Does my IP address expose my exact physical house address?

No. IP geolocation only points to your ISP's nearest routing facility or general city, not your physical street address.

What is My IP Address?

Essential

Instantly check your public IPv4 and IPv6 address, internet service provider (ISP), location, and connection details.

Local Browser Execution: Queries are routed directly through open, standard CORS-friendly IP resolvers. UTL.tools never logs or stores your IP address in any persistent database.

Public Network Identifier: IPv4 (32-bit dotted-decimal) or IPv6 (128-bit hexadecimal)

Understanding Your Results

Your Public IP is the global numeric address assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) visible to external web servers. Geolocation reflects the ISP routing hub, not your physical street address.

Practical Guidance & Next Steps

If using a VPN or proxy, verify that the displayed IP matches your VPN server location. Use the 1-click Copy button to paste into AWS security groups, database IP whitelists, or server configuration files.

What is this?

A diagnostic tool that queries your external public IP address and delivers full network routing context including ASN, ISP name, and geolocation details.

How does it work?

When you load the page, your browser sends a lightweight request to a public IP endpoint, returning your public facing IPv4/IPv6 address and metadata.

Why use it?

Essential for setting up firewalls, whitelisting IPs for cloud servers (AWS/Azure/GCP), verifying VPN tunnel connections, and diagnosing ISP routing problems.

Technical Scope & Calculation Limitations

IP geolocation accuracy is limited to the city or regional ISP datacenter level. It cannot pinpoint exact residential street addresses or personal identities without ISP subscriber logs.

Frequently Asked Questions

A public IP is your global address visible to websites on the internet. A private IP (like 192.168.1.X or 10.0.0.X) is internal to your local home or office router.
