About the IP address checker
The address visible to this site
The page calls the my IP API, where the server reads the client IP from the request and returns it to the browser. If you are behind a VPN, proxy, carrier network, or corporate gateway, the result is the public address visible from that network path.
Approximate GeoIP location
Location, region, country, time zone, and map coordinates come from a GeoIP database lookup. That data is approximate and can point to your ISP, VPN exit, or network gateway rather than your exact physical location.
Map view and privacy boundary
The map panel renders the returned coordinates with public OpenStreetMap tiles. The tool does not ask for GPS permission or store a profile, but an IP lookup necessarily uses request metadata because that is the signal being displayed.
FAQ
Common questions and answers about this topic.
Is this my public IP or my private/local IP?
The tool shows the public-facing IP address this site sees in your request. It does not show the private or local address assigned to your device inside a home or office network, such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x.
Will a VPN or proxy change the IP and location shown?
Usually, yes. With a VPN or proxy, the site normally sees the exit server or gateway IP instead of the address assigned directly by your internet provider. The approximate location may therefore match that exit point. Carrier and corporate networks can have a similar effect.
How accurate is the IP location?
It is only an estimate from a GeoIP database. The city, region, country, time zone, and map coordinates can be incomplete or inaccurate and may point to an ISP, VPN exit, or network gateway. This is not GPS positioning and does not identify your exact physical location.
Can my IP address reveal my exact home address?
No. This tool cannot derive a street address or pinpoint your home from the IP alone. The map shows only an approximate network location from GeoIP data, which may be elsewhere in your city or region.
What does this site see and process to show the result?
Your browser calls this site's API, and the server reads the client IP attached to that request. It uses a GeoIP database to look up approximate geographic fields, then returns the IP and any available GeoIP result to the page. The tool does not ask you to enter personal details or grant GPS permission.
