Your public IP address is the address that websites, servers, and other internet-connected devices see when you connect to them. It is assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and can change over time unless you have a static IP address. This tool fetches your current public IP using a free public API — no login, no tracking.
Your private IP address (like 192.168.1.x or 10.x.x.x) is assigned by your home router and is only visible on your local network. Your public IP is the one your router presents to the internet. Multiple devices on the same network share a single public IP.
IP geolocation maps an IP address to an approximate geographic location based on regional internet registry data, routing tables, and commercial databases. The location shown is typically the city where your ISP has its network infrastructure, not your exact address. VPN users will see their VPN server's location instead of their real location.
Websites can see your approximate location (usually city-level) from your IP address. They cannot determine your exact home address from the IP alone, but they may combine it with other data.
Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network), the Tor Browser, or a proxy server. These route your traffic through a different server, masking your real IP from websites you visit.
