Understanding your IP address

Every device connected to the internet is assigned an IP (Internet Protocol) address — a numeric label that lets other computers know where to send data back to. The address shown above is your public IP address: the one your router or ISP presents to the wider internet, which is usually different from the private address (like 192.168.1.20) used inside your home or office network.

Your IP address can reveal your approximate ISP and general geographic area, which is how services localise content or estimate your region. It does not, on its own, reveal your name, precise address, or identity — that information is held by your Internet Service Provider and is only disclosed through a lawful request.

Why check your IP address?

For a deeper look at any address — including its network range, allocation holder and RDAP registration record — use the IP address lookup tool.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is IP geolocation?
IP geolocation typically identifies the country and, often, the general region or city associated with the network your connection is routed through — not a precise street address. Accuracy varies by ISP, connection type (mobile networks are often the least precise) and whether a VPN or proxy is in use. Do not rely on it to identify a specific person or address.
Why does my IP address change?
Most home and mobile connections use dynamically assigned IP addresses, which your Internet Service Provider (ISP) can change periodically, when your router restarts, or when you switch networks. Businesses and servers more often use a fixed (static) IP address.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses (e.g. 203.0.113.10) use 32 bits and are written as four decimal numbers. IPv6 addresses (e.g. 2001:db8::1) use 128 bits, giving a vastly larger address space, and are written as eight groups of hexadecimal digits. Most networks today support both side by side.
Does IPTools UK store my IP address?
No. Your IP address is used only to generate the result shown on this page and is not written to a database or shared with third parties by us. See our privacy policy for full details, including how Cloudflare (our hosting provider) processes requests.
