Detecting your IP address...

ℹ️What is an IP Address?

An **IP (Internet Protocol) address** is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network. It serves two main functions: identifying the host or network interface and providing the location of the device in the network.

🌍What does this tool reveal?

Our tool analyzes your connection to reveal your **Public IP Address** (visible to websites), **Internet Service Provider (ISP)**, and approximate **Geographic Location** (City, Region, Country) based on global databases.

IPv4 vs IPv6

IPv4 (Legacy)

The fourth version of IP, using 32-bit addresses (e.g., `192.168.1.1`). It supports about 4.3 billion unique addresses, which have largely been exhausted due to the internet's growth.

IPv6 (Modern)

The newest version, using 128-bit addresses (e.g., `2001:0db8::`). It provides a vastly larger address space to accommodate the exploding number of connected devices (IoT, mobile, etc.).

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my location distinct from my real physical location?

IP geolocation is an approximation. It often reflects the location of your ISP's data center or switching station rather than your exact house. Mobile networks, especially, can show locations hundreds of miles away.

Is my IP address permanent?

Not usually. Most residential connections use **Dynamic IPs**, which change periodically or when you restart your router. Servers and businesses often use **Static IPs** that remain constant.

Can I hide my IP address?

Yes. Using a **VPN (Virtual Private Network)** or a proxy can mask your real IP address by routing your traffic through a server in a different location.
