Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IP address?
An IP address is a unique numerical label assigned to your internet connection by your ISP. It allows servers to identify where to send responses when you make a request.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses look like 192.168.1.1 — four numbers separated by dots, with around 4.3 billion possible combinations. IPv6 uses a longer hexadecimal format (e.g. 2001:db8::1) to support a vastly larger address space. Both are detected automatically here.
Is my IP address stored or logged?
No. Your IP is read from the incoming request and returned directly to your browser. It is never written to a database, log file, or any persistent storage.
Why does my IP look like a local or private address?
If you see an address like 172.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x, you are likely accessing this tool from the same network as the server — for example, locally during development. From the public internet, your real public IP will be shown.
Can I use this to find someone else's IP address?
No. This tool only detects the IP address of the device making the request — your own connection. It cannot be used to look up other people's IP addresses.
