About My Address IP
Last updated: 22 September 2026
My Address IP is a single-purpose tool. You open it, and it shows you the public IP address your connection is using right now. That is the whole product, and we would like to keep it that way.
What the site does
When you load the homepage, our server reads the address your connection arrived from and writes it directly into the page. There is no waiting and no extra request: the address is already there when the page appears. A copy button puts it on your clipboard in one tap.
Alongside it, we show what we can determine reliably about the connection — the IP version, the network operator and its ASN where available, and an approximate location. Anything we cannot establish is shown as “Not available” rather than guessed at.
What we mean by approximate
Location fields come from IP geolocation data, which maps address ranges to general areas. It is reasonably reliable at the country level and progressively less so below that. It does not identify a street, a building or a device position, and it is frequently off by a city or more — particularly on mobile connections, business networks and VPNs. We say “approximate” because it genuinely is.
How we handle your data
Your IP address is used to answer your request and nothing else. We do not keep visitor logs of our own, we do not build profiles, we do not fingerprint browsers, and we run no analytics or advertising scripts. There are no accounts and no database of visitors. The privacy page explains this in detail, including the one short-lived, hashed counter we use to limit abuse of the API.
Why it is fast
The site is plain HTML, one small stylesheet and one small script. No frameworks, no web fonts, no tracking pixels, no third-party requests of any kind. Fewer moving parts means a page that loads quickly on a slow connection and does not need your permission for anything.
The API
The same detection is available as JSON at /api/ip.php, which returns your address, its version and the same network and location fields shown on the homepage. It is intended for light personal use, such as a quick check from a terminal, and is rate limited to keep it available for everyone.
Accuracy and limitations
We show the address of the connection this page was loaded over. If your network supports both IPv4 and IPv6, you may see either one depending on which your browser chose for this request. Reloading over a different network — mobile data instead of Wi-Fi, for example — will normally show a different address, which is expected rather than an error.
If something looks wrong, it is usually one of these: a VPN or proxy is in use, your provider routes traffic through equipment in another city, or the geolocation data for your range is simply out of date. We report what we can determine and we mark the rest as unavailable.
