IPv4
192.0.2.1032 bits, written as four numbers such as 192.0.2.10. There are only about 4.3 billion, so homes usually share one public address between all devices through the router (NAT).

IPv4 and IPv6 — two generations of addresses
Most connections today have an IPv4 address, and many also have an IPv6 address. They are separate addresses, and a website can see either one.
IPv6
2001:db8::10128 bits, written in hexadecimal such as 2001:db8::10. There are enough for every device to get its own public address, without NAT.

Where the data comes from
Routing, registry and location data are downloaded from public sources and compiled into indexes on our own server. DNS and registration records are queried live from the responsible servers when you ask. Each field on a result page shows its source.
Data sources and statusPrivacy
Your IP address is used to answer your request and is not written to our logs or databases. We don't keep a lookup history and set no tracking cookies. The hosting infrastructure in front of the application may keep short-lived access logs.
Privacy PolicyFrequently asked questions
What is a public IP address?
It is the address your connection uses on the internet. Every website you visit sees it. At home it usually belongs to your router, which shares it between all your devices.
Why is the location wrong?
IP location is an estimate of where an address block is used, often where the provider's equipment is. It is usually right about the country and often wrong about the city. It cannot locate a person or a street address.
Why don't I have an IPv6 address?
Your internet provider, your router or the network you are on doesn't offer IPv6, or it is switched off. Websites then reach you over IPv4 only, which still works normally.
Does my IP address change?
Many home and mobile connections get a new address now and then, for example when the router restarts. Some subscriptions include a fixed address.
Can someone find me with my IP address?
Not from the address alone. It shows the network and an approximate area. Only your internet provider can link an address to a subscriber, and only shares that under legal process.
Is my private IP address the same as my public one?
No. Your device's address on the home network (often 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) is private and is not visible on the internet. This page shows the public address.
