Is my IP address location accurate?

IP geolocation is typically accurate to the city level, but not to your exact address. The location shown is based on ISP registration data and may show your ISP's regional hub rather than your exact location. VPN users will see their VPN server's location.

What's the difference between public and private IP?

Your public IP is assigned by your ISP and is visible to the internet. Your private/local IP (like 192.168.x.x) is used within your home network. This tool shows your public IP, and may detect your local IP if your browser supports WebRTC.

Can websites see my IP address?

Yes, every website you visit can see your public IP address. It's required for internet communication. To hide your IP, you can use a VPN, proxy, or Tor browser.

Why does my IP address change?

Most residential ISPs use dynamic IP addresses that can change periodically (when your router restarts or lease expires). Business connections often have static IPs that don't change. VPN users see the VPN server's IP which changes based on server selection.

No, your IP address is detected client-side and not stored or logged on our servers. This tool runs entirely in your browser for privacy.
