What Is My IP?
Your public IP address, shown the moment this page loads. No click, no form, no account.
What is my IP? It is the public address of the internet connection that loaded this page — the one every website sees when you visit. Below it you will find your IPv4 and IPv6 side by side, an approximate location, the network behind the address, and the details your browser can read on your own device. Every value has its own Copy button, and two privacy checks sit below the result.

Your IP on the map
Drawn by this page — no map service was called. The pin marks the middle of the area, not your home.
Your connection was answered in the same city your IP points to.
Same time on both clocks — your device and your IP agree about the hour.
Both exits, cross-checked
Each family was asked separately, on our own endpoints — and each exit reported its own full connection profile.
What this means: there is nothing to classify on this side — address types and tunnels are an IPv6 question, so this card simply reports the exit exactly as it was measured.
What this means: this connection has a native IPv6 path of its own — no transition tunnel is translating for it, so IPv6 sites are reached directly.
- IPv4 exit answered
- IPv6 exit answered
- Both exits in the same city
- Both exits encrypted with TLS 1.3

The What Is My IP API
The same answer this page shows, as an API — you choose the fields, the family and the format. No key, no sign-up.
Plain text returns just the bare IP of the chosen family — handy for scripts and shell variables.
Field reference — what each field means
Good to know: no API key and no sign-up. CORS is open, so a browser can call it directly. Free for light use — a fair per-IP rate limit applies, and if you hit it you get a 429 with a Retry-After header. The endpoint logs nothing, exactly like this page. This is v1: the response shape will not break — new fields may be added, existing ones keep their names and meanings.
Compare with your device
Your phone or computer knows where it is far better than an IP does.
Not run. If you start it, your browser — not this page — asks for permission, reads the location on your device, and places it beside the IP’s estimate with the distance between the two. The device location is never sent to us.
The distance is only as honest as the accuracy beside it: the device fix is good to about ± — m, while the IP estimate points at the network, not at you.
How this page found your address: your browser asked our server for this page, and our server read the connection it arrived on — the address, the network behind it, and the location that network points to. It handed the answer straight back and kept no record of it. The browser details were read on your device and never left it. One step is optional: if you run the WebRTC check, your browser asks a public STUN server how it looks from outside.
What is my IP address telling websites?
An IP address is an address, not an identity. It never reveals your name, your street address, your phone number or your email. What it can show is a country, a rough area and the network you connect through.
Location from an IP is approximate. The country is usually reliable, the city is a rough guess, and the coordinates point to the middle of an area, not to your front door.
Privacy checks: hints, not verdicts
Both checks produce hints. Neither one can tell you whether a VPN or proxy is in use.
WebRTC check. WebRTC is the part of your browser that handles live calls, and it can expose more addresses than a normal page load. The check runs only when you start it, because it asks a public STUN server how you look from outside — the only external endpoints your browser contacts for this check. There are three outcomes:
“The public address your browser revealed matches the one this page loaded with.”
“Your browser revealed a public address that differs from the one this page loaded with. This is a possible leak, not proof of one.”
“Your browser didn’t return a public address, so this check couldn’t be completed. Some browsers and privacy settings turn WebRTC off or hide it.”
Timezone comparison. It has three outcomes too: a match; a mismatch, which can happen with a proxy or VPN and equally when you are travelling, using a remote desktop or have set your clock by hand; and “couldn’t read one of the two timezones.”
What is my IP address, in plain words?
An IP address is a number that lets networked devices find each other, like a postal address for data. When you open a website, your connection sends its address along with the request so the reply knows where to go.
You may have more than one. Your home router holds a public address, which the internet sees. Each device inside your home holds a private address, which only your own network sees. The address this page answers with is the public one — the address seen by our server when your browser requested this page.
IPv4 vs IPv6
IPv4 addresses are four numbers from 0 to 255, such as 203.0.113.42. There are about 4.3 billion of them, which is why they have been in short supply for years.
IPv6 addresses are longer, written in hexadecimal groups separated by colons, such as 2001:db8::1. The supply is vast. Most connections today use one or both, and a device that has both normally prefers IPv6 when it works. That is why this page shows the two side by side: you may be reachable on one, both or, rarely, only one of them. A single page load arrives over one connection and carries one address of one family, so the page also asks its own family-forced endpoints for the other side.
Public vs private IP
A public IP address is the one the internet sees, usually assigned by your internet provider to your router. A private IP address only identifies a device inside your own network. Typical private ranges begin with 192.168, 10, or 172.16 to 172.31.
Your router translates between the two, so every phone, laptop and TV in your home appears to the internet as the same public address. That is also why the private address on your device never appears on this page’s headline.
What does my IP address reveal?
To a website, your address shows roughly where your network is, who runs it and which timezone it points to. Sites use this for regional content, fraud checks and security.
It doesn’t show who you are. Your internet provider holds the records that connect an address to an account, and a website cannot read them. Some addresses are shared by many households, so even the provider’s mapping can be broader than one home.
How to change or hide your IP
Several methods exist, and each works differently.
- Restart your router. Many providers assign addresses that can change, but some hand back the same one.
- Ask your provider. They can explain whether yours is dynamic or fixed, and may offer a change.
- Switch networks. Moving from home Wi-Fi to mobile data or another Wi-Fi gives you that network’s address.
- VPN or proxy. Your traffic goes through another server, so sites see that server’s address. You’re trusting whoever runs it, because they can see the traffic instead.
- Tor. Traffic passes through several relays, which is slower, and some sites block it.
None of these makes you anonymous. Accounts, cookies and browser fingerprints can still identify you. This page does not recommend or endorse any product.
Why your IP location can be wrong
Location databases estimate where an address is used, based on registrations and network data. Mobile networks often route traffic through hubs far from you, and providers reassign addresses between regions. VPNs and proxies place you wherever their server sits.
The coordinates therefore point to a registered or estimated spot, such as a provider’s hub or a city centre, not to your home. Treat the country as dependable and the city as a rough guide.
How this page treats your data
RahaKit builds private, local-first tools. This page follows that. It reads the connection your own request arrived on, shows you the answer and keeps no record: we don’t store or log what it shows. The browser details are read on your device and never leave it. The page has no analytics, no third-party scripts and no third-party APIs.
There is one optional exception. If you run the WebRTC check, your browser contacts a public STUN server, which will see your public address like any server you connect to. It runs only if you ask.

Frequently asked questions
What is my IP address?
Your IP address is the public address of the connection you are using right now — the number websites see when you visit them. This page shows it the moment it loads, with your IPv4 and IPv6 side by side when both are available, plus the location and network behind it.
What is a public IP address?
A public IP address is the address your connection uses on the open internet. Your provider assigns it to your router or device, every website you visit can see it, and all the devices in your home usually share the same one.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses are four numbers separated by dots, such as 203.0.113.42, and there are about 4.3 billion of them. IPv6 addresses are longer, written in hexadecimal groups separated by colons, and the supply is vast. Many connections today use both at once.
Public vs private IP — what is the difference?
A public IP is visible to the internet — it is the address this page shows. A private IP works only inside your own network, such as 192.168.1.10 on a home router. Your router translates between the two, so the internet never sees your private address.
What can someone learn from my IP address?
Roughly where your network is — country reliably, city approximately — which organisation runs it, and which timezone it points to. Not your name, phone number, email or street address: your provider holds the records that link an address to an account, and a website cannot read them.
Can an IP address reveal my exact street address?
No. IP location is approximate: it comes from where address ranges are registered, not from your device. The country is usually dependable and the city is a rough guide, but the coordinates point to a network’s registered or estimated spot — never to your home.
Why does my IP show the wrong location — how accurate is IP location?
Databases estimate where an address is used from registrations and network data. Providers route traffic through distant hubs, reassign addresses between regions, and mobile networks anchor addresses far from you. Treat the country as dependable and the city, postal code and coordinates as a rough guide.
Why does my IP address change?
Most home connections get a dynamic address, which your provider can change when your router restarts, a lease expires or the network is rearranged. Switching networks — from home Wi-Fi to mobile data, for example — changes it too. Some plans include a fixed address instead.
Does a VPN hide my IP address — and how do I check my VPN is working?
A VPN routes your traffic through another server, so websites see that server’s address and location instead of yours. To check, compare the address and location shown here before and after connecting. The timezone and WebRTC checks on this page are hints only — not proof either way.
How do I find my local (Wi-Fi) IP address on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?
Windows: run ipconfig in Command Prompt. Mac: System Settings, then Network, then your connection’s details. iPhone: Settings, Wi-Fi, then the info button beside your network. Android: Settings, Network, then your Wi-Fi network’s details. Menu names vary slightly by version.
