What is my IP

Q: Why do I see a different IP when using a VPN or proxy?

A VPN, proxy, or CDN changes the public IP that the internet sees. The tool reports the IP visible to external servers right now, which can differ from the one your home ISP assigns to your router.

Q: Can I use these IPs for firewall allowlists?

Yes. If you need access through a firewall, provide the IP shown above (or both IPv4 and IPv6 if you have them). Just avoid changing networks (VPN on/off, mobile data, different Wi-Fi) after you send the IP.

Q: What does “Public” or “Private/Reserved” mean?

It indicates whether the IP is routable on the Internet. Private ranges (e.g. 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x) are only inside local networks. Public IPs are the ones reachable from outside and used for allowlists.

Q: My IP changes often. How can I get a static IP?

Residential connections usually have dynamic IPs. Ask your ISP if they offer a static IP (sometimes paid) or use a Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service to map a hostname that updates automatically.

Q: Why are the country or reverse DNS incorrect?

GeoIP and reverse DNS rely on provider databases. If you use VPN/Proxy/CDN, the reported location may be that of the intermediate server. Some IPs move between regions faster than the databases get refreshed.

What Is My IP – Quickly find your public IP address

The public IP address is the address that servers and online services see when you connect to the Internet. If you are using a VPN, proxy, or CDN, the reported IP address may differ from your direct connection.

Use the IP shown below when requesting firewall access, configuring security filters, or investigating why a service is blocking you.
