My IP

Check the public IP address visible from this browser, refresh after network changes, and copy the result for allowlists, VPN checks, or remote access notes.

Use it before allowlisting, firewall testing, VPN checks, or remote access setup.

Refresh after changing Wi-Fi, VPN, proxy, hotspot, or office network connections.

  • Check my public IP online
  • Copy the visible IP address
  • Confirm VPN or proxy changes

How to use My IP

Use this flow to check the public IP address your current browser connection exposes before copying it into another workflow.

  1. 1

    Run the IP check

    Open the tool and run the IP check so the browser can request the public address currently visible from this network connection before you copy anything.

  2. 2

    Compare your network state

    Review the displayed address alongside your active Wi-Fi, VPN, proxy, hotspot, or office network state, because switching any of those can change the public IP.

  3. 3

    Copy the right address

    Copy the IP only after it matches the network context you need for a firewall allowlist, server access note, support ticket, or quick troubleshooting step.

Public IP address check

Show the public IP address websites receive from the current browser connection without opening terminal commands or router settings.

VPN and proxy review

Refresh after turning a VPN, proxy, mobile hotspot, or office gateway on or off to confirm which IP is visible.

Browser-side lookup

The browser requests the visible address and displays the result in the page, keeping the check lightweight and easy to repeat.

Refresh before copying

Run a fresh check before adding an IP to an allowlist, remote access form, network note, or support conversation.

Remote access context

Use the result when a server, firewall, VPN portal, or admin panel asks for the public IP your connection is using.

Copy-ready address

Copy only the visible IP address after confirming the active network, then paste it into the destination that needs it.

My IP privacy and processing

My IP shows how the browser requests the visible public address, what stays in the session, and why VPN or network changes should be checked before copying.

Processing Browser

My IP requests the current public address from the browser, then shows the returned IP in the page so you can copy it after review.

Storage None

My IP keeps the displayed address in the current session only. Refreshing the page or running a new check replaces the visible result.

My IP account access

My IP does not require sign-in for normal public IP address checks, VPN visibility checks, or quick network troubleshooting.

Before You Use My IP

Review these notes before using a public IP address in firewall rules, VPN checks, remote access notes, or client support tasks.

Privacy

Do not treat a public IP as a private device address; it usually identifies the network path websites can see.

If the address will go into a client ticket or firewall rule, share only the IP and the context needed.

Accuracy

VPNs, proxies, mobile hotspots, corporate gateways, and ISP routing changes can make the visible public IP change between checks.

A public IP lookup does not prove exact location, device identity, or user ownership; it is a network troubleshooting clue.

Compatibility

Some networks use IPv6, carrier-grade NAT, or shared gateways, so the address may not match a single device.

If the browser cannot fetch the result, retry after disabling restrictive extensions or switching to a known working network.

Output

Copy the address into allowlists, access forms, or support notes only after confirming the active network is the intended one.

Recheck the IP after changing VPN regions, moving between networks, restarting a router, or switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data.

Limits

My IP checks the public address visible from this browser session; VPNs, proxies, corporate gateways, and network changes can alter the returned IP.

My IP depends on the external IP lookup service, so network errors, blocked requests, or service downtime can prevent a fresh result.

Questions about My IP

What is my public IP address?

It is the internet-facing address websites and online services can see from your current connection. It is different from a private local network address.

Why did my IP address change after refreshing?

Your ISP, VPN, proxy, mobile network, or office gateway may route the browser through a different public address. Refresh after each network change.

Does My IP require an account?

No. My IP can show the visible public address without sign-in, but you should still avoid sharing the result unless the destination really needs it.

Can this tool show my exact location?

No. This page focuses on the visible public IP address. IP-based location can be approximate and should not be treated as GPS accuracy.
