IP Lookup

What Is My IP Address?

Your IP address is your device's identity on the internet. When you visit a website, send an email, or stream a video, your IP address is included in every network request so that the server knows where to send the response. Think of it as your device's return address on the internet.

This tool instantly shows your public IP address as seen by our servers. Along with your IP, you'll see your approximate geographic location, Internet Service Provider (ISP), ASN (Autonomous System Number), and whether your connection appears to be using a VPN, proxy, or Tor. If your ISP supports both IPv4 and IPv6, we'll detect and display both addresses.

Unlike many IP checker tools, DNSX does not use cookies, does not store your IP address, and does not track you across visits. Your lookup is processed in real-time and the results are shown only to you.

What Your IP Address Reveals

Approximate Location

Your IP is mapped to a city and region based on your ISP's network infrastructure. This is typically accurate to the city level for wired connections.

Internet Service Provider

The organization that assigned your IP address and provides your internet connection. Identified through ASN and RDAP registration data.

Connection Type

Whether your connection is residential broadband, mobile, or a hosting/datacenter IP. VPN and proxy connections are also detected.

IP Version

Whether you're connecting via IPv4 (like 203.0.113.1) or IPv6 (like 2001:db8::1). Many ISPs now support both protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is my IP address?▼
Your IP (Internet Protocol) address is the unique numerical identifier assigned to your device by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). It's the address that websites and online services see when you connect to them. This page shows your current public IP address as seen by our server.
What is the difference between my public and private IP address?▼
Your public IP address is the one visible to the internet — it's assigned by your ISP and shared by all devices on your local network. Your private IP address (like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) is used only within your home or office network and is not visible to websites. This tool shows your public IP address.
Why does my IP address show a different city than where I am?▼
IP geolocation maps your IP to the nearest data center or network hub operated by your ISP, not your exact physical location. It's common for your IP to be geolocated to a city 50-200 miles away, especially if you're in a suburban or rural area. Mobile connections and VPNs can show locations even further from your actual position.
Do I have an IPv4 and IPv6 address?▼
Most internet connections today have an IPv4 address. Some ISPs also assign an IPv6 address (a longer address with colons, like 2001:db8::1). If your ISP supports dual-stack, you'll have both. This tool detects and shows both your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses when available.
Can someone find my exact location from my IP address?▼
No. An IP address typically reveals your approximate location (city or region) and your ISP, but not your exact street address or identity. Only your ISP can map your IP to your physical address, and they are legally required to protect that information. Law enforcement can request this information with a court order.
How do I hide my IP address?▼
You can mask your IP address using a VPN (Virtual Private Network), which routes your traffic through a server in another location and shows that server's IP instead of yours. Other options include the Tor network (which routes traffic through multiple relays) or a proxy server. Our tool includes VPN, proxy, and Tor detection so you can verify if your IP is properly masked.
