What is the difference between a public and private IP address?

Your private IP (like 192.168.1.x) is assigned by your router and only visible within your local network. Your public IP is assigned by your ISP and is visible to the internet. This tool shows your public IP.

Can websites track me using my IP address?

Your IP address reveals your approximate location (usually city-level) and ISP, but not your exact address or identity. Using a VPN replaces your real IP with the VPN server's IP address.

Why does my IP location show the wrong city?

IP geolocation is approximate. Large ISPs may route traffic through a data center in a different city than your actual location, causing the displayed location to differ by tens to hundreds of miles.

What is What Is My IP?

Your public IP address is the address that websites, servers, and APIs see when you make a request from your device. It is assigned by your ISP and can change over time (dynamic IP) or stay fixed (static IP). DailyDevTools' What Is My IP tool shows your current public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, your approximate geographic location, ISP name, and connection details — instantly, with no software needed.
