Your IP address is a unique identifier assigned to your device when connected to the internet. Visit What's My IP Live homepage to see your current IPv4 and IPv6 addresses instantly, along with your location, ISP, and timezone information.
Simply visit whatsmyiplive.com and your IP address will be displayed automatically on page load. No clicking, no signup required. You'll see both your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (if available) along with geolocation details.
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (like 192.168.1.1) and supports about 4.3 billion addresses. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (like 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334) and supports virtually unlimited addresses. Most devices support both protocols.
Your IP address reveals your approximate location (city/region), ISP, and timezone, but not your exact physical address or personal identity. Websites can see your IP when you visit them. Use a VPN to hide your real IP address if privacy is a concern.
The most effective way to hide your IP address is using a VPN (Virtual Private Network), which routes your traffic through encrypted servers. Other methods include using Tor browser, proxy servers, or mobile hotspots. Test if your VPN is working using our VPN Detection tool.
You have both. Your public IP is what websites see (visible on the internet). Your private IP is used within your local network (like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x). What's My IP Live shows your public IP address that the internet sees.
Most home internet connections use dynamic IP addresses that change periodically when your modem reconnects or your ISP reassigns addresses. If you restart your router, switch networks, or use a VPN, your IP address will change.
Yes, checking your IP address online is completely safe. Your IP is already visible to every website you visit. What's My IP Live doesn't store your IP address or track you beyond basic analytics. We provide privacy-focused tools with no registration required.
