Finding your address before a call
Opening the page with no typing needed
Your public IP address, for example 203.0.113.25, with its reverse DNS name if one exists. The address shown is a documentation example and will differ for you.
This is the address websites see when you connect, so it can differ on mobile data and home Wi-Fi.
Checking whether a VPN is active
Opening the page while a VPN is connected
A public IP address that belongs to the VPN provider, not your home or mobile connection, with a different location from your own.
A VPN or proxy shows that service's address instead of yours, which is the expected result when it is switched on.
Informazioni su What Is My IP
What is my IP is one of the most common questions people ask when a site blocks them, a router needs checking or a VPN should be confirmed. Your public IP address is the address that websites and services see when your traffic leaves your network. This tool shows that address, whether it is IPv4 or IPv6, and the reverse DNS name linked to it, if one exists.
The address you see depends on the network you are using, not on the computer or phone in front of you. Home connections usually share one public address through a router, and mobile networks often assign addresses that change over time. If you use a VPN, the address shown is the VPN's, and a proxy or corporate network can show its own address too.

What is the difference between a public IP and the address my router gives me?
Your public IP address is the one websites see on the wider internet, and your internet provider assigns it to your network. Your router also gives each connected computer or phone an internal address, which is only used within your own network. This tool shows the public address, because that is what external services use to identify your connection.
Does my IP address show my exact location?
An IP address gives only an approximate idea of where a connection appears to be, and it does not reveal a precise street address. Location data linked to an IP can be out of date or can point to a provider's regional hub. Mobile connections and VPNs can make the result differ a lot from where you physically are.
Why does my IP address keep changing?
Many internet providers assign dynamic addresses, which can change when your router reconnects or after a set lease period. Mobile networks also reassign addresses often. Some providers offer a fixed static address for an extra charge, which keeps the same address for remote access or hosting.
Why does my IP show a VPN server instead of my own connection?
When you connect through a VPN, websites see the address of the VPN server rather than your home or mobile connection. The location shown will match that server, which is the intended effect of a VPN. If the result does not match the server you chose, disconnect and check again, as an app or split tunnel may route traffic differently.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses are written as four numbers separated by dots, such as 203.0.113.10. IPv6 addresses are longer and written as groups of hexadecimal digits separated by colons. IPv6 was developed because IPv4 addresses were running short, and it offers a far larger pool. This tool reports which version your connection uses.
