What Is My IP
Your IP address is shown at the top of this page. CheckMyIP.net detects your current IPv4 and IPv6 addresses when they are available, lets you copy them instantly, and shows network details connected with your internet connection.
You can also use the IP lookup above to check another IP address and view available information such as ISP, organization, ASN, hostname, reverse DNS and approximate location.
Check My IP
Your IP address is the internet address used by your connection when communicating with websites, apps and online services. The IPv4 and IPv6 results at the top of this page show the addresses currently detected for your connection.
If both protocols are available, they are shown separately because a connection can use IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time.
Check IP
Enter any valid IPv4 or IPv6 address in the lookup box to check its available network information. The IP check can show country, region, city, timezone, ISP, organization, ASN and reverse DNS hostname.
This is useful for server addresses, network logs, security alerts, game servers and general troubleshooting.
IP Lookup
An IP address lookup connects an IP address with information published or inferred about the network using it. Depending on the address, results can include the ISP, organization, ASN, hostname and approximate geolocation.
IP location is not GPS. It can point to a nearby city, an ISP location or another place associated with the network.
IPv4 and IPv6
IPv4 is the older and still widely used IP format. A familiar IPv4 address looks like 8.8.8.8. IPv6 uses a much larger address space and addresses such as 2001:4860:4860::8888.
Many modern connections support both, so CheckMyIP.net attempts to detect and display IPv4 and IPv6 separately.
ISP, Hostname and Reverse DNS
The IP check can show the ISP, organization and ASN associated with an address when that information is available. These details help identify the network responsible for the IP range.
Reverse DNS checks whether an IP address has a hostname assigned to it. Some addresses return a useful ISP or server hostname, while others have no reverse DNS record.
Public IP and Private IP
The IP address websites see is different from the private address a device can use inside your home or office. Private IPv4 addresses commonly begin with ranges such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x.
Several devices behind the same router can share one internet-facing IP while each device keeps its own private local address.
Does My IP Address Show My Location
An IP address can often estimate a country, region or city, but it does not reveal an exact home address or GPS position. VPNs, proxies, mobile carriers, CGNAT and ISP routing can make the estimate less precise.
For browser-based location information, use Check My Location.
Why Does My IP Address Change
Many internet providers assign dynamic IP addresses. Your IP can change after reconnecting, restarting network equipment, switching WiFi networks, moving to mobile data or when the ISP renews the connection.
VPNs and proxy services can also make websites see a different IP because your traffic is sent through another server first.
