This is the public IP your connection uses right now. Switch to Wi-Fi, mobile data, or a VPN and it may change.

Your public IP address is displayed above, along with your location, internet provider, and security score. This is what every website you visit can see. whatismyip.ai helps you understand what your IP reveals, learn the basics of networking and privacy, and pull IP data into your own code.
This page shows your public IP in real time with three key details: your approximate location (city and country), your internet provider (ISP and ASN), and a reputation score that flags VPN, proxy, or Tor usage. No account required, no cookies, no data stored.
Every time you visit a website, your IP reveals your approximate location, your ISP, and whether your connection is residential, mobile, or from a datacenter. Once you know what's exposed, decisions about privacy and security get much easier. Our guides walk through the fundamentals with practical examples.
Geolocation works by matching your IP against databases that record where each address range is registered. No GPS is involved. In practice, the country is right almost every time, while the city is an approximation that depends on your provider: fixed broadband is often accurate to the metro area, mobile connections may point to a regional hub, and VPN traffic shows the server's location instead of yours. This page uses a local copy of a leading geolocation database, refreshed regularly, and combines it with security signals (VPN, proxy, and Tor detection) so you can see exactly what websites can and cannot infer about you.
Need IP data in your code? A single GET request returns geolocation, ASN, ISP, and security signals for any public IP. No API key, no sign-up, 100 requests per minute included. Works with curl, Python, JavaScript, or any HTTP client.
API documentationYour IP tells websites your approximate city, your internet provider, and whether you're behind a VPN or proxy. A reputable VPN is the simplest way to control this exposure. Knowing what's visible (and what isn't) is the first step.
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique number that identifies your device on a network, like 203.0.113.42. Your internet provider assigns one to your connection, and every website you visit uses it to send data back to your browser. The address shown at the top of this page is your current public IP.
Usually not. Most home and mobile connections use a dynamic IP that can change when your router restarts or your provider reassigns addresses. Businesses often pay extra for a static IP that never changes. If your IP looks different than yesterday, that's normal behavior, not a problem.
No. An IP address reveals your approximate city and your internet provider, not your name or street address. Only your ISP can link an IP to a subscriber, and it only discloses that information through legal process. Websites you visit see the city-level estimate displayed on this page, nothing more precise.
IP geolocation maps address ranges to locations using databases, not GPS. Country accuracy is excellent, but city accuracy varies: providers often register ranges at regional hubs, and mobile or VPN traffic can exit far from where you are. A wrong city is a limitation of the method, not an error on your connection.
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses like 203.0.113.42 and offers about 4.3 billion combinations, which the internet has outgrown. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses like 2001:db8::1 and provides a virtually unlimited supply. Both run side by side today, which is why your connection may show either format depending on the network.
Yes. With a VPN, websites see the VPN server's IP instead of yours; this page will show the VPN exit address and usually flag it. Your real IP stays visible to the VPN provider itself, so pick a trustworthy one. A VPN doesn't block cookies or browser fingerprinting: it hides your IP, not your identity.
Each connection has its own public IP. On Wi-Fi you go online through your home provider; on mobile data you use your carrier's network, where one address is often shared by many users (CGNAT) and IPv6 is more common. Switching networks switches your visible IP, and that's expected.
Realistically: estimate your city, identify your internet provider, and in rare cases target your connection with unwanted traffic. They can't hack your devices, read your files, or find your identity from an IP alone. Avoid posting it publicly, but remember that every website you visit already sees it.
