How to read your IP lookup

Every connection to the internet leaves from a public address. That address is what websites log, what blocklists record and what geo-restrictions check.

Address
Websites see IPv4 or IPv6, depending on what both ends support. If you see both, either one can identify you.
Location
An estimate from address registration data. Treat the country as reliable and the city as a guess.
Network
The company the address belongs to, and its ASN: the number that identifies its network on the internet.
Network type
Hosting means a cloud or datacenter range. Many sites rate those as higher risk than home or mobile addresses.
Blacklists
Public spam lists checked live. A listing on one list rarely matters; several at once usually explains blocked email or extra captchas.

To change what websites see, route your traffic through a VPN, a proxy or a server of your own, then look up the new address here to confirm.

Questions

What is my IP address?

Your public IP address is the address websites see when you connect. It belongs to your internet provider, mobile carrier, VPN or proxy, not to your device. This page shows the one your connection is using right now.

Why do I have both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address?

Most networks now run both. Your device picks one per connection, usually IPv6 when the site supports it. Websites can see either, so it is worth knowing both.

How accurate is IP location?

Country is usually right. City is often wrong by tens of miles, and mobile and VPN addresses can show another region entirely. Location databases are estimates built from network registrations, not GPS.

What does "hosting or datacenter" mean?

The address belongs to a cloud or hosting company rather than a home ISP or mobile carrier. Some websites treat these addresses with more suspicion. We judge it from the network owner's name, so treat it as a strong hint, not a certainty.

Why is my IP on a blacklist?

Blacklists record addresses that sent spam or attacks. A shared or recently reassigned address can be listed because of a previous user. Each list has its own removal page; most delist automatically once the activity stops.

Can I change my IP address?

Yes. A VPN, proxy or a server of your own sends your traffic from a different address. Residential and mobile proxies use addresses that look like ordinary home and phone connections.

Need an address in another country? Residential and mobile proxies, with a free trial. Or a VPS with its own dedicated IP.
