Checking your current public IP address…

Why use an IP check tool?

An IP check is one of the fastest network sanity checks you can run. It tells you what address websites see, which can help when a VPN seems stuck, a proxy looks misconfigured, or a service asks you to confirm the IP you are connecting from.

This IP check is especially useful for:

Troubleshooting allowlist or firewall rules that depend on your current public IP.

Checking whether a VPN or proxy is actually changing your outward-facing address.

Confirming whether your connection is using IPv4 or IPv6 before deeper debugging.

A fast troubleshooting signal

Sometimes the simplest test is the most useful. If a service is rejecting your connection or a firewall rule is not behaving as expected, checking your current IP can quickly confirm whether you are coming from the address you expect. That alone can save time before deeper debugging.

Checking VPN and proxy behavior

If you use a VPN or proxy, this page helps you confirm whether traffic is actually leaving through the route you intended. If your IP does not change when the tool is enabled, your traffic may still be using your original path. If it does change, the service is likely working as expected.

Why IP version matters

Some networks connect over IPv4, some over IPv6, and some support both. Knowing the version in use can help during compatibility checks, firewall work, and DNS troubleshooting. It is a small detail, but it can explain why behavior differs between devices or networks.
