Your public IP address as seen by websites on the internet. Plus country, ISP, browser and operating system.
About this tool
This shows the public IP address the internet currently sees for you - the one websites, APIs and servers use to identify your connection - along with its country, network and browser details. Use it to confirm a VPN is active, whitelist your address in a firewall, or check whether you are on IPv4 or IPv6.

How to find your IP address
1
Open this page.Just load epulz.io/tools/my-ip in your browser. Your public IP appears instantly in the large box.
2
See your public IP.At the top you see the IPv4 or IPv6 address the whole internet sees you with. Next to it: country, city, ISP/provider.
3
Copy or share.The Copy button puts the IP in your clipboard. Useful when talking to tech support or configuring a firewall.
What is a public IP address?
A public IP address is a numerical identifier that makes your device visible on the internet. Your internet provider (ISP) assigns it, and it is used in communication with servers - every website you visit sees this IP of yours. Local IP addresses (like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) are internal only and the public internet does not see them.
IPv4 vs IPv6 - what is the difference?
IPv4 (e.g. 89.221.213.14) is the older 32-bit format that allows about 4.3 billion addresses - not enough today. IPv6 (e.g. 2a00:1450:400b:803::200e) is 128-bit and provides a practically unlimited number of addresses. Most EU ISPs support both protocols today, but IPv4 still dominates. Our tool shows you the one your browser used for this connection.
Why does my IP change?
Home IPs are usually dynamic - the ISP assigns them temporarily and they change after a router restart or at a set interval. You usually have a static (unchanging) IP only at work, on a server, or if you pay your ISP for it. The IP also changes when switching to mobile data, using a VPN, or connecting to public Wi-Fi.
Is showing my IP private?
Yes. Our interface does not store your IP in any database, does not use tracking cookies, does not transfer data to third parties. We determine the country via a local offline database (dbip.com Lite, no external calls). We determine ISP and city data via the public ipinfo.io in real time, without storing it.
How this page detects your IP
Every connection carries a source IP - the web server simply reads the address of the TCP connection your browser established. If you are behind a router, that address belongs to the shared public side, not to your device; the network translates between them (NAT), which is why all devices at home usually show the same public IP.
When a site sits behind a CDN or reverse proxy, the connecting address would be the proxy's, so the original client IP is passed along in a forwarded header. If your connection supports both IPv4 and IPv6, the browser typically prefers IPv6, so different tools may show you different addresses from the two families.
Common situations
Different tools show different IPs. Usually one shows your IPv6 and the other your IPv4 address - both are yours at the same time. The browser picks per site, depending on which protocol the site supports.
The IP here differs from the WAN address on my router. If the router shows an address from 100.64.0.0/10 (or a private range), your provider uses CGNAT and shares one public IPv4 among many customers. Inbound connections (port forwarding) then need the provider's cooperation or IPv6.
Geolocation shows a wrong city. IP databases typically place an address at the provider's regional hub. The country is reliable, the city is approximate - this is normal and not a privacy fault on your side.
IP Address - Frequently Asked Questions
What is a public IP address and why should I know it?
Your public IP identifies your connection on the internet. You need it when talking to tech support (bank, hosting, e-shop), setting up a firewall, configuring remote access to a NAS, or dealing with a GDPR/log analysis issue.
How can my IP address change?
The IP changes when you restart your router (most ISPs), switch to mobile data, connect via VPN or public Wi-Fi. An ISP with dynamic IP allocation can also re-assign you during operation, although rare.
Is my IP static or dynamic?
Most home connections have dynamic IPs. You usually have static IP at work, on a corporate line, or by paying your ISP extra (often 2-10 EUR/month). If your IP stays the same for weeks after router restarts, it might be static.
Does a VPN hide my IP address?
Yes. With VPN on, our tool shows the IP of the VPN provider's server, not your real one. Country, city and ISP reflect the VPN server location. This is the main purpose of a VPN - to hide your true location from tracking.
Is it safe that websites see my IP?
Generally yes - the IP is publicly visible to every service you communicate with. Main risks: rough geolocation (city level, not street), possibility of IP ban, correlation with other data. For higher privacy, use VPN or Tor.
IPv4 vs IPv6 - which is newer?
IPv6 is the newer format (1998) gradually replacing IPv4 (1981). Main advantage: practically unlimited address count. As of 2026, most ISPs support both in parallel. If you see IPv6 as your address, it is a good sign - you have modern connectivity.
On every check, ePulz.io records the IP your server responded from. The monitor detail shows the full history - IP changes are highlighted (CDN swap, server move).
