What Is My IP Address?

Check the public IP address and coarse request location seen by the server, with one-click copy and clear privacy notes.

Why results may vary

VPNs, proxies, mobile carriers and corporate networks can change the public IP or location shown, and local/private LAN addresses are not exposed by this test.

How to use this test

Open the page and the public IP seen by the Devices Test Hub server is checked automatically. Use Refresh IP after changing networks or VPN state, and Copy IP to place the address on your clipboard.

How the measurement works

The page reads the public-facing address and approximate location information presented by your current connection, then displays only the network details needed for the result.

How to interpret results

IPv4 uses dotted-decimal addresses while IPv6 uses colon-separated hexadecimal groups. The shown address is public-facing; it may belong to a VPN, carrier NAT, office gateway or proxy rather than the device itself.

Troubleshooting tips

If the address is unavailable, refresh the page or try another browser or network. If the location looks wrong, disable a VPN or proxy for comparison and remember that IP geolocation is approximate.

What is my public IP address used for?

Your public IP is the address internet services see for the current network path. It is used for routing and can also support coarse network or regional identification, but it is not a precise home address.

Why does my public IP change?

Many ISPs use dynamic addressing, carrier-grade NAT or reconnect-based assignment. VPNs and mobile networks can also present different public addresses as your route changes.

IPv4 vs IPv6: what is the difference?

IPv4 uses a smaller legacy address space, while IPv6 provides a much larger address space and different network design. A connection can support one or both depending on the ISP and network.

Does this show my private home-network IP address?

No. It shows the public address presented to the Devices Test Hub server. Private LAN addresses such as 192.168.x.x are not requested by this tool.
