Instant IPv4 and IPv6 Lookup
This tool detects your current address in real time. It works for both IPv4 lookup and IPv6 lookup so you always know which protocol you’re using.
Check Your IP Location
Use our IP location lookup to see the city, region, country, timezone, and ISP associated with your IP. Great for verifying VPNs, testing geo‑restricted apps, or basic troubleshooting.
Why you might need to know your IP
- Set up remote access, port forwarding, or firewalls
- Test VPN, proxy, or privacy tools
- Check game servers and latency by region
- Diagnose network issues with your ISP
What’s an IP address?
Your IP address is a numeric label assigned to your device by your internet provider so it can communicate on the internet. It can be IPv4 or IPv6.

Why your IP “location” is approximate
IP geolocation is based on public ISP and registry data. It usually maps to a nearby city or ISP point‑of‑presence, not your exact address. See IP location lookup for more details.
Common reasons to check your IP
- Port forwarding, remote desktop, and firewall allow‑lists
- Verifying VPN, proxy, or Tor exits
- Troubleshooting ISP routing and latency
- Gaming server selection and NAT‑type checks
- Self‑hosting or configuring DNS
How to hide or change your IP
- VPN: Encrypts traffic and exits via a VPN server.
- Proxy: Routes HTTP/HTTPS through a proxy (less secure than VPN).
- Mobile data / hotspot: Uses your carrier’s network and IP range.
Quick answers
How do I find my public IP?
Why is the map not exact?
It’s based on IP geolocation databases, not GPS. Use IP location for details.
Can I change my IP address?
Yes — switch networks, power‑cycle your modem (dynamic IPs), or use a VPN/proxy which provides a different public IP.
