My IP Address

What Is an IP Address and Why Should You Know Yours?

An IP address (Internet Protocol Address) is a unique numerical identifier assigned to every device connected to the internet. It acts like a postal address for your computer, allowing servers to know where to send the requested data. There are two standards: IPv4 (format 192.168.1.1) and IPv6 (format 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e).

Knowing your IP address is important for several reasons. First, when setting up proxy servers, you need to make sure your real IP is hidden. Second, when bypassing geo-restrictions, you need to check which country's IP websites see. Third, system administrators use this information to diagnose network issues.

How Does Our Tool Work?

Our service instantly detects your public IP address that is visible on the internet. Additionally, we show: country and approximate location based on the GeoIP2 database, your browser and version, operating system, screen resolution, and timezone. All data is detected right in your browser — no information is stored on the server.

How to Hide Your IP?

If you want to hide your real IP address, use proxy servers. GProxy offers thousands of anonymous proxies in 100+ countries — starting from $3/day. After connecting a proxy, return to this page and make sure the proxy server's IP is displayed instead of your real one.

FAQ

Can someone find my exact address from my IP? No, an IP only reveals the city and ISP. The exact address can only be disclosed by law enforcement through a request to the ISP.

Does my IP change? If you have a dynamic IP (most home connections), it may change when you restart your router. A static IP remains constant.

What's the difference between external and internal IP? Internal IP (e.g., 192.168.x.x) is used on your local network. External IP is what websites see, and that's exactly what our tool shows.
