Find your public IP address for free! Works with IPv4 and IPv6.
Your IP address information shows your location (city, region, country), ISP (Internet Service Provider) and location on a map. Many proxy servers, VPNs, and Tor exit nodes give themselves away from the IP alone.
Your IP Address Details:
13.58.172.13 (IPv4)

ec2-13-58-172-13.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com
Dublin, Ohio, United States
GPS coordinates are approximated on purpose for privacy reasons. Your true location may already be obfuscated by your ISP.

Want to protect your IP address and location? Use a VPN for better privacy
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) creates an encrypted tunnel between your device and a remote server, masking your original IP address and replacing it with one from the VPN server. This effectively hides your real location from websites, apps, and services you access online.
When you connect to a VPN, your internet traffic is routed through the VPN provider’s servers, which can be located anywhere in the world. This process conceals your true IP address—which contains information about your geographic location—and substitutes it with the IP address of the VPN server. As a result, the websites you visit see the VPN server’s location rather than your actual location.
Besides hiding your location data, a VPN also encrypts your internet traffic, protecting it from potential eavesdroppers on public Wi-Fi networks or even your internet service provider (ISP). This dual protection—encryption and IP masking—makes VPNs an essential tool for maintaining privacy online.

Please note that while some VPNs offer free plans, they often come with limitations such as data caps, fewer server locations, and slower speeds. Paid VPN services generally provide a more comprehensive and reliable experience.
Also, don’t blindly belive VPN providers will keep your online activities safe form prying eyes. It was demonstrated that sometimes VPN providers keep records that can be used to back track when you were contected via their service, from where (the original IP), and what sites you have visites.
Treat the concept of a VPN like an additional protection layer, not the ultimate privacy tool.
Frequently Asked Questions (IP address FAQ):
An IP address is a unique numerical identifier assigned to each device on a network. It’s crucial for routing data packets between devices and enabling internet communication.
Public IP addresses are globally unique and used on the Internet. Private IP addresses are used within local networks and can be reused across different networks.
In a home network context the Public (external) IP is the address of your home router, while all devices in your home network use private IP addresses that are not accessible directly from outside your network.
IP address related risks include potential targeted attacks, geolocation tracking, and in some cases, correlation with online activities.
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1), while IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334). IPv6 was created to address IPv4 address exhaustion.
NAT allows multiple devices on a private network to share a single public IP address, translating between private and public addresses as data passes through a router.
While an IP address alone isn’t enough for hacking, it can be used as a starting point for reconnaissance or targeted attacks. Good security practices mitigate most risks.
Dynamic IP addresses change periodically and are assigned by DHCP servers. Static IP addresses are manually configured and remain constant.
A local IP address is assigned automatically by your home router to every device connected to it, including itself. This is called the local IP address, and it is not revealed to the wider internet. The local IP only works within your local network. Most routers will assign local IP addresses starting with 192.168.xxx.xxx.
