How to find your IP on any device

The result above is the public IPv4 websites see. Use the steps below when you also need the private address assigned inside your Wi-Fi or office network.

Windows

  1. Use the IPlyte result above for your public IPv4.
  2. For your private IP, open Command Prompt and run ipconfig.
  3. Find the active Wi-Fi or Ethernet adapter and read its IPv4 Address.

macOS

  1. Use this page for the public IPv4 visible to websites.
  2. Open System Settings, select Network, then choose the connected Wi-Fi or Ethernet service.
  3. Open Details and TCP/IP to find the private IPv4 address.

iPhone or iPad

  1. Open this page in Safari to check the connection's public IPv4.
  2. For the private IP, open Settings and Wi-Fi.
  3. Tap the information button beside the connected network and read IP Address under IPv4.

Android

  1. Open this page in your browser to check the public IPv4.
  2. Open Settings, then Network & internet or Connections, and select Wi-Fi.
  3. Open the current network details and find IP address. Menu names vary by manufacturer.

Router

  1. Sign in to your router's administration page.
  2. Open the WAN, Internet, or Connection Status section.
  3. The displayed WAN address may differ from this page when a VPN, proxy, or carrier-grade NAT is involved.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my IP location far from where I actually am?
IP geolocation is an estimate based on network records, not a GPS reading. You may be using a VPN or proxy, or your traffic may exit through a mobile carrier, company network, or ISP gateway in another city. Location databases also take time to reflect network changes.
Why can my public IP address change?
Many home and mobile connections use dynamic IP addresses, so your provider can assign a different address after reconnecting, restarting a router, or over time. A fixed address is usually an optional business or premium service.
Can someone find my exact home address from my IP?
Usually not. An IP lookup can often suggest a country, region, or city, but the exact subscriber address is held by the internet provider and is not exposed by ordinary public IP databases.
Why does my router show a different IP from this page?
A VPN or proxy may replace the address websites see. Your provider may also use carrier-grade NAT, in which case the router receives a shared or private upstream address while many customers use one public IPv4.
Why do IPv4 and IPv6 tools show different addresses?
They are separate protocols, and a dual-stack connection can use both at the same time. IPlyte currently requests your public IPv4, while another service may prefer and display your IPv6 address.
Can I be tracked by my IP alone?
An IP is a coarse network signal, not a personal ID. It can suggest an ISP and approximate area, but addresses change and may be shared. Websites can combine it with account, cookie, and browser data for stronger correlation.
