What is my IP address

From this site’s own server, which simply reads the address your request arrived from and sends it straight back. No third-party lookup service is involved, nothing is written to a log, and the answer is not cached.

This is the one thing on all-free-tools a page cannot work out by itself. A browser genuinely does not know your public address — only the computer at the other end of the connection does.

Your router shows a private address, usually starting 192.168 or 10., which only exists inside your own network. The address here is the public one your internet provider gives you, and it is what every website actually sees.

Country here comes from the network your traffic arrives on, not from your device. A VPN, a mobile network or a provider that routes through another city will all move it. It is a rough signal, never a location.

Not on its own, but it is not anonymous either. It identifies your connection, and your provider can link it to your account. Treat it as something worth not posting publicly, rather than a secret.

A VPN or Tor replaces the address sites see with one belonging to the service instead. That moves the trust rather than removing it: the VPN provider then sees what your internet provider would have. Browsers also leak plenty besides the address — the panel above shows roughly how distinctive your setup looks.
