Frequently Asked Questions

What is my public IP address?
Your public IP address is the address that the internet sees when you connect from your home, office, or mobile network. It is assigned to you by your ISP and is the address other servers use to send data back to you. It is different from your private (local) IP address, which is the address your router assigns to your device on your internal network and is typically in ranges like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x.
Why does my IP address change?
Most residential internet connections use a dynamic IP address, which means your ISP can assign you a different IP address each time your router reconnects, or on a scheduled basis. Business connections and some premium residential plans may include a static IP that never changes. If you need a consistent IP (for example, to whitelist in a firewall or to run a server), ask your ISP about a static IP option or use a VPN with a dedicated IP.
What information can someone determine from my IP address?
From your IP address, someone can typically determine your approximate geographic location (usually city or region level, not your street address), your ISP or organisation, your ASN (Autonomous System Number), and a rough timezone. They cannot determine your exact home address, your name, or your personal identity from an IP address alone. The information shown by this tool is the same as what any website you visit can see about your connection.
Does using a VPN change my IP address?
Yes. When connected to a VPN, your traffic is routed through the VPN provider's server and websites see the VPN server's IP address instead of your own. This tool will show the VPN server's IP when you are connected. This is useful for masking your real IP, bypassing geographic restrictions, or testing how your connection appears from a different location. The location and ISP shown will reflect the VPN server, not your actual location.
