Instant IP lookup, geolocation, and 10+ free network diagnostic tools.
Every website you visit can see the information above — your approximate location, ISP, and connection type. This is how the internet works: your IP is shared with every server you connect to.
Advertisers use it for targeting, streaming services use it for geo-blocking, and data brokers can build a profile of your browsing habits over time. A VPN replaces your real IP with one from another location, keeping your activity private.

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to the internet. It identifies your device on the network and reveals your approximate geographic location. There are two versions in use: IPv4 (e.g. 192.168.1.1) and IPv6 (e.g. 2001:db8::1).
No. IP geolocation is accurate to the city level at best and often only to the region or country level. It cannot pinpoint your street address or exact location. Your ISP knows your exact location, but that information is not exposed through your IP address.
You can hide your IP address by using a VPN (Virtual Private Network), the Tor network, or a proxy server. A VPN encrypts your traffic and routes it through a server in another location, masking your real IP address.
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (about 4.3 billion unique addresses) while IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (virtually unlimited). IPv6 was created to solve the IPv4 address exhaustion problem and offers built-in security features and simpler network configuration. Learn more.
Most residential internet connections use dynamic IP addresses, which your ISP changes periodically (usually every few hours or days). If you need a stable IP, ask your ISP about a static IP address or use our IP change monitoring feature to get alerts.
