Lily's privacy guide
Your public IP is visible right now. If you want websites to see a VPN server instead, use a provider with leak protection and verify the result after connecting.

IP Address Lookup
Lookup Tool
Enter a domain name to look up its records including A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, and CNAME records.
What your IP address reveals
Every time you visit a website, your device shares its public IP address with that site. This is how the internet routes data back to you, but it also means anyone running a server can see your IP. From that single number, observers can typically determine your approximate city or region, your ISP and ASN, and whether you are connecting through a VPN, proxy, or Tor exit node.
Your IP alone does not reveal your exact street address or identity, but combined with other signals like browser fingerprinting, cookies, and DNS queries it contributes to a surprisingly detailed profile. That is why checking your IP is the first step in any privacy audit. Once you know what is visible, you can decide what to protect.
IPv4 vs IPv6
Most connections still use IPv4 (e.g., 203.0.113.45), but IPv6 adoption is growing. IPv6 addresses are longer and can sometimes leak your real location even when a VPN is active. Learn the difference.
Public vs private IP
Your router has a public IP visible to the internet and assigns private IPs (like 192.168.x.x) to devices on your local network. Only the public IP appears in the result above. Read more about public vs private IP.
VPN and proxy detection
If you are using a VPN, the IP shown should belong to your VPN provider, not your ISP. If it still shows your real ISP, your VPN may be leaking. Verify your VPN.
DNS and WebRTC leaks
Even with a VPN, DNS requests or WebRTC connections can bypass the tunnel and expose your real IP. Run our WebRTC leak test and check DNS with a resolver-aware test, as our DNS leak test guide explains.
If you want the clearest next steps after checking your result, move through the IP/privacy path: read why your IP location can look wrong, learn what someone can actually do with your IP, compare public vs private IP, and then decide how to hide your IP.

IP address FAQ
How can I find my public IP address?
Use the checker above to find your public IP address instantly. It shows the IP that websites see when you connect online.
What is my public IP vs local IP address?
Public IP is what websites see on the internet. Local IP is assigned by your router to devices inside your home or office network.
How does this IP address lookup tool work?
We detect your IP and show IP location data like city, region, country, ISP/ASN, and timezone based on public IP databases.
Does this show IPv4 and IPv6?
Yes. The tool supports both IPv4 and IPv6 and displays the version in your result card.
Is IP geolocation accurate?
IP location is usually accurate to the city or region, but it cannot reveal an exact street address.
Why can two IP lookup tools show different cities?
IP geolocation providers update their databases on different schedules and may map an address to an ISP gateway instead of your device. Compare the country, ISP, ASN, and network type before trusting a city label.
Can this IP tracker identify a person or home address?
No. IP Trackers shows public network context such as approximate location, ISP, ASN, and routing clues. It does not identify a person, exact street address, or private account owner.
Does my IP address change?
Most home connections use dynamic IPs that can change over time or after restarting your router.
How can I change my IP address?
You can change your visible public IP by restarting your router, switching networks, or using a VPN/proxy. Results depend on your ISP and network type.
