What Is My IP Address?

Your IP address is displayed at the top of this page as soon as you open it. It's the unique number that identifies your device on the internet — like an online return address. Our tool automatically detects your public IPv4 (and IPv6 if available) without requiring any input or download.

Your IP reveals your approximate city, ISP, and connection type — not your name or exact address. However, websites, advertisers, and service providers can use your IP to track browsing behavior, enforce geo-restrictions, and build user profiles across sessions. To prevent tracking, use a proxy or VPN to mask your real IP. Rola IP's residential proxies make your traffic appear as regular home users, reducing the risk of being flagged or tracked.

Country-level accuracy is ~99%, but city-level accuracy ranges from 50-80%. IP geolocation databases map your IP to your ISP's registered service address, not your physical location. Additionally, if you're using a VPN or proxy, the location shown is that of the VPN/proxy server. Rola IP lets you choose your target country and city for precise geolocation needs.

(1) Your ISP registered your IP range in a different city's data center; (2) you're using a VPN or proxy that routes traffic through another location; (3) you're on a mobile network where IPs register at a central switching hub. If you need a specific location, Rola IP proxies provide city-level targeting across 190+ countries.

Yes, via DNS or WebRTC leaks, or an inconsistent browser fingerprint. This page checks all three above.

A VPN encrypts all device traffic and routes it through a single VPN server — good for general privacy but the VPN's IP ranges are well-known and often blocked. A proxy routes traffic at the application level without encryption overhead, offers faster speeds, and supports residential IPs that look like real home users. For business use cases like scraping, multi-accounting, and ad verification, proxies are superior.

A DNS leak occurs when your DNS queries bypass your VPN or proxy tunnel and go directly to your ISP's DNS servers. This exposes the websites you visit and your approximate true location — even if your IP appears masked. This tool checks whether your DNS servers match your visible IP. Rola IP proxies enforce DNS consistency to prevent leaks automatically.

WebRTC is a browser feature for real-time video/audio communication. A WebRTC leak happens when your browser reveals your real local IP address to websites — even while using a VPN or proxy. This is a browser-level vulnerability affecting Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Disabling WebRTC or using RoxyBrowser (which blocks WebRTC leaks by default) is the fix.

Browser fingerprinting is the practice of identifying users based on their browser's unique configuration — screen resolution, installed fonts, timezone, language, OS, and dozens of other signals. Unlike cookies, fingerprints persist across IP changes and incognito modes. RoxyBrowser randomizes these signals, creating fresh profiles for each session to prevent tracking.

Your IPv4 address is the standard four-number address shown at the top of this page (e.g., 203.0.113.45). Most internet connections still use IPv4. If your connection also supports IPv6, both are displayed. Changing your IPv4 address through a proxy or VPN does not automatically change your IPv6 — check both when testing your privacy.

Your private IP address (also called your local IP) is assigned by your router inside your own network — typically in the 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x range. Websites, including this one, only see your public IP. To find it: on Windows run "ipconfig" (look for the IPv4 Address); on macOS open System Settings → Network → Wi-Fi → Details; on a phone, open Settings → Wi-Fi and tap your connected network.

Your public IP on a phone is shown at the top of this page — it's the same whether you're on Wi-Fi or mobile data (though the address itself differs between the two). To find your phone's private IP instead, open Settings → Wi-Fi and tap your connected network; it will be listed as the IP address (typically in the 192.168.x.x range). Remember that websites only ever see your public IP, not your private one.
