Detecting your IP address…
What Is My IP Address?
Every device connected to the internet is assigned an IP (Internet Protocol) address - a unique numeric label that identifies it on the network. Your IP address is visible to every website and service you connect to and reveals information about your approximate location, internet provider, and connection type. This tool instantly shows you the public IP address your device is using right now, along with detailed geolocation, ASN, and risk data.
IPv4 vs. IPv6 - Dual‑Stack Detection
There are two versions of the Internet Protocol in use today. IPv4 addresses look like 192.168.1.1 and use 32 bits, providing roughly 4.3 billion unique addresses - a pool that has been fully exhausted. IPv6 addresses look like 2001:db8::1 and use 128 bits, offering a virtually unlimited address space (340 undecillion addresses).
This tool acts as both an IPv4 checker and an IPv6 tester. It sends parallel requests through dedicated IPv4‑only and IPv6‑only endpoints to detect whether your network supports dual‑stack connectivity. If both addresses are shown above, your ISP and device support both protocols. If only IPv4 appears, you don’t yet have IPv6 connectivity - which is increasingly common and important for modern internet access.
IP Geolocation & ASN Lookup
For every IP address you look up, PrivKit resolves its geographic location (country, city, region, coordinates, timezone) and its network identity - the Autonomous System Number (ASN), organization name, and connection type (ISP, business, hosting, or education). This data is sourced from MaxMind GeoLite2 databases and enriched with our own ASN intelligence.
IP Risk & Reputation Assessment
Each lookup includes a real‑time risk assessment. We check whether the IP is a known Tor exit node, an open proxy, a VPN endpoint, or part of a hosting/datacenter range. The result includes a reputation score from 0 to 100 and any blacklist hits. This helps you understand how websites and anti‑fraud systems perceive your connection.
Why Check Your IP Address?
- Privacy audit - See exactly what information your IP exposes to websites, advertisers, and trackers.
- VPN & proxy verification - Confirm that your VPN or proxy is working and your real IP isn’t leaking.
- IPv6 readiness test - Check whether your network supports IPv6, which is essential as the world transitions away from IPv4.
- Network troubleshooting - Verify which public IP your traffic exits from, useful for diagnosing firewall, NAT, or routing issues.
- Security research - Investigate any IP for Tor, VPN, proxy, hosting flags, and blacklist history.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a website see my real IP if I use a VPN?
A properly configured VPN replaces your real IP with the VPN’s exit IP. However, DNS leaks, WebRTC leaks, or misconfigured split‑tunneling can expose your true address. Use PrivKit’s DNS Leak Test and IPv6 Leak Test to verify.
What does “Not detected” mean for IPv6?
It means your browser could not reach our IPv6‑only endpoint, indicating your ISP or local network does not provide IPv6 connectivity. This is normal - as of 2025, global IPv6 adoption is approximately 45%.
How accurate is IP geolocation?
Country‑level accuracy is typically above 99%. City‑level accuracy varies between 50–80% depending on the ISP and region. VPN and proxy users will see the exit server’s location, not their physical location.
