How to Use the My IP Address Tool

  1. Open the page — your public IP is fetched automatically and shown in large type.
  2. Below it, a grid lists country, region, city, postal code, ISP, timezone, latitude/longitude and IP type.
  3. Click Copy IP to put just the address on your clipboard.
  4. Reload the page after switching VPN, hotspot, or network to see the new IP and its geolocation.

Two independent sources are queried in parallel — ipwho.is for a one-shot IP-plus-geo response, and cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace for the IP itself, then a follow-up geo lookup. Whichever source returns first wins the race, so the IP normally appears within a few hundred milliseconds. If the primary geo source is rate-limited, the tool falls back to ipapi.co for the location grid so you still get useful data.

How IP Geolocation Works (and Doesn't)

IP geolocation databases map ranges of IP addresses to the location of the nearest registration record or peering point — not to where the device physically sits. Country and timezone are normally accurate; city resolution can be off by tens or hundreds of kilometres, especially on mobile carriers that route traffic through regional hubs. The ISP field reflects who registered the IP block, so on a VPN you'll see the VPN provider's hosting company rather than your home broadband.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the city or ISP look wrong?

IP geolocation is approximate. Databases map IP ranges to the location of the nearest registration or peering point, which often differs from where you actually are — you may see a neighbouring city or your ISP's regional hub. Country level is normally accurate; city level can be off by 50–200 km, especially on mobile networks.

Why does my IP look different from what my router shows?

Your router shows your local (LAN) IP — usually 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x — which is only visible inside your network. This page shows your public IP, the address the rest of the internet sees. They are almost always different unless you have a direct connection without NAT.

Will it detect a VPN or proxy?

It shows you the IP the internet sees, so when you're on a VPN you'll see the VPN exit node's IP, country and ISP — usually flagged as a hosting provider rather than a residential ISP. That's how websites detect VPN use too: the ISP field reads "Cloudflare", "OVH", "DigitalOcean" or similar instead of a consumer broadband name.

Does it work for IPv6 connections?

Yes — if your network has a public IPv6 address, you may see it instead of (or alongside) IPv4, depending on which source resolves first. The Type field reports IPv4 or IPv6 so you can tell which protocol the lookup used.
