IP addresses, fingerprints, tracking IDs and logins work too. What they are and how to limit them.

What does an IP address reveal about you?

An IP address is the number your internet provider assigns to your connection. Websites see it on every request, because they need somewhere to send the reply. From it they can usually work out your country and city, and the name of your internet provider. They cannot see your name, street address or what is on your device.

That is still useful to advertisers, who combine it with cookies and browser fingerprints to recognise you across sites. It is also what a VPN changes: the website sees the VPN server's address instead of yours. Read what an IP address is or learn how to hide yours.

Your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are both shown above because most connections now have both. IPv6 addresses are longer and often identify a device more precisely, so they matter for privacy too. If a VPN only covers IPv4, your IPv6 address can leak your real location.

What is my IP location?

The scan results above show the city and region websites guess from your address. It is an estimate based on where your provider routes traffic, so it can be wrong, especially on mobile data or a VPN. Open my IP location for the full detail and an explanation of the common mistakes.

What is my public IP address?

Your public IP address is the one shown at the top of this page. It differs from the private address in your device settings, which only exists inside your home network. Check your public IP to see how the two relate, and whether your provider shares one address between many customers.

Is this website safe?

Before you log in or pay, the website safety checker tests a site's HTTPS, certificate and security settings. It cannot say whether a business is honest, but it spots technical red flags in seconds.

  • Keep your browser and OS up to date.

FAQ

What is my IP address?

Your IP address is shown at the top of this page. It is the public address your internet provider assigned to your connection and the one every website sees when you visit it. If you are on a VPN, it is the VPN server's address instead.

Why do I have both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address?

The internet is moving from IPv4 (like 203.0.113.7) to IPv6 (like 2001:db8::1) because IPv4 addresses ran out. Most connections support both, and your browser uses whichever the website offers. A dash means that address type was not detected, which is common for IPv6.

How accurate is IP geolocation?

IP-based location is an estimate. It is usually right about the country, often right about the region, and frequently points at your provider's local hub rather than your home. Mobile connections are the least precise. Websites cannot get your street address from your IP alone.

How is the privacy score calculated?

The quick score starts at 100 and loses points for each thing a site can learn from your connection: your public IP, a city-level location, your internet provider and your browser details. The full privacy scan adds WebRTC, DNS and fingerprint checks. It is a transparent estimate, not a security audit. See how it works.

Do you store my IP address?

No. We use your IP only to answer your request and do not write it to logs or a database. To look up location and provider we may send it to a third-party geolocation service, and short-lived in-memory counters help us block abuse. Details are in our privacy policy.

How do I find the location of an IP address?

Type the address or a domain name into the IP lookup. It shows the approximate city, the network owner, the registry record and the reverse DNS name. The result is a good estimate, not a street address.

How can I check if a website is safe?

Use the website safety checker to test HTTPS, the certificate and security headers. A good result means the site is well configured, not that it is trustworthy, so also check the address and the business behind it.
