IP Checker
Find your public IP address and your approximate location — city, region, country, timezone and internet provider. The location is approximate: it shows where your connection appears to come from, not your exact address.
This tool sends a request to ipwho.is (with ipinfo.io as a fallback) to look up your IP — no data is stored by ToolNest.

Your IP details
Location is approximate and based on your IP address — it can be off by a city or more, especially if you use a VPN, proxy or mobile network.
How to use
- Click Check my IP — the tool looks up your public IP address automatically (it runs once when the page loads too).
- Read your IP address, city, region, country, timezone and internet provider in the result box.
- If the lookup fails, the page shows a clear error instead of guessing — check your connection and try again.
Frequently asked questions
What is my public IP address?
It is the address your internet provider assigns to your connection, visible to every website you visit. It identifies your network on the internet, not your individual device — devices behind a router usually share one public IP.
Why is the location only approximate?
IP location comes from databases that map address ranges to places, and those ranges are registered to your provider's nearest point of presence. VPNs, proxies, mobile networks and corporate connections can place you in a different city or even country.
Is my IP address stored?
Not by ToolNest — this page keeps nothing. The lookup service (ipwho.is, or ipinfo.io if that fails) receives your request in order to answer it, as any IP lookup must; see their privacy policies for how they handle requests.
Why does my IP change sometimes?
Most home connections use dynamic IPs: your provider can assign a new address when your router reconnects or after a lease expires. Business connections and some VPNs use static IPs that stay the same.
