Public IP Address Diagnostic Tool

The My IP Address Checker provides an instant diagnostic of your network identity. It reveals the public-facing IP address that you are using to communicate with the application.

Understanding IP Addresses

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network. It serves two main functions: host identification and location addressing.

IPv4 vs IPv6

  • IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4): The existing standard that powers most of the web. It uses 32-bit addresses formatted as four decimal numbers (e.g., `192.168.1.1`). Because the world ran out of new IPv4 addresses in the 2010s, ISPs use techniques like NAT (Network Address Translation) to share them.
  • IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6): The successor to IPv4. It uses 128-bit addresses formatted as eight groups of hexadecimal digits (e.g., `2001:0db8::1`). It allows for 3.4 x 10^38 unique addresses—enough for every atom on Earth to have its own IP.

Public vs Private IP

If you check your computer's settings, you might see an IP like `192.168.x.x`. This is your Private IP, valid only within your home WiFi. The IP shown in this tool is your Public IP, assigned by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). This is the address web servers see. Use this tool to verify if your VPN is working (the IP should change) or to whitelist your connection for server access lists.
