What Is My IP Address?
See the public IP address that every website you visit can read right now, and whether your connection is using IPv4 or IPv6.
What this address reveals
The address above is what your internet provider has assigned to your connection, and it is sent with every request your browser makes. Any site you load receives it automatically, along with enough information to estimate the city you are connecting from and to identify your provider by name.
Your provider keeps a record linking that address to your account, which means it can be tied back to you by anyone able to compel that record. Advertising networks use it to connect activity across the different sites you visit, even when you are not signed in to any of them.
Connecting through a VPN replaces this address with the address of the VPN server. Reload this page with FortisVPN running and the value above will change to one of ours.
Frequently asked questions
What is an IP address?
An IP address is the number your internet provider assigns to your connection so that websites know where to send the data you request. Every site you visit sees it, and it identifies your approximate location and your provider.
Why does this page show a different IP when my VPN is on?
When you connect to a VPN, your traffic is routed through the VPN server first. Websites see the server address instead of the one your provider assigned you, which is why the address shown here changes.
Can websites still identify me if I hide my IP?
Hiding your IP removes one identifier, but it is not the only one. Cookies, browser fingerprinting and any account you sign in to can still identify you. A VPN addresses the network layer, not everything above it.
Is my IP address private information?
It is not secret, since every server you contact receives it, but it is identifying. It reveals your internet provider and your approximate location, and your provider can link it back to your account.
