Find your public IP address and what it reveals about you: your internet provider, approximate location, hostname and DNS resolver. It also checks for WebRTC leaks and timezone or language mismatches that can give away a VPN or proxy.
How to check your IP address
- Open the page — your IP address and its details load automatically.
- Review the checks: DNS, WebRTC, timezone and language. Anything amber or red may reveal your real identity or location.
- To look up any other IPv4 or IPv6 address, type it into the IP lookup box.
What is an IP address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is the number that identifies your connection on the internet, like a postal address for data. Every website you visit sees it. It is usually assigned by your internet service provider (ISP) and can reveal your approximate city and country and which provider you use — but not your street address or name.
IPv4 addresses look like 203.0.113.42; newer IPv6 addresses look like 2001:db8::1. Many connections have both.
How accurate is IP location?
IP geolocation is usually accurate to the country level (about 99%) and often to the city or region, but it locates your provider's network equipment, not your device. Mobile networks and VPNs can place you in a different city or country entirely.
What is a WebRTC leak?
WebRTC lets browsers make real-time audio and video calls. To do this, it can discover your public IP address directly through a STUN server, bypassing a proxy or badly configured VPN. If the WebRTC IP differs from the IP shown above, your real address may be leaking.
Fix it by using a VPN with WebRTC leak protection, disabling WebRTC in your browser settings (Firefox: media.peerconnection.enabled), or installing a WebRTC-blocking extension.
Timezone and language mismatch
Websites can compare your browser's timezone and language with the location of your IP address. A browser set to Asia/Dhaka connecting from a German IP is a strong hint that a VPN or proxy is in use. Matching your system timezone to your VPN location reduces this signal.
Frequently asked questions
Can someone find my home address from my IP?
Not from the IP alone. It reveals your ISP and approximate area. Only your ISP can link an IP to a subscriber, usually only with a legal request.
Why does my IP show a different city?
Geolocation reflects where your ISP's network is registered or routed, which may be a nearby city. VPNs and mobile data often show a different location.
Does my IP address change?
Most home connections have a dynamic IP that changes occasionally, for example when your router restarts. Businesses often pay for a static IP.
How do I hide my IP address?
Use a reputable VPN, the Tor Browser, or a proxy. Then re-check this page to make sure WebRTC and DNS are not leaking your real details.
Is this IP check private?
Your IP is looked up in a database on our own server — it is not sent to third parties or stored. The WebRTC check contacts a public STUN server, as any video-call site would.
