Your IP address is the unique identifier that websites see every time you connect to the internet. It reveals your approximate location, your internet service provider, and whether you are using a VPN or proxy. The tool below shows your real IP address and full network details in real time.
Your IP address reveals more than most people realize. Every website you visit logs your IP, which exposes your approximate geographic location, your internet service provider, and in many cases the organization or company you are connecting from.
Advertisers use your IP to serve location-based ads. Streaming services use it to enforce regional content restrictions. Governments use it to block access to websites. Your ISP uses it to monitor your traffic and in some countries is legally required to hand that data to authorities.
Using a VPN replaces your real IP with a server IP, masking your location and ISP. Our tool detects whether the IP shown belongs to a VPN, proxy, hosting provider, or residential ISP so you can verify your VPN is actually working.
There are two versions of IP addresses currently in use on the internet.
