Your public IP — the address the internet sees
What is my public IP? It is the address websites, apps, and remote services see when your device connects online. This free lookup finds it automatically and shows it above so you can copy it with one tap — useful for VPN checks, router allow-lists, and IT support.
Your home network also uses private IPs (often 192.168.x.x) inside the
house. The public IP is the outward one assigned by your ISP, or by your VPN when
the VPN is on. If the number changes when you turn the VPN on or off, the VPN is working.
No signup, no app install. The address is for you to use right now; this page does not keep a history of your IP for later.
