A public IP address is the address websites see when identifying your connection on the internet. A private IP address is used only within your router or local network.

Uploaded files never leave your device. All processing uses your local computer.

Q. Will my IP change when I turn on a VPN?

Yes. When you use a VPN or proxy, websites may see the VPN server's IP address instead of your usual IP.

Q. Can the IP location differ from my actual location?

Yes. The location may reflect your ISP, VPN, corporate network, or data center rather than your physical location.

If the lookup API or your current network prefers IPv6, an IPv6 address may be displayed.
