Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about What Is My IP.
It's shown at the top of this page. Your public IP address is the address websites see when you visit them, given to you by your internet provider.
IPv4 is the older format (like 203.0.113.42). IPv6 is newer and much longer (like 2001:db8::1). Many networks now have both.
Your internet provider or network may not support IPv6 yet. That's normal and doesn't affect browsing.
No. IP location is approximate — usually the city of your provider's network equipment, which can be many kilometres away.
Not from the IP alone. Only your internet provider can link it to your account, usually only with a legal request.
Use a trusted VPN, restart your router (for dynamic IPs), or switch networks. A VPN shows the VPN server's IP instead of yours.
No. The page shows your IP to you and doesn't save it. To show IPv4 and IPv6 together, your browser also asks the free ipify service.
