What is my IP address?

The public address this request arrived from, and what public registries say about the network it belongs to.

Your public IP address

ASN

Network operator
AMAZON-02 - Amazon.com, Inc.

Registered country of the address block
US

The country is where the address block is registered, not a measurement of where you are.

Your address is read from this request to show it to you. It is not stored, not added to any statistics and not shared.

What an IP address reveals, and what it does not

Every site you visit sees the public address of your connection: it has to, in order to answer. From that address anyone can look up which network operator announces it, and the country the block was registered in. That is what this page shows you, using the same public sources as the IP lookup tool: Team Cymru for the ASN and the regional internet registries through RDAP.

It does not reveal your name, your street address or your exact location. City-level "geolocation" comes from commercial databases that guess, often wrongly, and this page does not use them. Behind carrier-grade NAT, a company network or a VPN, the address belongs to that gateway and is shared by many people.

IPv4 and IPv6

Many connections have both. Which one you see here depends on which protocol your browser chose for this request. An IPv6 address usually identifies your network more precisely than a shared IPv4 address does, because there is no need for address sharing.

FAQ

How do I find my IP address?

This page shows the public one. In a terminal, curl -s https://ifconfig.co or dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com does the same. The address shown in your device settings (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x) is the private one inside your network.

Why does my IP address change?

Most home and mobile connections get a dynamic address that the provider can reassign, and mobile networks share a small pool between many users.

Does a VPN hide my IP address?

Sites then see the VPN server's address instead of yours. The VPN provider still sees your real address.

Can someone find my home from my IP address?

Not from public data. The address leads to your provider. Only the provider can link it to a subscriber, normally only under a legal order.
