Result appears here after you select
{ } How to use
- Select Process — there is nothing to type.
- Your public IP is shown with its country and its reverse-DNS (PTR) name.
- Switch to Text to copy or download the details.
{ } How it works
What Is My IP Address works on the options you set. Select Process ▸ and it runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server — then shows the result in the Output panel.
Input
- No input — this tool needs no input — just select Process ▸
Output
TXT text — copy or download it from the Output panel.
{ } Common uses
- Check which IP a website or mail server sees when you connect.
- Confirm a VPN or proxy is actually changing your visible address.
- Find the IP to allowlist for a firewall, database or admin panel.
- See whether your connection is reaching the internet over IPv4 or IPv6.
{ } Limitations
- This is the one tool here that cannot run locally — your public address is by definition what a remote server sees, so one request is made to the same public resolver every other tool on this site already uses.
- It shows the address of the connection your browser is using, which behind a VPN, proxy or corporate network is the exit point rather than your device.
- Most home and mobile addresses have no reverse-DNS record; "none published" is normal, not a fault.
{ } FAQ
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your files never leave your device.
Can I process more than one file at once?
This tool works on one input at a time.
Is this tool free?
Yes — it’s completely free and needs no sign-up.
Is my IP address stored?
Not by this site. The lookup is a direct request from your browser to a public resolver, which answers with what it sees; nothing is written down here and there is no account to attach it to.
Why does this differ from the address in my router?
Your router shows the private address on your own network (usually 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x). This shows the public address your traffic actually arrives from, which is assigned by your provider.
Is my lookup private?
Your query is sent to a public DNS resolver to answer it. No files are involved and nothing is stored.
Why might results differ from my computer?
Resolvers cache records for the record’s TTL, so a very recent change can take time to appear everywhere. Use the DNS Propagation tool to compare resolvers.
