# What Is My IP Address

See your public IP address as the internet sees it, whether this connection uses IPv4 or IPv6, a device-side IPv6 test, and the network your address belongs to.

## Capabilities and processing

The page opens on your public IP address: the source address of your connection to our server, read when the page loads. It names the family (IPv4 or IPv6) and the network the address belongs to: organisation, autonomous system number and country.

An IPv4 connection does not prove IPv6 is missing, because a browser uses one family per connection. The device test, which runs only when you press it, asks a public echo service (api.ipify.org and api6.ipify.org) for your address over IPv4 and over IPv6 separately, from your browser.

## Example workflow

A laptop connects over IPv4 and the page shows its address, for example 203.0.113.7, with its provider. Pressing the device test also reaches the echo service over IPv6, so the page reports that the device has both, and that sites supporting IPv6 usually see the IPv6 address instead. Check again after turning a VPN on or off to see the address change.

## Limits and interpretation

With a VPN, proxy or private relay on, the address shown is its exit, not your router. A failed IPv6 request is inconclusive: the network may lack IPv6, or a blocker or DNS filter may have stopped the request. IPv6 addresses often rotate for privacy. The address is never invented: if it cannot be read, the page says so. Nothing is stored.
