What Is My IP Address?
Check your IP address, detect DNS leaks, test WebRTC privacy, and verify your online anonymity — all for free.
⚠ VPN/Proxy detection is limited without a server-side database. "Unable to verify" means we cannot reliably determine this.
This disguise score is a simplified browser privacy indicator based on observable settings. It is not a guarantee of anonymity or security.

IP geolocation is approximate and may show the location of your ISP, mobile carrier, proxy, or network gateway rather than your precise physical location.
What Is an IP Address?
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a unique numerical identifier assigned to every device connected to the internet. Think of it as a digital mailing address — it allows data to find its way from a server to your device and back. Without IP addresses, the internet as we know it couldn't function.
Every time you visit a website, send an email, or stream a video, your IP address is used to route that data correctly. Your internet service provider (ISP) assigns your IP address, and it changes depending on whether you're at home, at a coffee shop, or using your mobile data.
IPv4 vs IPv6
The original IP addressing system, IPv4, uses 32-bit addresses formatted as four numbers separated by dots (e.g., 192.168.1.1). This provides roughly 4.3 billion unique addresses — which sounded like a lot in the 1980s but is no longer enough for every device online today.
IPv6 was created to solve this shortage. It uses 128-bit addresses formatted as eight groups of hexadecimal numbers (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334). This provides an astronomically large number of addresses — approximately 3.4 × 10³⁸ — ensuring we won't run out anytime soon.
What Can an IP Address Reveal?
Your IP address can reveal several pieces of information, though it's less revealing than many people think:
- Approximate geographic location — typically your city or region, not your exact address
- Your ISP — the company providing your internet connection
- ASN (Autonomous System Number) — the network your connection belongs to
- Whether you're on a mobile, residential, or hosting network
However, an IP address cannot reveal your name, home address, phone number, or exact physical location. IP geolocation is inherently approximate.
What Is a DNS Leak?
A DNS leak occurs when DNS queries bypass your VPN tunnel and are handled by your ISP's DNS servers instead. Even if your traffic is encrypted through a VPN, leaked DNS requests can reveal which websites you visit. This is why DNS leak testing is an important part of verifying your online privacy.
What Is a WebRTC Leak?
WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) is a browser technology that enables voice and video calling directly in your browser. While useful, WebRTC can sometimes reveal your real local IP address to websites, even when you're connected through a VPN. Testing for WebRTC leaks helps you understand whether your browser is exposing network information.
Browser Privacy Basics
Your browser shares more information with websites than you might realize — from your screen resolution and installed fonts to your timezone and language preferences. This combination of data points can create a semi-unique "fingerprint" that websites use to identify you across sessions. Regularly checking your browser's privacy settings and understanding what data it shares is a smart step toward better online privacy.
