Public IP vs. Private IP
Your public IP is the address your internet service provider assigns to your router — it's what the outside world sees. Websites, APIs, and servers log this address when you connect to them. Your devices at home each have a private IP (like 192.168.x.x), which only exists within your local network and is invisible to the internet.
Most home connections share a single public IP across all devices via NAT (Network Address Translation). The IP shown by this tool is the one external services actually see when you make a request.
Common Use Cases
Configuring firewalls and allowlists
Find your current IP to whitelist it in a cloud firewall (AWS Security Group, GCP firewall rule, etc.).
Connecting to a remote server
Share your IP with a sysadmin to get SSH or VPN access granted in minutes.
Checking VPN or proxy routing
Verify that your VPN is connected and routing traffic through the expected country or server.
Geo-restricted content debugging
Confirm which country your IP is geolocated to when testing region-specific features or pricing.
API rate limit troubleshooting
Identify your outbound IP when debugging per-IP rate limits on third-party APIs.
Game server and hosting setup
Find your public IP to set up port forwarding for self-hosted game servers or development tunnels.
