What Is My IP Address?

Most home connections use a dynamic IP that your provider can reassign — typically when the router reconnects or after a lease of hours to weeks. Mobile data changes more often; a static IP never changes. Reload this page to see your current address.

On the same Wi-Fi, yes: every phone, laptop and TV shares the router's one public IP, while each has its own private 192.168.x.x address. On mobile data each device gets its own address from the carrier.

No. 192.168.1.1 is a private address — usually your router's admin page — that only works inside your own network. Your public IP, shown at the top of this page, is a different address assigned by your provider.

Open this page in your phone's browser: the address shown is your phone's public IP — the carrier's on mobile data, the router's on Wi-Fi. The private Wi-Fi address is under Settings → Wi-Fi on iPhone and Android.

Your IPv6 address is the long hexadecimal one, with groups separated by colons like 2001:db8::1, shown in the IPv6 row above when your connection supports it. If none was detected, your provider or router has not enabled it; the IPv6 test checks in detail.

Roughly: an IP usually reveals your country, region and city — the area on the map above — and your provider. It does not reveal your street address, name or GPS position; only your provider can tie an IP to a subscriber, and only under a legal order.

Your IP is visible to every site you connect to — that is how the internet works, and by itself it is not secret. It traces back to your provider and approximate city, not to you personally. The risks come from pairing it with other data or from an address landing on a blocklist; the checks on this page cover the common cases.

A public IP is assigned by your provider, is unique on the internet and is what websites see — the address at the top of this page. A private IP is assigned by your router to each device at home (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.16–31.x.x) and is reused in millions of homes; NAT connects the two.
