How to find my IP address
Find your public IP address and see the headers you send. Free, instant, and an explanation of public vs private IPs.
Your public IP address is how the internet sees you — the address websites, APIs, and proxies talk back to. Here is how to find it and what it does (and does not) reveal.
Public vs private IP
Your device has a private IP on your local network (like 192.168.x.x) and shares a public IP assigned by your ISP with everything behind your router. Websites only ever see the public IP. Our tool shows the public IP your request arrived from, plus the headers you sent.
What your IP reveals
A public IP can be roughly geolocated to a city and maps to your ISP — but not to your name or exact address. If you are using a VPN or proxy, the IP shown is the exit node’s, not your real one, which is exactly how proxies hide your origin.
Step by step
Open the What’s-my-IP tool — it shows your public IP instantly.
Review the request headers (User-Agent, language, and forwarding headers).
To verify a proxy or VPN is working, open it through the proxy and confirm the IP changes to the exit node.
