How it works

How to check your IP and location

This tool shows your public IP address, ISP, and estimated geographic location as seen by the internet. Click Refresh to fetch the latest data from an external IP geolocation service. The tool uses a free API to look up your IP and display city, region, country, coordinates, and timezone information.

What the data means

Public IP address

Your public IP is the address the rest of the internet sees when you connect to any website or service. It is assigned by your ISP and shared by all devices on your home network through your router's NAT (Network Address Translation). Every device on your local network has a private IP that is not visible to the internet.

ISP and organization

The ISP field shows your internet service provider. The organization field may show the same company or a parent organization. Some business connections show the company name instead of the ISP.

Location accuracy

IP-based location is usually accurate to the city level but rarely to a specific address. Your actual coordinates could be anywhere in your ISP's regional service area, which may be miles from your home. For precise location, websites must ask permission to use your device's GPS.

Understanding WebRTC and IP leaks

WebRTC is a browser feature used for video calls and peer-to-peer connections. It can sometimes reveal your local and public IP addresses even when you are using a VPN. Some browsers expose both your VPN IP and your real IP through WebRTC, which is called an IP leak. You can test for this using the DNS Leak Test tool, and prevent it with browser extensions or by disabling WebRTC in your browser settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does IP geolocation work? expand_more
IP geolocation uses databases that map IP address ranges to physical locations. These databases are built from ISP registration data, network routing information, and user-contributed location data. Accuracy varies — city-level is common, street-level is rare. Your ISP assigns your IP based on their regional infrastructure, not your exact address.
Can my precise location be found from my IP? expand_more
In most cases, IP geolocation only identifies your general region — usually the city or metro area where your ISP is based. It cannot pinpoint your exact street address. For precise location, websites need your explicit permission to use GPS or Wi-Fi positioning via the Geolocation API.
What changes when I use a VPN? expand_more
A VPN routes your traffic through a server in another location, replacing your real public IP with the VPN server's IP. Websites and tools like this one will see the VPN server's location instead of yours. However, WebRTC can sometimes leak your real IP if not properly configured — this is called an IP leak.
Does my IP address change? expand_more
Most ISPs assign dynamic IP addresses that change periodically — when your router reboots, after a lease timeout (often 24 hours), or when the ISP reconfigures their network. Static IPs are usually only available on business plans or for an extra fee.
How do ISPs assign IP addresses? expand_more
ISPs own blocks of IP addresses allocated by regional internet registries. When you connect, your router uses DHCP to request an IP from the ISP's pool. The ISP records which IP was assigned to which customer at any given time, which is how authorities can trace activity back to a specific account.
