🌐 What Is My IP Address
Find your public IP address instantly. Shows IPv4, IPv6, ISP, and approximate location. Free, no signup — just open the page.
The What Is My IP Address tool instantly displays your public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, approximate city and country with flag emoji, and your Internet Service Provider by querying ipify.org and ipapi.co. Both IP versions are detected simultaneously via separate API endpoints, and each result card has a one-click copy button. A transparency note clarifies that the external lookup services necessarily see your IP during the request — every website you visit can see your public IP address, and a VPN is the only way to mask it.
📋 When to Use the What Is My IP Address
The What Is My IP Address is built for developers who need quick, reliable tools without leaving their workflow. Use it during code reviews, debugging sessions, or when scaffolding new projects. It's ideal for situations where you need a utility fast — pair programming sessions, hackathons, teaching moments, or when working on a machine where you can't install tools. The lookup runs from your browser and queries public IP services (ipify and ipapi) to report your address, so those services necessarily see your IP.
⚙️ How the What Is My IP Address Works
The What Is My IP Address tool runs in your browser and looks up your public IP by calling external services: api.ipify.org for your IPv4 address, api6.ipify.org for IPv6, and ipapi.co for approximate location and network (ISP) details. Because an IP lookup works by having a remote server report the address it sees, these requests necessarily send your IP to those third-party services — your IP is not hidden from them. ToolStand itself stores nothing, and results update in real time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IP address?
An IP address is a unique number assigned to your device on the internet. It allows websites to know where to send data, like a return address on a letter.
What's the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (like 192.168.1.1) and is the most common. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses and was created because we ran out of IPv4 addresses.
Can websites see my real IP?
Yes. Every website you visit can see your public IP address. This tool shows you exactly what information is visible to any site you browse.
How do I hide my IP address?
Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to mask your real IP. Your traffic is routed through the VPN server, showing its IP instead of yours.
