What is an IP address?

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to the internet. It serves as the device's identifier for sending and receiving data.

Is this my public or private IP?

This tool shows your public IP address — the one visible to websites and services on the internet. Your private/local IP is different and used only within your local network.

Why might my IP look different from what I expect?

If you use a VPN, proxy, or corporate network, the displayed IP will be that of the VPN or proxy server, not your ISP-assigned address.

Is my IP address stored?

No. The IP is read from the request headers and returned to you. It is not logged or stored on our servers.
