What is an IP Address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address helps route traffic between devices and networks. A website may see an address shared through your router or carrier, or the exit of a VPN, rather than the local address shown in your device settings.
There are two types of IP addresses: IPv4 (like 192.168.1.1) and IPv6 (like 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334). IPv6 was created because we’re running out of IPv4 addresses.
An IP database can suggest a network owner and approximate location. An IP can also be one signal used to associate visits, but it does not identify a person on its own. This site reports one address for the current request, not a complete test of your network.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is my IP address?
This page shows the public source address used by your request to FindMyIP. It may be shared through a router, carrier or VPN. It can differ from your device’s local address and does not independently test both IPv4 and IPv6.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses use a format like 192.168.1.1 (four numbers separated by dots), while IPv6 addresses use a format like 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334 (eight groups of hexadecimal numbers separated by colons). IPv6 was created because we are running out of available IPv4 addresses due to the growth of internet-connected devices.
Can my IP address reveal my exact location?
An IP database gives an approximate location associated with an address. Accuracy varies; a city label or map coordinate is not a verified street address or the current location of your device.
Why would I need to look up an IP address?
IP lookup helps interpret the registered network and approximate location associated with an address. Comparing your own before-and-after result can show a changed source for that request, but this tool does not detect VPNs or proxies, test DNS leaks, or certify your connection’s security.
How do I hide my IP address?
A VPN can change the public address websites see for traffic routed through its tunnel. Your local network still sees your device and its VPN connection, and websites can still recognize logins and cookies. Proxies and Tor have different properties; choose a tool for the specific privacy need.
