What is my public IP address
See your public IP address and approximate network location.
IP is fetched from independent APIs in your browser. Geo is an ISP estimate — not GPS.
Solutions that can help in your case
Other tools
Speed Test
Estimate download, upload and latency with a light browser HTTP test.
VPN Leak Test
Test WebRTC leaks and public IP visibility for your VPN.
Connection Type
Find out if you're on 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, or a slow connection.
Privacy Score
See how fingerprintable your browser is — signals collected only on your device.
How “what is my IP” works
Your device asks independent HTTPS APIs (ipify and ipapi) for the public IP your traffic currently shows. Optionally we also show ISP/city estimates returned by those services.
This is not a speed test and not a VPN leak test. For WebRTC leaks, use the dedicated VPN tool after you connect.
How to use it
Open: Load the page on HTTPS.
Read IP: Check the large public IP value.
Optional VPN: Connect a VPN and refresh.
Leak check: Run the VPN leak tool if needed.
Need to know which IP the internet sees?
Support chats, gaming, banking and VPN setup all ask for “your IP”. People also want to check if a VPN actually changed it.
Refresh with VPN off and on, compare the number, then run a leak test if privacy matters.
Practical tips
- Compare IP with VPN disconnected vs connected.
- If sources disagree, refresh or try another network.
- City labels are ISP estimates — travel may not update instantly.
- Mobile data and home fiber usually show different IPs.
- Corporate proxies can mask your home address.
- IPv6 may appear depending on your ISP and browser path.
- Do not paste your IP into untrusted forums with personal details.
- For anonymity claims, combine VPN + leak tests + browser hygiene.
Public vs private IP
Private IPs (10.x, 192.168.x, etc.) live on your LAN. Public IP is what the internet sees at the edge of your ISP or VPN.
This page focuses on the public address.
Why two sources
We query more than one provider so temporary API failures do not invent a blank result. If both fail, we say so instead of fabricating an address.
Geo is approximate
IP geolocation databases map ranges to cities or regions. They can be wrong by dozens of kilometers and often show the ISP POP, not your home.
Privacy
Requests go from your browser to third-party IP APIs. We do not store your IP on StackNest servers for this tool’s display.
When a VPN is the next step
If you need a different public IP for travel privacy, public Wi-Fi, or less ISP visibility, pick a reputable VPN, connect, refresh this page, then run the leak test.
