This tool runs entirely in your browser – nothing you type is sent to Auburn AI or stored anywhere. We cannot see your data.
Validates format and calculates subnets client-side. This cannot show “your” public IP without contacting an external server, so it deliberately does not – nothing here is ever sent anywhere.
About this tool
IP Address Checker is a straightforward network utility that detects and displays information about any IP address, including your own. It returns details like geographic location, ISP, hostname, and whether the address is IPv4 or IPv6. It is useful for developers, IT folks, and anyone who needs to quickly verify connection details or investigate an unfamiliar address.
Reach for this tool when you are troubleshooting network issues, verifying a VPN is masking your real IP, checking where traffic is originating from, or confirming what address a server or client is presenting to the outside world. It saves the hassle of digging through router settings or running command-line queries.
How to use it
- Open the IP Address Checker tool and your current IP address loads automatically.
- To check a different address, clear the field and type or paste the target IP.
- Click the Check button to run the lookup against the address you entered.
- Review the results including location, ISP, and address type shown on screen.
- Copy any result fields you need for documentation or further investigation.
Pro tips
- IPv6 addresses are supported fully, so do not convert them to IPv4 before pasting, just enter them as-is.
- If results show a data centre ISP rather than a residential one, the address likely belongs to a VPN or proxy server.
