Frequently Asked Questions About IP Addresses
How do I find my IP address?
Simply visit this page and your IP address will be automatically displayed at the top. No additional steps required! We'll also show your location and connection details.
What's the difference between my IP address and my router's IP?
Your public IP address (shown here) is assigned by your ISP and visible to the internet. Your router's IP is the private address used within your home network (usually starts with 192.168 or 10.0).
Can I change my IP address?
Yes! You can change your IP address by restarting your router, contacting your ISP for a static IP, or using a VPN service to mask your real IP with a different one.
Is it safe to share my IP address?
While IP addresses aren't highly sensitive, they can reveal your general location. Be cautious about sharing your IP publicly, especially on forums or social media.
Why does my IP location show the wrong city?
IP geolocation is approximate and may show your ISP's location rather than your exact address. This is normal and actually provides some privacy protection.
