It is the number that identifies your connection on the internet right now. When your browser asked for this page, the request carried that number with it — and that is what the card shows. If you are on a VPN or a company network, what the internet sees is the IP of that exit, not your device’s.
Nothing runs on your computer and nothing is asked of any outside service. Our server reads the address of whoever knocked, and the country, city and province arrive in the same request, carried by the network that protects the site. That is why it shows in under a second, and why the IP cannot be wrong: it is literally where the request came from.
An IP is a device’s address on the network. Four ideas cover it:
Whoever shows your IP must be the first to respect it. Plainly:
About IP addresses, and about what this page does.
By opening this page. The IP is read from the request your browser made to our server — there is nothing to install, configure or allow.
Two versions of the same protocol. IPv4 uses 32 bits and gives about 4.3 billion addresses, which have run out; IPv6 uses 128 bits and gives a practically unlimited number. What you see on this page is the one your connection used to reach us.
Almost certainly dynamic: that is what providers give home and mobile connections, and it may change on every connection. A static IP is requested from the provider, and is the rule on servers.
With a dynamic IP, turning the router off and on usually gives you another. If you need one that never changes, you have to ask your provider.
Roughly: the country, province and city where your connection exits to the internet. Not your street address, not your name. On a mobile network or a VPN, the city can be hundreds of kilometres from you.
The public one is the address the internet sees, assigned by your provider — the one on this page. The private one belongs to your local network (home or office), like 192.168.1.10, and the same number exists in millions of networks without ever meeting.
The router shows the private IP or the connection’s. If you are on a VPN, a proxy or a company network, what the internet sees is the IP of that exit. This page shows what reaches us — which is what any website sees.
Two devices on the same local network with the same private IP, which cuts one of them off. It usually comes from an IP set by hand. Restarting the router, or letting devices get their IP automatically (DHCP), fixes it.
Try the same site from another network — mobile data, for instance. If it opens, your IP may be on that site’s block list. Talk to whoever runs the site; if it is hosted with us, talk to us.
This page neither stores it nor sends it anywhere: it reads it, shows it, and that is the end of it. The server logs the visit as it logs any visit to any page, under our privacy policy.
