What is my IP address?

Racing 20 independent servers…

IPv4checking…IPv6checking…

Visitors & checks

– people have checked their IP here, all time

Counted once per 20 minutes — a refresh doesn't add.

– checks run, all time

Every race counts — the first load, each “Race again”, each cross-check. This counter stores a number, nothing about you.

Race lanes

Why check it here

One of a kind. We searched and couldn’t find another IP page anywhere that does all of this at once: a live race of 20 independent operators — every millisecond and every cancellation on screen — with a lookup that never touches the site’s own server. Know one that does? Tell us.

The fastest answer available

A single-server checker is only as fast as that one server, right now. Here, 20 independent servers race in parallel and you get whichever answers first — by construction, the fastest response any of them can give. The millisecond timings are on screen, every run.

Private by design

Your browser asks the sources directly — the lookup never passes through this site’s server, so there is nothing for us to log. The only party that learns you checked is the one server that answered.

Verifiable, not a black box

Every lane is drawn live: who was asked, who answered, who was cancelled, and how long each took. Press “Check again” and watch independent operators report the same address.

IP addresses, in plain words

What is an IP address?: The number your connection uses on the internet, assigned by your provider. Every site you visit sees it — it is how the answer finds its way back to you.
Public vs. private — which one is this?: This page shows your public address, the one the outside world sees. The 192.168.x.x-style address on your own Wi-Fi is private and never leaves your network.
IPv4 vs. IPv6 — what’s the difference?: IPv4 is the older, shorter format (203.0.113.7); IPv6 is the newer, longer one (2a00:1450::8a), created because IPv4 addresses ran out. Many connections have both — this page shows each of yours, and “not detected” next to IPv6 simply means your provider hasn’t switched it on.
Why does my address change?: Most home connections get a dynamic address that can change when your router reconnects. A VPN replaces it entirely — run the check with the VPN on and off and you will see two different answers.
What can someone learn from it?: Roughly your country and city, and who your internet provider is — not your name or your exact location. Still, it is the one identifier every site sees, which is why this check asks nothing else about you.
Why 20 servers and not one?: Speed and trust. One server can be slow, down, or simply wrong; twenty independent operators racing give you the fastest answer available — and let you watch them agree.

How it works. Your browser asks 20 servers at the same time. Each of them sees your connection and reports the address it came from. The first to answer wins — and at that moment every other request is cancelled through AbortController. The other address family is then fetched the same way, from family-locked servers only, so IPv4 and IPv6 can never be confused with each other. The request is made from your browser, not from this server, because an IP address is a property of the connection, not of the request: a server asking on your behalf would only get its own address back. No account, no cookies, no tracking — the visitor count stores a one-way hash, never your address. Also here: WebRTC leak test and hardware fingerprint test.
