About What Is My IP & Network Tester
Shows everything a site can work out about you the moment you connect: the address itself, where it geolocates to, which provider and autonomous system route to you, and how fast the link looks. It also flags the timezone mismatch that gives away a VPN, and separates what had to be looked up remotely from what was read locally on your device.
See your public IP address, basic connection profile and latency without installing anything. It is the quick way to confirm what address the internet sees you from, check whether a VPN is active, or sanity-check connectivity.
Lookups run from your own browser session, so you get an accurate view of your current network without third-party software. Refresh any time your connection changes.
A public IP address is what the internet routes replies to, so every site you visit necessarily sees it. What it reveals is narrower than people assume and wider than they would like: an internet provider and an approximate location, where city-level is often roughly right and street-level is not. Geolocation databases map ranges to places, and those mappings go stale, sometimes point at a provider's regional hub rather than the customer, and occasionally are simply wrong.
The address you see here usually is not permanent, and may not even be yours alone. Most residential connections receive a dynamic address that changes when the router reconnects or the provider's lease expires. Mobile and an increasing number of fixed connections sit behind carrier-grade NAT, where hundreds of subscribers share one public address — which is why an IP-based block sometimes catches people who did nothing, and why treating an address as identifying a person rather than a connection is a mistake.
Common use cases
- Confirming a VPN or proxy is actually active before doing anything that depends on it.
- Finding the address to give an administrator for a firewall or access allowlist.
- Checking whether your provider has changed your address after a router restart.
- Sanity-checking latency when a video call or game feels worse than usual.
- Verifying what location a website is likely inferring about you.
