Why different from router WAN IP?

Proxies, VPN tunnels, or mobile relays change the observed egress address.

City-level geoIP is often wrong near borders or for mobile carriers.

IPv6 privacy extensions?

Temporary addresses rotate; expect changes over time.

Note: This is an approximate location (within 5-50km radius). The pin shows the general area, not your exact address.

Location Accuracy & Privacy

Important: The city and location shown are approximate, not your exact location. IP geolocation typically provides city-level accuracy within a 5-50 kilometer radius of your actual location.

Why the city might not be exact:

The location shown is usually your ISP's server location, not your physical address
IP geolocation databases map IPs to general areas, not precise coordinates
Mobile networks and VPNs can show different locations
Accuracy varies by region (urban areas are more accurate than rural)

Privacy Note: This tool cannot determine your exact street address or precise location. The coordinates shown are approximate and represent the general area of your ISP's infrastructure.

About IP Addresses

Your IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique identifier assigned to your device when you connect to the internet. It's used by websites and services to identify your approximate location and deliver content. This tool shows your public IP address and associated geolocation information.

IPv4: The most common IP address format (e.g., 192.168.1.1)

IPv6: The newer IP address format designed to replace IPv4 (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334)

Privacy: Your IP address reveals your approximate location and ISP. Use a VPN to hide your IP address and location if needed.

What is my IP address? Networking, VPNs, and geolocation caveats

Your public IP is how servers on the internet route responses back to your home or office NAT. Developers use IP checks to validate reverse proxies, geoblocking rules, and split-horizon DNS. Remember: geolocation databases are approximate and lag reality.

VPNs and carrier-grade NAT can show unexpected egress IPs compared to what local `ifconfig` displays.

Practical tips

Compare IPv4 vs IPv6 paths if your service dual-stacks.
Log IP plus ASN when debugging abuse, not IP alone.
Do not treat IP as stable identity—CGNAT rotates pools.
Respect privacy laws when storing IPs.
