Quickly find your public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and geolocation information with our free online tool.
An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. It serves two main functions: identifying the host or network interface, and providing the location of the host in the network.
Your public IP address is the address that identifies your network on the internet. It's assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and is visible to websites and online services you visit.
The original IP address format, consisting of four sets of numbers separated by dots (e.g., 192.168.1.1).
With only about 4.3 billion possible addresses, IPv4 addresses are becoming scarce.
The newer IP address format, using eight groups of hexadecimal digits separated by colons.
IPv6 provides an almost unlimited number of addresses and is gradually replacing IPv4.

Knowing your public IP address and geolocation can be useful for various reasons:
Remote Access: Setting up remote access to your home network or devices
Troubleshooting: Diagnosing network connectivity issues
Security: Verifying your online anonymity when using VPNs or proxies
Gaming: Setting up game servers or fixing connection problems
Development: Testing geolocation features or region-specific content
Travel: Confirming your virtual location when accessing region-restricted content
IPv6 Readiness: Checking if your internet connection supports IPv6, which is becoming increasingly important as IPv4 addresses are exhausted
