What is an IP address?

An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a numerical identifier used to recognise devices on a network. There are two main types:

  • IPv4 – for example: 192.168.1.1
  • IPv6 – for example: 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334

This tool automatically detects which type of IP address you are using.


Why check your IP address?

An IP Address Checker is useful for:

  • troubleshooting network problems
  • checking access to websites
  • testing firewall settings
  • checking VPN connections
  • security checks

Public vs. local IP address

This tool shows your public IP address. This is the address by which you are visible on the internet.
Local IP addresses (such as 192.168.x.x) are only used within your own network and are not visible to websites.


Is my IP address private?

An IP address can reveal information about your internet connection. That is why it is wise to be careful when sharing it. You can use a VPN to hide your real IP address.
