What is my IP address?

Your public IP address is how the internet routes traffic back to you. This page shows it instantly — along with your network (ISP and AS number), the approximate city it maps to, your timezone with a live clock, and a map. It reads Cloudflare's edge geolocation, stores nothing, and is honest that IP location is only city-level.

IP geolocation is approximate — it usually resolves to your city or your ISP's regional hub, not your exact address. For your real position, use precise GPS location instead.

What is a public IP address?

A public IP address is the unique number your internet provider assigns to your connection so servers can send data back to you. It is visible to every website you visit. It comes in two forms — IPv4 (e.g. 203.0.113.42) and the newer IPv6 (e.g. 2001:db8::1) — and can change over time.

How to find your IP address

  1. Open this page — your public IP appears at the top automatically, ready to copy.
  2. Check the version chip to see whether you're connecting over IPv4 or IPv6.
  3. Read your network (ISP and AS number), approximate city, timezone and map below.
  4. To geolocate a different address instead, use the IP lookup tool.

How accurate is IP geolocation?

IP location is approximate. It typically pinpoints your city or your ISP's regional hub — often miles from where you actually are — and a VPN or mobile network can place you in another city entirely. It is good for rough region detection, not for finding an exact spot. For real precision, use device GPS via my location or check your coordinates.

Is checking my IP private?

Yes. We read your IP and rough geolocation from Cloudflare's edge network at the moment you load the page and display them in your browser. Nothing is logged, stored, or shared. Every website you visit can already see your public IP — this page just shows you what yours is.

Frequently asked questions

What is my IP address right now?

Your current public IP is shown at the top of this page, with a chip telling you whether it's IPv4 or IPv6 and a one-tap copy button. It's detected automatically from your connection the moment the page loads — no signup, no waiting.

What's the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

IPv4 addresses look like 203.0.113.42 and are running out worldwide. IPv6 addresses are longer (e.g. 2001:db8::1) and provide vastly more space. Many networks use both. The version chip on this page shows which protocol your connection is currently using.

Why is my IP location wrong?

IP geolocation is approximate and maps to your ISP's network, so it often shows a nearby city or hub rather than your exact address. VPNs, proxies and mobile carriers shift it further. For accurate positioning, use precise GPS location instead.

What is an ISP and ASN?

Your ISP is the company providing your internet (e.g. Comcast or Vodafone). The ASN (Autonomous System Number, like AS7922) identifies that provider's network on the internet. Both appear in the Network field so you can see who routes your traffic.

Can I look up someone else's IP address?

This page only detects your own connection. To geolocate any other address — to check a server, an email header or a suspicious login — use the IP lookup tool, which returns the city, ISP and map for the IP you enter.

Is this IP checker free?

Yes, completely free with no account required. Your IP and approximate location are read at the edge and shown in your browser — nothing is stored or shared. You can also explore your timezone and elevation.
