What is my IP address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique number assigned to your device so it can send and receive data on the internet. Think of it like a return address on a letter: whenever your browser requests a web page, it tells the website where to send the response. Every device connected to the internet — computers, phones, routers and servers — needs an IP address to communicate.
What is a public IP address?
A public IP address is the address your internet provider assigns to your connection, and it's the one visible to every website and server you communicate with outside your home or office network. A private IP address, by contrast, is used only inside your local network — for example, to let your phone, laptop and printer talk to each other through your router. Your router uses Network Address Translation (NAT) to let every device on your private network share a single public IP address when accessing the internet.
IPv4 vs IPv6
IPv4 is the original addressing system, written as four numbers separated by dots (e.g. 203.0.113.42). It supports about 4.3 billion addresses, which is no longer enough for the number of devices online today. IPv6 is the newer standard, written as groups of hexadecimal digits separated by colons (e.g. 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334). It provides a vastly larger address space and is gradually replacing IPv4 across the internet. Many connections today use both, and which one you connect through depends on your internet provider and network setup.
Is my IP address private?
Your public IP address is not private in the sense that it's visible to any website or server you connect to — that's simply how the internet works. However, it usually doesn't reveal your name or exact address, only an approximate location and your internet provider. The private/local IP address assigned by your router (e.g. 192.168.x.x) stays inside your home or office network and is never visible to the outside internet.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is my IP address?
Your IP address is shown at the top of this page under "Your IP Address." It's the public IP address your device is currently using to connect to the internet, as seen by websites you visit.
How do I find my public IP address?
Simply open this page — Toolbeel automatically detects and displays your public IP address as soon as the page loads. No installation or sign-up is required.
Can websites see my IP address?
Yes. Every website you visit can see the public IP address your connection is coming from, because it's required to route data back to your device. Most websites can also see basic details like your browser and operating system.
Can my IP address reveal my exact location?
No. An IP address can only be used to estimate an approximate location, usually a city or region, based on which internet provider assigned it. It cannot pinpoint your exact address and is far less accurate than GPS.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses use a 32-bit format, like 192.168.1.1, and offer around 4.3 billion unique addresses. IPv6 uses a 128-bit format, like 2001:db8::1, and provides a vastly larger address space for the growing number of internet-connected devices.
Does my IP address change?
Yes, for most home and mobile connections. Internet providers often assign a new IP address periodically or each time you reconnect (a "dynamic" IP). Some connections use a fixed "static" IP that doesn't change.
