IP Address Lookup
Look up a public IPv4, IPv6 address or domain to see its resolved IP, approximate location, ISP, organization and ASN.
Open tool →WebRTC Leak Test
Check whether WebRTC exposes another public or local network address to websites.
Open tool →IPv6 Test
Check whether your browser can connect over IPv6 and see the address used for that route.
Open tool →VPN & Proxy Check
Review whether the current address resembles a VPN, proxy, or hosting network.
Open tool →Browser Privacy Check
Review browser settings and device signals that can contribute to online identification.
Open tool →Internet Speed Test
Measure ping, jitter, download and upload performance between your browser and this IP Lens server.
Open tool →Open Port Checker
Check whether a TCP port on your public IP address is open and reachable from the internet.
Open tool →DNS Lookup
Look up A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, SOA and CAA records for any domain name.
Open tool →WHOIS Domain Lookup
See who registered a domain, when it was created and when it expires, using the official RDAP registry data.

Mesh Wi-Fi vs. Range Extender vs. Access Point: How to Fix Dead Zones
Extenders are cheap but often halve speed; mesh systems roam smoothly; wired access points give the best result when you can run a cable. Placement matters as much as the product.
Why Is My IP Address Blocked or Getting Endless CAPTCHAs? IP Reputation Explained
Websites judge visitors partly by the reputation of their IP address. Shared, VPN or abused addresses get more CAPTCHAs and blocks, often through no fault of yours.
What Is DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and DNS over TLS (DoT)? Encrypted DNS Explained
Normal DNS queries travel in plain text, so the network can read or change them. DoH and DoT encrypt those queries between your device and the resolver you choose.

Your router guards every device in the home. Changing a few default settings and checking for open ports closes the gaps attackers scan for most often.

Scam links rely on urgency and look-alike domain names. Reading the real domain, checking when it was registered and never entering codes from a link stops most attacks.

When a submarine cable is cut or under repair, traffic to overseas servers is squeezed onto fewer routes. Local sites stay fast while foreign services slow down, and the fix is mostly patience plus a few smart workarounds.
Explained
What is my IP address and what does it say about me?
What is a public IP address?
Your public IP address is the address the rest of the internet sees when you visit a website, play a game or send a message. It is assigned by your internet service provider (ISP), such as your home broadband or mobile carrier, and it is shared by every device behind your router.
Inside your home, each phone or laptop also has a private IP address (for example 192.168.1.10). Private addresses are never visible to websites; the page above shows the public address your router uses on the internet.
IPv4 vs IPv6
IPv4 addresses look like 203.0.113.45 and only about 4.3 billion of them exist, so ISPs often share one IPv4 address between many customers (CGNAT). IPv6 addresses look like 2001:db8::1 and are practically unlimited, so each device can have its own.
Many connections have both. IP Lens shows the version your browser used for this visit and checks whether IPv6 is available, which matters for gaming, VPN leak protection and future-proof networking.
What can someone learn from my IP address?
An IP address reveals your ISP, its network number (ASN) and an approximate location, usually the city or region where your provider registers the address. It does not reveal your name, street address or browsing history.
Only your ISP can link an IP address to a subscriber, and it normally does so only with a legal request. Websites still use your IP for rate limiting, fraud detection, regional content and analytics.
Why does my IP address change?
Most home and mobile connections use dynamic IP addresses that change when your router restarts, your lease expires or you move between Wi-Fi and mobile data. Businesses can ask their ISP for a static IP that stays the same.
How to hide or change your IP address
A VPN or proxy replaces your public IP with the address of its server, so websites see the VPN location instead of yours. Tor routes traffic through several volunteer relays. Restarting your router may also give you a new dynamic address.
After connecting a VPN, reload this page: the IP, ISP and location should change. Then run the WebRTC leak test and the privacy check to make sure your real address is not exposed by the browser.

What your IP address can reveal
Your public IP helps websites send data back to your connection. It can indicate a network provider and approximate area, but it does not normally identify your exact home or a person by itself.
Explore privacy guides →Can my IP reveal my exact location?
No. IP geolocation is approximate and can be wrong, especially on mobile networks, corporate gateways, VPNs and proxies.
How can I hide my public IP?
A trusted VPN or proxy can present its address to websites, but the provider may still process connection information.
Does IP Lens store my address?
Yes, in encrypted form. Your IP address is stored encrypted (AES-256) so the site administrator can review recent visits and stop abuse; only the logged-in administrator can view it. Traffic statistics themselves use a daily rotating anonymous key. See the Privacy Policy for details.
