What is my IP address? If you have ever asked this question, you are not alone. An IP address is like a home address for your device on the internet.
Every time you connect to the internet, your Internet Service Provider (ISP) gives your device a unique number called an IP address. This address helps websites and apps know where to send information.
There are two main types of IP addresses: Public and Private. Your public IP is visible to websites, like the one you see on our homepage tool. Your private IP is used only inside your home WiFi network.
Your IP address can reveal approximate information like your city and your ISP name. For example, if you use Dialog Axiata in Colombo, it may show Colombo as your location. This is not your exact house address, just the location of your ISP tower. Thousands of people in the same city can show the same location.
Why should you check your IP? To know if your VPN is working, to troubleshoot internet problems, or to protect your privacy. You can check it anytime using our IP Pulse Europe tool on the homepage. It is free, fast, and shows your IP, location, and ISP instantly.
Checking your IP regularly is a good habit for online privacy. Our tool does not store your IP address and works without any login.
