Check the IP address this device presents to the site, including its IP version and network scope.
Detecting the current connection IP...
The site reads the source IP for this request. Modern browsers generally do not expose a device's private LAN address to web pages, so this result shows the public address visible to the site whenever possible. Local development may show a loopback or private address.
Overview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
This checker displays the IPv4 or IPv6 address identified for the request reaching the service, along with the address version and whether the returned value is classified as public or local. It can also show basic connection indicators such as online status, secure-connection status, and network information exposed by the browser.
The result describes the network path used for this visit. A router, workplace gateway, mobile carrier network, VPN, or proxy can affect which address a website observes. The observed address can differ from a private address assigned to a device on a home or office network.
Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
Open the page while connected to the network you want to inspect. The current request address is retrieved automatically.
Read the address and its IPv4/IPv6 version. Use the copy control if you need to paste the value into a network diagnostic or support ticket.
Use Refresh after changing networks, switching a VPN or proxy, or reconnecting. Compare the result with the address expected by the service you are troubleshooting.
If the address is unavailable, try again after checking your connection. A network or service path that does not supply a usable client address can prevent the result from loading.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
A support technician can ask a user to read the current request address when diagnosing allowlist or access issues, while remembering that shared gateways may represent many devices.
A user can check the address seen before and after connecting a VPN. A changed result indicates a different observed route, but does not by itself prove that all traffic is protected.
A team member can copy the visible address into a troubleshooting conversation. Avoid treating it as the device’s LAN address when configuring local printers or file sharing.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
The page sees the address associated with the web request, which can be a router, carrier, corporate gateway, VPN, or proxy address. Device settings may show a private network address instead.
Yes. The address can reflect the VPN or proxy route used for the current web request rather than the network path you used before connecting it.
The request may not provide a usable client address, or the connection may be interrupted. Check connectivity and try refreshing.
Notes
Review scope, result limitations, and important precautions before use.
An IP address is network information and can be sensitive in some contexts. Share it only with people or services that need it for troubleshooting.
The displayed value is limited to the address identified for this request. It does not test for malware, verify a VPN, assess firewall settings, or identify the person using a connection.
Network status and connection details depend on the current browser and request. If the address is unavailable, the page may show an error rather than a value.
This page does not perform geolocation, ISP identification, VPN detection, or a security assessment. It cannot establish a person’s physical location from the displayed address.
