Your IP, plainly explained.

A current browser request lookup of your IPv4/IPv6, ISP, ASN, and approximate location signal. Public IP visibility is normal for websites and is not automatically a leak.

Direct answer

Your IP, plainly explained — the direct answer

What Is My IP shows the public IP and network context visible to this browser request, including version, ASN/provider clues, approximate location, and browser-visible context. IP data alone cannot identify everything about a person or device.

Exposure estimate and receipt limits

IP context matters. Compare before and after VPN or network changes when you are checking routing expectations. Receipt exports use safe categories and remove raw IP address, exact city, and full user-agent values. Read the methodology.

Quick answer

  • Country, approximate city, ISP — yes, visible to every site you visit
  • Your name, exact home address, what you type — no
  • VPN connected? Sites usually see the VPN exit IP for browser traffic routed through that VPN
  • Mobile/CGNAT can shift cities by hundreds of km — that's expected

How it works

  1. Your provider assigns a public IP to your router or gateway (devices at home use private IPs).
  2. Sites see the public IP and look it up in one or more geolocation databases for country/city and ISP/ASN.
  3. Different networks (Wi-Fi vs mobile/VPN) can show different IPs and locations — that's expected.

Accuracy & privacy notes

  • IP geolocation is approximate. It can resolve to an ISP hub or gateway rather than your exact place.
  • VPN/proxy purposely shows the exit server location (by design); mobile/CGNAT can shift cities.
  • No personal name or street address can be derived from an IP alone.

Verify IPv4/IPv6 and common leaks

  1. Run the VPN Leak Test to combine IP, DNS, WebRTC, IPv6, and browser signals.
  2. Run DNS Leak Test to review common DNS exposure signals.
  3. Run WebRTC Leak Test to check whether your browser exposes IP candidates.
  4. Run IPv6 Leak Test if your provider supports IPv6 and you want to compare both stacks.
  5. Read the Methodology to understand what these browser diagnostics can and cannot prove.

About this checkWhat it checks, what it cannot, and how to read it

Check my browser/privacy

What this checks

The public IP route, IP version, approximate network owner, ASN, rough location context, and browser request details visible in this session.

Limits

What this cannot check

It cannot identify your exact home address, inspect every app, certify anonymity, or prove that a VPN, ISP, device, or account is safe.

Read results

How to interpret results

A good result means the visible IP and network owner match the route you expected, such as your normal ISP or a VPN exit, with no unexpected location or ASN change.

Warnings

What a warning means

A mismatch may mean a VPN, proxy, mobile carrier, CGNAT, office network, CDN, or geolocation database is changing how the route appears.

Fix path

What to do next

Compare the IP result with DNS, WebRTC, IPv6, and fingerprint tests before deciding whether a routing setup needs attention.

Retest

When to retest

Retest after connecting a VPN, switching networks, toggling mobile data, changing browser profiles, or updating DNS and IPv6 settings.

Quick reference

What Is My IP: what this tool does

Shows your current public IP, approximate location, ASN, ISP, and browser/session context.

How to use

  1. Load the page and read the address the server saw for this request.
  2. Reconnect or switch VPN location, then use Recheck to see the new visible address.
  3. Use the masked support summary when the address itself should not travel in a ticket.

What the result means

This is the address and network context the request arrived with: IP version, ASN and provider, and an approximate location. Approximate means city level at best, and for VPN, mobile carrier or CDN addresses it describes the provider's infrastructure rather than where you are sitting.

Limitations

  • One address is shown: the one this browser used for this request, not the one another app or another device may be using.
  • Location comes from third-party IP databases and is regularly wrong at city level and sometimes at country level.
  • ASN and ISP name who announces the address today. Both change without notice and neither identifies a person.

FAQ

What does What Is My IP do?

What Is My IP shows your current public IP, approximate location, ASN, ISP, and browser/session context. Results are review signals with stated limits.

How should I use What Is My IP results?

Use the result to decide what to review next, make one change at a time, and retest in the same browser, network, domain, or provider context when possible.

What does What Is My IP not prove?

It does not prove anonymity, full security, complete deliverability, full reputation cleanliness, search ranking, or AI citation. It only reports the visible signals available to this tool.
