reputable VPN if you want to hide your IP from the sites you visit. Avoid free VPNs that earn money from your data.
- Keep your browser updated and review site permissions (location, camera, microphone).
- Use HTTPS websites only.
- Consider a browser or extension with anti-fingerprinting and WebRTC leak protection.
- Remember that a VPN hides your IP but does not make you anonymous. Logins, cookies and fingerprinting can still identify you.
FAQ
What is my IP address?
Your IP address is the public address shown at the top of this page. It is the address websites see when you connect, and it is assigned by your ISP or mobile network.
Is it safe to share my IP address?
Generally yes. Every website you visit already sees it. Sharing it does not give anyone access to your device, but avoid posting it publicly, since it can be used to target your connection with spam or attacks.
Can someone find my exact location from my IP address?
No. An IP shows only an approximate region or city. Exact location requires GPS, Wi-Fi data or your explicit permission through the browser’s Geolocation feature. Law enforcement can ask an ISP to identify a subscriber, but ordinary websites cannot.
Why does my IP address show a different city?
Geo-IP databases map IP blocks to where an ISP registered them, and traffic is often routed through a regional hub. Mobile data and CGNAT make this even less precise.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (about 4.3 billion in total), while IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses, providing a practically unlimited supply. Many networks support both at the same time.
How do I change my IP address?
Restarting your router, waiting for your ISP to renew your lease, switching networks (for example, Wi-Fi to mobile data), or using a VPN or proxy will usually give you a different public IP. Many ISPs assign dynamic IPs that change over time.
Is my IP address static or dynamic?
Most home connections use dynamic IPs, which can change when the router restarts or the lease expires. Static IPs are fixed, usually cost extra, and are mostly used by businesses and servers.
How can I check if my VPN is working?
Turn the VPN on and refresh this page. The IP, country and ISP should match your VPN server, not your real ISP. Also check that the WebRTC IP matches and that the Findings section shows no red mismatches.
What is a WebRTC leak?
WebRTC is a browser technology for real-time calls. In some setups it can reveal your real public IP even while a VPN or proxy is active. If the WebRTC address differs from your main IP, disable WebRTC or use a leak-protection extension.
What is an ASN?
An Autonomous System Number identifies a large network, such as an ISP, a mobile carrier, or a cloud provider, that routes traffic on the internet. Security tools use it to tell whether traffic comes from a home connection or a data center.
What is browser fingerprinting?
It is a technique that combines details such as your browser version, screen size, fonts, canvas and audio rendering to create a fairly unique identifier, even if you clear cookies. The values in the Extended section of this tool show some of these signals.
Does this website store my IP address?
Values on this page are generated for your visit and are not turned into an account. Operational server logs are described in our Privacy Policy.
Why does my time zone not match my IP location?
This usually happens when you use a VPN or proxy, travel with a device set to another time zone, or have wrong clock settings. The Findings section highlights this because it is one of the common signs of a proxy.
Is an IP lookup tool legal?
Yes. Looking up public IP information is legal. The data comes from public registries and Geo-IP databases. It should not be used to harass or track people.
