Need to find your public IP address? You're in the right place. Your public IP address is the unique identifier assigned to your internet connection by your service provider. It's what websites and online services see when you connect to them.
* The details listed above are obtained from your public IP address and your Internet browser.
An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique string of numbers that identifies a device connected to a network. There are two main types of IP addresses: IPv4 and IPv6. IPv4 addresses are made up of four sets of numbers separated by dots (e.g. 192.168.0.1), while IPv6 addresses use a longer format with both numbers and letters, separated by colons. (e.g. is 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334) IPv6 was introduced to accommodate the growing number of internet-connected devices, as the supply of available IPv4 addresses becomes limited.
A public IP address is the IP address that your network or device uses to connect to the internet. It is assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and is visible to websites, online services, and anyone else on the web. For example, if you visit a website, your public IP address is how that site knows where to send the page data. You can see your current public IP address listed above on this page.
Most home and business networks use a router to connect multiple devices to the internet. In these setups, the router has a single public IP address assigned by the ISP, and it assigns private IP addresses to each device on the local network. This allows multiple devices - like your laptop, mobile phone, and printer - to share one public IP address through a process called Network Address Translation (NAT).
