Useful next steps
How What is my IP works
When you press Run, this tool asks the ipify service for the public IP address your connection presents to the internet. Your browser sends two requests directly to ipify, one to api.ipify.org for IPv4 and one to api64.ipify.org, which answers over IPv6 when your network supports it, and lists each distinct address returned. ipify sees your public IP because it receives those requests, as any website would. The result is the address of your router, VPN or proxy, not your device's private LAN address, and it does not show location or ISP details.
Before you start
Decide whether you want to see the address with or without your VPN or proxy, and switch it on or off before you press Run. Browser extensions that block third-party requests can stop the lookup.
A worked example
A test run here returned an addresses list with two IPv4 entries and "source": "ipify", because that connection left through a proxy with more than one exit address. On a typical home connection you see one IPv4 address, plus an IPv6 address if your network has IPv6.
Continue your workflow: IP lookup, DNS lookup.
Common questions
What is the difference between a public and a private IP address?
Your public IP is the address websites see, usually assigned to your router by your internet provider. Private addresses, such as those starting with 192.168, 10, or 172.16 to 172.31, work only inside your local network. This tool shows the public one; your device's network settings show the private one.
Why do I see two IP addresses?
The tool asks two ipify endpoints and lists every different answer. Most often you get one IPv4 and one IPv6 address because your connection supports both. You can also see two IPv4 addresses when a proxy, VPN or mobile carrier sends the two requests through different exit points.
Does my public IP address change?
Often, yes. Many home and mobile connections get a dynamic address that can change when the router restarts, the provider reassigns it or you move between networks. Wi-Fi and mobile data also give you different public addresses. Run the tool again after a change to see what websites see now.
Why does the result show my VPN's address, or nothing at all?
Websites, including ipify, see the address of the last hop before the internet. With a VPN or proxy on, that is the VPN server, which is the point of using one. If the address list comes back empty, both requests failed, often because an extension, firewall or network filter blocked ipify.
