My IP Address

What My IP Address does

This tool instantly looks up and displays your public IP address — the address your device presents to the wider internet — no signup or extra steps required.

How to use it

1. Click Find My IP Address.
2. Your public IP address is displayed instantly.

Common uses

• Checking your public IP address for a router, firewall, or remote access configuration.
• Verifying a VPN is actually masking your real IP address.
• Providing your IP address to a support technician diagnosing a connection issue.
• Whitelisting your current IP address for access to a restricted server or service.
• Confirming your ISP-assigned IP address changed after a router reset.

Good to know

Your public IP address is the one visible to external websites and services, and is different from your device's local network IP (typically something like 192.168.x.x) — this tool shows the public-facing address, which is what you need for most remote access or firewall configuration tasks.

The distinction between public and private IP addresses exists because of a networking technique called NAT (Network Address Translation), which lets many devices on a home or office network share a single public IP address when communicating with the wider internet — your router handles the translation invisibly, which is why every device on your home WiFi typically shows the same public IP address despite having different local addresses.
