Public and private IP addresses
A public IP is the address visible to the internet. It serves a different role from private addresses such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x used within a local network.

Public vs. Private IP and IPv4 vs. IPv6
IPv4 and IPv6
IPv4 uses four groups of numbers separated by periods, while IPv6 uses a longer hexadecimal address separated by colons. Your network determines which one appears.
VPNs and the displayed address
A VPN or proxy routes internet requests through another server. This tool may therefore show the intermediate server's IP address and country instead of your original connection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IP address?
An IP address is a network address used to identify internet-connected devices and exchange data. Websites see the public IP presented by your router or internet provider.
How are public and private IP addresses different?
A public IP identifies a connection on the internet, while a private IP identifies a device inside a home or office network. This page checks the public IP visible to the internet.
Which IP appears when I use a VPN?
When you use a VPN or proxy, the public IP and country of that server appear instead of the original connection IP of your device.
Can my IP address change?
Yes. Yes. Your public IP can change when your provider assigns a dynamic address, you reconnect a router, switch mobile networks, or use a VPN.
Does Congdy Coding store the IP address it checks?
Congdy Coding does not separately store the IP you enter or check. Your browser sends a direct request to an external IP lookup service, which may process standard access logs.
