My IP Address
This tool returns your current public IP address — the address that web servers, analytics tools, and security systems see when you connect. It also shows your approximate geographic location (city/country level), ISP name, and whether your connection is IPv4 or IPv6.
SEO, GEO & AEO: why this checklist matters
Who should use this
Developers and system administrators allowlisting IPs in security groups, users verifying VPN functionality, and anyone debugging network issues.
Rankings, AI answers, and citations
IP lookup has no direct SEO or ranking application. It's a network utility. Indirectly, knowing your development machine's IP helps you exclude your own traffic from analytics, which keeps your data clean.
What to verify before you ship
- Copy your IP before setting up server firewall rules to avoid locking yourself out
- If using a VPN, check that the IP shown matches your VPN's exit node
- IPv6 addresses are longer — confirm your server or service accepts IPv6 if needed
- Dynamic IPs change with router restarts — re-check if your allowlist stops working

What is a public IP address?
Your public IP is the address assigned to your internet connection by your ISP. It's what the rest of the internet sees. It's different from your local (private) IP used within your home or office network.
Can websites see my IP address?
Yes. Every web request includes your IP address as part of the TCP connection. Websites can log it, geolocation databases can approximate your location from it, and security systems use it for rate limiting and fraud detection.
How accurate is IP geolocation?
Country-level accuracy is around 95-99%. City-level accuracy varies from 50-80% depending on the database and ISP. VPNs and proxies show the location of the exit node, not your physical location.
Does my IP address change?
Most residential ISPs assign dynamic IPs that can change when your router restarts or after an inactivity period. Business internet connections and server hosting use static IPs that don't change.
