This is the public IP address your connection presents to every website you visit — plus your network, location and privacy flags.

Location is an approximate, ISP-level estimate from your IP — it is not your exact address and is often the city of your provider's gateway. Accuracy varies, especially on mobile networks and VPNs.

Worried about your business connection or privacy?
We provide secure business broadband, leased lines, hosted VoIP and managed firewalls across the UK — with static IPs and SLA-backed uptime.
Your public IP address reveals your internet provider (ISP), your network operator (ASN), and an approximate location (usually city/region level). It does not reveal your name, exact home address, or what you do online. Websites, advertisers and online services routinely log it to estimate location, prevent fraud and apply regional rules.
IPv4 vs IPv6
An IPv4 address looks like 203.0.113.42 (four numbers). The newer IPv6 format looks like 2a00:23c6:... and exists because the world ran out of IPv4 addresses. Many UK connections now have both — the card at the top shows whichever your browser used to reach this page, and the IPv4/IPv6 line shows each one detected.
It is the public address shown at the top of this page — the unique number your internet provider has assigned to your connection. Every site you visit sees it. We detect it from your live connection the moment the page loads.
Is it safe to check my IP address here?
Yes. We only read the IP your connection already sends to every website, show you what it reveals, and do not store it, ask you to sign up, or install anything. Your IP is public by design — knowing your own is the first step to understanding your privacy.
Why is the location wrong?
IP-based location is approximate and provider-level. It usually points to the city of your ISP's gateway, not your home. On mobile networks and VPNs it can be a different city or even country. It is an estimate, never your exact address.
How do I hide or change my IP address?
A VPN routes your traffic through another server so sites see that server's IP instead of yours. Restarting your router can change a dynamic IP. Businesses often want the opposite — a fixed static IP for remote access, VoIP and hosting, which we can provide.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 (e.g. 203.0.113.42) is the original format and the world has run out of them. IPv6 is the much larger newer format (e.g. 2a00:23c6:…). Many UK connections now have both; the tool shows each address it can detect.
What is an ASN?
An ASN (Autonomous System Number) identifies the network your ISP runs — for example AS2856 for BT. It is the backbone-level identity of the network carrying your traffic, beneath the consumer ISP brand name.
Does my IP address show my name or home address?
No. It identifies your ISP and approximate area only. Linking an IP to a named person or exact address requires legal process and ISP records — it is not publicly available, and no legitimate tool can provide it.
IP intelligence (ISP, network, approximate location) is provided by ip-api.com. Your IP is detected from your live connection and is not stored by this tool.
