Detecting your public connection...
About this tool
A public IP address identifies the internet connection seen by websites and online services. It may belong to your router, mobile carrier, office gateway or VPN provider rather than to one individual device. This checker reads the connection information available to the FormatForge request and displays location fields only when the hosting network supplies them.
Common use cases
- ✓ Confirm whether a VPN or proxy changed the visible IP.
- ✓ Share an IP with a hosting or firewall administrator.
- ✓ Check whether a mobile connection uses a different public address.
- ✓ Troubleshoot allowlists and remote-access rules.
How to use it
- Open the page from the connection you want to inspect.
- Review the public IP and any available country, region or timezone fields.
- Refresh after connecting or disconnecting a VPN.
- Avoid treating approximate IP location as an exact physical address.
Important interpretation notes
- • Public IP geolocation is approximate and may reflect an ISP gateway.
- • IPv4 and IPv6 availability depends on the visitor network and proxy chain.
- • Do not publish your IP unnecessarily when discussing firewall or account issues.

Frequently asked questions
What is my public IP address?
It is the address that external websites see for your current connection.
Is a public IP the same as my device IP?
Usually not. Home and office networks commonly share one public IP through a router.
Can an IP reveal my exact home address?
No. Public databases normally provide only approximate network location and ISP information.
Why did my IP change?
Many providers assign dynamic addresses. A VPN, router reconnect or mobile-network change can also produce a new IP.
Does this page store my IP?
The tool displays request information for the current response and does not provide a saved history.
Why is location unavailable?
Some development environments and proxy paths do not include geolocation headers.
