Detecting your IP address…
About Your IP Address
Your IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique number assigned to your internet connection by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). It's how websites and servers know where to send data back to your device. Every device connected to the internet — phones, laptops, smart TVs, routers — has a public IP address visible to the outside world.
What Your IP Address Reveals
- Approximate location — usually accurate to the city or region, not your exact address
- Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) — the company providing your connection
- Connection type — whether you're on broadband, mobile data, or a business network
- Time zone — inferred from your geographic region
It does not reveal your name, home address or any personally identifiable information on its own.
