About This Tool
This tool allows you to quickly and easily find out your public IP address. Your IP address is a unique identifier assigned to your device when it connects to the internet, and it can come in two forms: IPv4 and IPv6. The IP addresses shown here are the ones visible to websites, apps, and services that you connect to online.
What is an IP Address?
Your IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique string of numbers (or sometimes letters in the case of IPv6) that helps identify your device on the internet. Every time you access a website or send data online, your IP address helps route the information to and from your device.
What is the Difference Between IPv4 and IPv6?
There are two types of IP addresses:
- IPv4: The most common form of IP address. It consists of four sets of numbers (like 192.0.2.1) and has been in use since the early days of the internet. However, IPv4 is slowly running out of available addresses, leading to the adoption of IPv6.
- IPv6: A newer version of the IP address format. It allows for a much larger pool of addresses and looks different from IPv4 addresses (for example: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334). While many devices still use IPv4, IPv6 is becoming increasingly common.
Why Is My Public IP Address Important?
Your public IP address is used to identify your device on the internet and is visible to the services and websites you access. This information can be used for various purposes, including connecting you to the right servers, determining your general location, and personalizing your online experience.
Is My IP Address Private?
Your public IP address is visible to websites and apps you interact with, but it does not reveal personal details like your name or address. However, it can provide information about your approximate location and your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
With this tool, you can easily check what IP address is being used by your device on the internet. Knowing your IP address can help with network troubleshooting, security checks, and ensuring you're connected properly.
