How to use this tool
Running the lookup connects the browser to api.ipify.org. With a VPN or proxy enabled, the displayed value may be the exit service’s address, so interpret it alongside your current network setup.
Results and examples
Several devices behind the same home router may show the same public IPv4 address. That does not mean their local addresses are identical or that the value uniquely identifies an individual.
Limitations
- External outages, filtering and network restrictions can prevent a result.
- The external service receives the connection’s IP address; this operation is not offline.
