IP Address Lookup

About this tool

This page shows you your public IP address — the address the rest of the internet sees when your traffic leaves your network. To find it, the page makes one request to the ipify API (api.ipify.org), a free third-party service that simply echoes back the IP the request came from. That's the only data sent, and it's unavoidable: your public IP can only be observed from outside your network, so it can't be determined locally. SolidUtils doesn't store or log the result.

Use Copy IP to put the address on your clipboard with one click, or Refresh to fetch it again. Below the IP, the Local Browser Info grid lists details your browser reports about itself — user agent, language, screen size, timezone, CPU cores, and more. That section is read entirely from your browser with no network request.

When to use it

• Setting up remote access, port forwarding, or a firewall allowlist that needs your current public IP.
• Checking whether a VPN or proxy is actually active — the IP shown should belong to the VPN, not your ISP.
• Confirming your ISP rotated your address after a router restart, or troubleshooting with a support tech who asks for your IP.

Public IP vs. local IP

The address shown here usually isn't the address your computer uses at home. Your router typically holds one public IP for the whole household, while each device gets a private address like 192.168.1.x that's only meaningful inside your network. Everyone on your Wi-Fi will see the same public IP on this page. To find a device's private address, check your operating system's network settings — no website can tell you that.

Frequently asked questions

Does this page send my data anywhere?

It makes a single request to api.ipify.org to learn your public IP — that request necessarily reveals your IP to ipify, the same way visiting any website does. Nothing else is transmitted, and the browser info grid is generated locally without any network call.

Why does my IP address keep changing?

Most home internet plans use dynamic IPs, so your ISP can reassign your address after a modem restart or on a schedule. On mobile data it can change as you move between towers. Only static-IP plans keep the same address permanently.

Can someone find my exact location from my IP?

No. IP geolocation typically resolves to your city or region at best, and it's often wrong by many miles — it points at your ISP's infrastructure, not your house. Your street address is not derivable from an IP without your ISP's records.

Why do I see a different IP than my computer's settings show?

Your computer's settings show its private address on the local network (often 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x). This page shows the public address your router presents to the internet. Both are correct — they're just measured on different sides of your router.
