What is my IP address
Your address is already on this page — both versions of it, the network it belongs to, and the details your browser hands to every site you open. Nothing here needs an account and nothing about this lookup is kept.
An address identifies a connection, not a person
The address below belongs to whoever operates the network you are on, which for most people is their internet provider. It can usually be placed in a city or a region, often wrongly, and it cannot be turned into a name or a street by us or by anyone else without a legal order served on that provider. Anything sold as a precise personal location from an address alone is a guess with a price on it.
What a site can see beyond the address
Your browser volunteers a great deal on every request: its user agent, your language, your time zone, your screen dimensions and a long tail of capability flags. Individually those are unremarkable and together they are often distinctive enough to recognise you again without any cookie at all. The panel here shows you the same set any site receives.
And what it cannot
None of this reaches inside your machine. A page cannot read your files, your other tabs, your local network or anything you have not handed it. The gap between what a site genuinely knows and what people fear it knows is most of why this page exists.
Questions
What is my IP address?
It is on the home page before you click anything — both the IPv4 and the IPv6 your browser reached us on, plus the network they belong to. That address is what every site you visit sees; it identifies a connection, not a person.
Can someone find my home address from my IP?
No. An IP maps to whoever operates the network — usually your internet provider, and usually only to the level of a city or a region, often wrongly. Anyone selling a precise location from an address alone is selling a guess. The organisation that could connect an address to a subscriber is the provider, and they need a legal order.
Why does my IP change?
Most home connections get a dynamic address that the provider can reassign — on a reboot, on a lease expiry, or whenever it suits them. Mobile connections change more often still, and a VPN replaces it entirely for as long as it is connected.
What can a website see about me?
Your address, and whatever your browser volunteers: its user agent, language, screen size, time zone and a long list of capability flags. Together those are often distinctive enough to recognise a returning visitor without a cookie. The home page shows you what we can see, which is what any site can see.
