What is my IP address?
This is the public IP every device on your network shares. Your devices each have a different private IP locally. Read straight from your connection — not logged, no third-party trackers.
IP addresses — common questions
What is my IP address?
Your IP (Internet Protocol) address is the unique number your network uses to communicate on the internet. The address shown above is your public IP — the one websites and services see — which is assigned by your internet provider and shared by every device behind your router (thanks to NAT). Your devices also each have a private IP on your local network (usually 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), which is different.
What is the difference between a public and private IP?
A public IP is globally routable and visible to the internet — it is what this page shows. A private IP (RFC 1918 ranges: 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16) is only used inside your home or office network and is not reachable from the internet. Your router translates between the two with NAT.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses are 32-bit, written as four numbers like 203.0.113.10. IPv6 addresses are 128-bit, written in hex like 2001:db8::1, and exist because the world ran out of IPv4. Many connections now have both; this page shows whichever your browser used to reach us.
Why does my IP address change?
Most home connections use a dynamic public IP that your provider can change periodically or when your router reconnects. Businesses often pay for a static IP that stays the same — useful for hosting services, VPNs and allow-lists. If you need static IPs or a managed connection, Servnet can help.
Does this page track or store my IP?
No. Your IP is read from your own connection to display it back to you and is not logged, stored or shared, and the page loads no third-party trackers. (Reverse DNS, if shown, is a public lookup of your IP’s hostname.) To hide your public IP from sites you visit, use a VPN.
