What is my IP address?

It is shown in the top block of the page — the public address you use to go online right now.

Can an IP reveal my exact address?

No. An IP usually reveals the country, city and provider, but not an exact address.

What is the difference between a public and a private IP?

Websites on the internet see the public one. A private IP is an address inside your home or office network and is not visible from outside.

How do I change my IP?

Connect a proxy: websites will see the IP of a proxy server in the country you need instead of yours.

Why did my IP not change after connecting a proxy?

Make sure the proxy is set in the browser or app settings and that the login, password and port are correct. You can check the proxy in the proxy checker.

Why is my city detected incorrectly?

The city comes from IP databases and can be approximate: an address is sometimes registered to the city where the provider network is registered, not where you are.

Does incognito mode change my IP?

No. Incognito does not keep history and cookies, but the IP stays the same.

Why do my neighbour and I have the same IP?

ISPs and mobile carriers often put many subscribers online behind one shared address.

Does a proxy change my IP address?

Yes. Websites see the IP of the proxy server instead of yours — you can check it on this page.

Is it safe to check my IP?

Yes. The page shows only what any website already sees when you open it: your IP address, network data and browser headers.

Does a VPN or proxy change my IP?

Yes: websites see the address of the VPN or proxy server. Connect it and reload the page — the IP and country should change.

What's my proxy and IP

Your public IP address and what websites see about you: country, city, provider, browser and OS. A quick way to check whether the IP changed after connecting a proxy.

What is an IP address

An IP address is the number of a device or network on the internet. Websites see your public IP and use it to tell your country, city and provider. Addresses come in IPv4 and IPv6.

How to find your IP address

Your IP address is shown as soon as the page opens — in the top block. Nothing to click: it is the address you use to go online right now, and every website sees it.

There are other ways to see an address, but they do not always show the same thing:

In the router settings — the external address issued by your provider. It usually matches the one on this page.
In the system (ipconfig on Windows, ifconfig or ip a on macOS and Linux) — the local address inside your home or office network. Websites do not see it.
On this page — the public address, including a proxy or VPN if one is connected. This is the one to check.

Public vs local IP

	Public IP	Local IP
Who sees it	All websites and services on the internet	Only devices in your network
Who assigns it	Your ISP, mobile carrier or proxy	Your router
Examples	Any address outside private ranges	192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.16–31.x.x
Where to see it	On this page	In the device network settings

Several devices at home usually go online under one public IP — the router gives them local addresses.

IPv4 and IPv6

IPv4 is the familiar format of four numbers from 0 to 255 separated by dots, e.g. 203.0.113.24. IPv6 is a long address of eight groups of hexadecimal digits separated by colons. It was introduced because there are not enough IPv4 addresses for everyone.

One connection can have both. This matters with proxies: if the proxy works over IPv4 only and IPv6 is enabled in the system, some requests may go directly. Check it with the DNS Leak Test.

What websites learn from your IP

From your IP a website learns:

the country — almost always accurately;
the region and city — approximately, from IP databases;
the provider and network number (ASN);
the connection type — home internet, mobile carrier or datacenter;
the expected time zone and language — and compares them with your browser settings.

Your name, phone and exact address cannot be found from an IP. Details about any address are in IP Lookup.

Why your IP changes by itself

Most home connections have a dynamic address: the provider may issue a new one after a router restart or after some time. A permanent (static) IP is usually a separate option from the provider.

In mobile internet, many subscribers often share one public IP, and the address changes when you reconnect to the network.

How to find your proxy address

Connect the proxy and open this page: the “IP address” block will show the proxy server address, and the country and provider will be the proxy ones, not yours.

The proxy port, login and password are not visible here — they are in your provider dashboard and in the settings of the app where you connected the proxy.

How to check that a proxy works

1
Open this page without a proxy and note the IP and country.
2
Connect the proxy in your browser, app or antidetect browser.
3
Reload the page: the IP, country and provider should change to the proxy ones.
4
If it is a rotating proxy, reload again: the address should change.
5
Run the DNS Leak Test to make sure your real address is not exposed through DNS or WebRTC.

The IP did not change? Check the proxy in the proxy checker and the app settings.

How to change your IP address

Method	Result	Country choice
Restart the router	A new address if the IP is dynamic	No
Reconnect mobile internet	A new carrier address	No
Connect a proxy	The proxy server address; you can choose the IP type and rotation	Yes — country, and city or carrier for some proxies
Connect a VPN	The VPN server address for the whole device	From the VPN server list
