About the What Is My IP Address
Every request you make carries a public source address, assigned by your provider or by the VPN you are on. This page reads that address from the connection itself, on our edge, and shows the details Cloudflare attaches to it: whether it is IPv4 or IPv6, the autonomous system number and organisation that announce it, the country, region and city the block is registered to, the time zone, and the protocol and TLS version your browser negotiated.
The location is the network's registered area, not a GPS fix. Mobile carriers register blocks in a central city, and VPNs show their exit point, so a wrong city here is not a fault. What is exact is the address itself, which is what you need for a firewall allow list, a support ticket, or to confirm that a VPN is actually on.
Nothing is looked up from third parties and nothing is stored; the page shows what your own connection reveals. To find the hostname behind an address use IP to hostname, and to see who owns a block use the WHOIS lookup.
How to use
- The address appears as soon as the page loads.
- Press Refresh after switching networks or toggling a VPN.
- Copy the address for an allow list or a support request.
Common questions
- Why is the city wrong?
- The location comes from where the address block is registered, which for mobile carriers and VPNs can be far from you. It is a network location, not a device location.
- Why do I see IPv6 here but IPv4 elsewhere?
- Your connection supports both and the browser preferred IPv6 for this site. Sites without IPv6 see your IPv4 address instead.
- Is my address logged?
- No. It is read from the request that fetches this page and returned to you; the function keeps nothing.
