Plain-language guide

What your IP address actually reveals

Your public IP is the return address your internet connection uses when it talks to websites and online services. It can usually identify your internet provider and an approximate city or region. It does not normally reveal your name, street address, passwords or the files on your device.

Several people and devices can share one public IP through a home router, office network or mobile carrier. The address may also change when your router reconnects or when you move to another network.

Common questions

IP address FAQ

Is this my device’s private IP?

No. This page shows the public address used by your internet connection. Private addresses such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x work only inside a local network.

Why is the displayed city wrong?

IP databases map address ranges to network infrastructure and registration records. A mobile carrier, corporate gateway or VPN can appear in a city far from your actual location.

Can someone hack me with only my IP address?

An IP address alone is not a password. It may help someone target exposed services, so keep routers and devices updated, use a firewall and avoid publishing unnecessary network details.

How can I change my public IP?

Reconnect your modem, switch networks, use mobile data, or connect through a VPN. Whether you receive a new address depends on your internet provider.
