Welcome to our free IP lookup tool! Whether you're a tech enthusiast, setting up a network, or just curious about your digital identity, this tool provides instant and accurate information about your public IP address.
An IP Address (short for Internet Protocol address) is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. Think of it as your digital mailing address.
Just like your home address allows mail to be delivered to you, your IP address allows data from the internet (like websites, emails, and videos) to be sent to your specific device.
There are two main types of IP addresses:

Here are some common questions about IP addresses.
Q: Is this tool free to use?
A: Yes! Our "What is My IP" tool is 100% free for everyone.
Q: What is the difference between a Public IP and a Private IP?
A: Your Private IP is used by devices within your local network (like your home Wi-Fi) to talk to each other. Your Public IP is the single address that the outside world (the internet) sees. Our tool shows your Public IP.
Q: Why does my IP address change?
A: Most residential IP addresses are "dynamic," meaning your ISP assigns them to you temporarily. Your IP might change when you restart your router or after a certain amount of time. "Static" IPs, which don't change, are usually reserved for businesses.
Q: How accurate is the IP location?
A: The location (city, country) shown is based on the database owned by your ISP. It is generally accurate at the country and city level but not precise enough to show your exact street or home address.
Q: Is it safe to share my IP address?
A: Your IP address is not a secret, but you should be cautious. It's how websites identify you. While it doesn't reveal personal information like your name or phone number, it's the first piece of your digital identity.
