What is my IP address?
Your public IP, approximate location, ISP and a map — handy for allow-lists, DNS checks and “where does the internet think I am?” moments.

Client snapshot
Note
- IP is what this server sees (after reverse-proxy headers when present).
- Location is approximate (often city-level) from public IP databases — not precise GPS.
- VPNs and mobile carriers often show a shared egress city, not your home address.
- For a server’s mail reputation, use the blacklist peek.
Why check your IP
Public IP, location and ISP at a glance
Knowing your public IP is a daily ops task: firewall allow-lists, remote desktop, hosting panels, “is the VPN on?”, and debugging which office or mobile network a request comes from. This free what-is-my-IP tool shows the address this server sees, plus approximate location, ISP and a map when geodata is available.
Location is never GPS-precise. IP databases map blocks to cities or regions; VPNs and carrier-grade NAT show shared exits. Use the copy button for allow-lists, then jump to DNS or blacklist tools when the IP belongs to a mail or web server you manage.

FAQ
What is my IP — FAQs
What is a public IP address?
Your public IP is the address the wider internet sees when you visit a website. Home routers and mobile networks share or assign these addresses; this free tool shows the IP that reached jfreemanhub.com (including common reverse-proxy headers when present).
Is the location on the map my exact home address?
No. IP geolocation is approximate — often city or region level from public databases, not GPS. Mobile carriers and VPNs frequently show a shared egress city, not your street. Treat the map as “where the internet thinks this connection is”.
Why does my IP change?
Many ISPs use dynamic addressing, so your public IP can change when the router restarts or the lease renews. Corporate networks and VPNs also replace your home IP with an office or tunnel exit address.
IPv4 vs IPv6 — which do I have?
IPv4 looks like 203.0.113.10; IPv6 is longer and uses colons. Modern networks may use either or both. This page labels the address type this server saw for your request.
When would I need my public IP?
Allow-listing in firewalls, SSH and database access, debugging “which office is this?”, checking DNS or mail reputation for a server IP, and confirming a VPN is actually on. For server mail lists, also try the DNS blacklist peek.
Need DNS, hosting or server access set up?
UK hosting, domains and WordPress care with plain-English support — or a full site build with firewalls and DNS done properly.
