What is my IP address?

This is the address websites and services see when you connect. Without a VPN it's tied to your internet provider and rough location.

Your public IP address
216.73.216.233

IPv6: checking…

How to use the what is my ip address?

  1. Open this page — your public IP is detected automatically.
  2. Read your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and approximate location.
  3. Connect vpn.golf and reload to confirm the IP changes to the exit hole's.

What your IP reveals

Your IP address exposes your approximate location (city/region), your internet provider, and a stable identifier sites can use to recognize you across visits. With vpn.golf active, this page would show the exit hole's address instead of yours.

Frequently asked questions

Your IP address is the unique number your internet provider assigns to your connection. It's how websites send data back to you — and how they can recognize and roughly locate you.

Yes. With vpn.golf connected, sites see the exit hole's IP and location instead of your own real address.

IPv4 is the older 32-bit format (like 203.0.113.5); IPv6 is the newer 128-bit format (like 2001:db8::1) created because IPv4 addresses ran out. Many connections now have both, and either can identify you.

Your connection likely has both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address, and sites may see either one. If only one changes when your VPN is on, the other could be leaking your real location.

The address shown here is your public IP — the one the whole internet sees. Private addresses like 192.168.x.x only exist inside your home network and never appear to websites.

No. An IP maps only to your ISP and an approximate city or region, not a street or name. Pinpointing a person requires the ISP's records, which need a legal request.

Geolocation databases map IPs to where the network is registered, not where you physically sit. Mobile carriers, business connections, and recently reassigned blocks are often off by a city or more.

Most home connections get a dynamic IP that the ISP rotates periodically or on reconnect. Some have a static IP that stays fixed. Either way, a VPN replaces it with the exit node's address while connected.

The tunnel may have dropped, your browser may be excluded by a split-tunnel rule, or you may have an IPv6 leak. Reload this page after confirming the connection is fully up.

Mainly your ISP, your approximate city or region, and whether you're on residential, mobile, or hosting infrastructure. Combined with browser data it helps sites track and fingerprint you.

No. vpn.golf is strictly no-logs — we don't record the IPs that connect or the addresses they visit. This page simply reflects what your browser sends; it isn't stored.

Route your traffic through a VPN or other proxy so sites see that server's IP instead of yours. With vpn.golf, connecting to a hole swaps in the exit node's IP and resolver across your whole connection.
