What is my IP address?

Your public IP is the address other servers on the internet see when your device connects to them. It is assigned by your ISP and typically shared by every device on your local network through NAT. The lookup on this page shows the public IP of the connection reaching our server.

An Autonomous System Number identifies a network operator on the internet (for example AS7018 belongs to AT&T). Every public IP belongs to an ASN, and the ASN is usually the fastest way to know which real-world organization runs the network your IP is on.

IP geolocation is typically accurate to the city or metro area, not to a street address. Accuracy depends on how the ISP assigns IP blocks and how up to date the geolocation database is. Mobile carriers and large ISPs can appear far from where you actually are.

No. An IP address is not a GPS coordinate. It gives an approximate region tied to how the network operator has registered the IP block. This tool does not use browser geolocation and never asks for it.

The lookup provider exposes a proxy indicator that also flags many commercial VPN egress ranges, and a hosting/datacenter indicator that catches most cloud-based VPNs. It does not expose a dedicated VPN flag, so we label the combined signal as "Proxy or VPN" and treat it as an indicator, not a guarantee.

IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses like 108.174.10.10 and is the older, more widely deployed format. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses like 2001:db8::1 and has a much larger address space. Modern ISPs increasingly offer both. This page detects the version from the shape of the IP the lookup returns.

ISPs often own and rebrand smaller network operators, and the geolocation database records whichever legal entity registered the IP block. That is why you might see, for example, a subsidiary name here instead of the consumer brand you pay each month.
