Checked in your browser. IP data comes from ipwho.is and ipify, WebRTC uses a Google STUN server. The score is an estimate.

Look up any IP address

Enter an IPv4 or IPv6 address to see its country, city, internet provider and time zone.

The address you enter is sent to ipwho.is to get its location data. Results are approximate and show the network, not a person.

What your IP address reveals

Your IP shows roughly where you are and who your provider is, not who you are.

Websites can see

  • Your approximate city and country
  • Your internet provider
  • Your time zone
  • Whether you use a VPN

Websites can't see

  • Your street address
  • Your name or phone number
  • Pages you read on HTTPS sites
  • Files and messages on your device

Why use a VPN?

A VPN encrypts your traffic and sends it through a server of its own. Websites, Wi-Fi owners and your internet provider see that server, not you.

That keeps your real IP and location private, protects you on public Wi-Fi and stops your provider from logging every site you open. The test above shows whether your connection already does that.

Without a VPN

You→Wi-Fi / ISP→Website

  • The network sees every site you open
  • The website sees your real IP and city

With Atomic VPN

You→VPN server→Website

  • The network sees only encrypted traffic
  • The website sees the server's IP

IP address: common questions

What is my IP address?

Your IP address is the public number websites see when you connect, shown at the top of this page. It usually points to your internet provider and a nearby city, not to your home.

Why does my IP show the wrong city?

IP location comes from databases that often match your provider's equipment, not your home, so the city can be wrong. It is an estimate, never your street address.

Can someone track me by my IP address?

Websites can see your approximate location and provider, usually down to a city or region. Only your provider can tie an IP to your account, and they do not hand that out to websites.

Does incognito mode hide my IP address?

No. Private browsing only stops your browser from saving history and cookies. Websites and the network you use still see your IP address.

How do I hide my IP address?

Connect to a VPN. Websites then see the VPN server's IP instead of yours. Run this check again after connecting to confirm the change.

What is the difference between a public and a private IP?

Your public IP is what websites see and comes from your provider. A private IP like 192.168.x.x only identifies your device inside your home network and is never shown to websites.
