My IP Address

How to check your IP address

Your current IP address is displayed automatically on this page. Click the copy icon to the right of the address to copy it to the clipboard. No registration, installation, or configuration required. 

What the IP checker returns

In addition to your IP, our tool returns a full snapshot of your connection and browser environment:

• Operating system
• Browser and version
• Geolocation (country, region, and city)
• Internet service provider
• Extended browser headers, including X-Forwarded-For, SERVER_PORT, Connection, Accept-Encoding, Upgrade-Insecure-Requests, User-Agent, and more

Dynamic IP addresses

If your IP address changes on each new session, your ISP is assigning dynamic IPs rather than a static address. Our tool always reflects your current active IP. Simply run a check at any point to see the address your connection is using at that moment.

How to change your IP address

Only your ISP can permanently reassign your IP address, but for most use cases, that's not the most practical path. If you need to bypass geo-restrictions, mask your real IP, or secure your connection against unauthorized access, a proxy server is a more effective and flexible solution.

How to change your IP address using a proxy

1. Purchase a proxy server.
2. Configure it in your computer's network settings, browser settings, or via a proxifier (a dedicated application for routing traffic through a proxy).
3. Now your real IP is masked for the duration of the active proxy session. Use the My IP Address tool to confirm the proxy type currently in use.

Anonymous proxies are great for use cases that require masking your real IP address and location. However, the use of a proxy itself remains detectable by the target server.

For complete invisibility (concealing the fact that an intermediary server is in use), use elite proxies. They provide full anonymity with no detectable proxy signal sent to the target.

Who can see your IP address?

Your IP address is not visible to other users in standard messaging or social network interactions. However, it can be accessed by parties with legitimate or unauthorized means of interception. Site administrators, developers, and network operators may have access to server-side traffic logs.

Common vectors through which your IP can be exposed:

• Torrent clients: Your IP is visible in the peer distribution list to anyone sharing or downloading the same file.
• Email headers: Some email providers expose sender IP in message headers; Gmail masks this data, while Yahoo and Microsoft Outlook do not.
• Domain pinging: if you run a site or service from a home server, your IP can be extracted by pinging your domain via the OS command line
• Online gaming: game server administrators have access to the IP addresses of all connected players
• Tracked links: clicking embedded links in text, images, or video can expose your IP to the link owner; this method is used by both advertisers for analytics and malicious actors for targeting
• Wi-Fi access point: anyone with access to your local Wi-Fi network can identify your IP address

Do websites and services see your IP address?

Yes. Every website and web service you visit logs your IP address as part of standard server-side request handling, recording which device connected, from where, and when. Websites retain data in server logs to track visit history across sessions.

When connecting through an anonymous or elite proxy, the target site receives the proxy's IP address rather than your real one. This way, your actual location and identity remain masked for the duration of the session.
