What a public IP is

Your public IP is the address the internet sees when your network makes requests. Home routers share one public IP across every device inside via NAT, while your phone gets a different one on mobile data. Sites, games and APIs use it to route responses back to you.

Why use a keyless API

ipify is a free API that returns your IP as JSON with no key, no signup and no rate games for normal use. Because the fetch happens in your browser, the address never passes through this site's servers at all.

What Is My IP FAQs

Why does my IP change sometimes?
Most home connections use dynamic IPs that your ISP rotates every few days or on router reboot. Business lines and servers usually pay for static IPs that never change.
Is my IP address private information?
Treat it as semi-private. It reveals your ISP and rough city to every site you visit, so avoid posting it publicly, but there is no need to panic about normal browsing.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses look like 203.0.113.45 with four number groups; IPv6 uses eight hex groups and is far longer. This tool shows IPv4, which most home connections still use for outbound traffic.
Can I hide my IP address?
Yes, with a VPN or proxy that routes your traffic through its own servers. Websites then see the VPN's IP instead of yours, at the cost of some speed.
Why does the tool need my click instead of auto-detecting?
Auto-fetching on page load would ping the API for every visitor including bots. A deliberate click keeps usage fair so the free API stays free for everyone.
