What Is My IP

How this works

Your IP address comes from the network request that loaded this page, read on our server for just long enough to send it back to you — it's never saved. The browser and device details below it are read locally by your browser and never transmitted anywhere.

FAQ

Do you store or log my IP address?

No. Your IP is read from the request that loads this page and sent straight back to your browser — it's never written to a database or a log file we keep.

Why does this show a different IP than another site?

If you're on a VPN, corporate network, or mobile carrier, the address shown here is whatever your connection currently routes through — the same as any other IP lookup would see. It can change between visits.

Why does it show 127.0.0.1 or ::1?

That's a local-machine address, not a public IP — it shows up when you run the site yourself (e.g. npm run dev or next start) without a real reverse proxy in front of it, so there's no actual internet connection for it to read. Once the site is deployed behind a normal host, your real public IP appears here instead.

What's the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

IPv4 addresses look like 203.0.113.42; IPv6 addresses are longer and use colons, like 2001:db8::1. Most home connections still get an IPv4 address, sometimes alongside an IPv6 one — which one you see depends on your ISP and device.

Where does the browser and device info come from?

It's read directly from your browser (user agent, screen, time zone) after the page loads — it never leaves your device or gets sent to us.
