What is my public IP address?
Your public IP address is the address that identifies your internet connection to websites and other internet services. The IP shown on this page is detected from your current connection.
Is my IP address always the same?
Not necessarily. Many internet connections use dynamic IP addresses, which can change over time. A static IP address is designed to remain the same.

Services such as VPNs and proxy servers can change the public IP address that websites see. The address displayed by an IP-checking service may therefore belong to the VPN or proxy rather than your local connection.
Why do I need to know my IP address?
Your IP address can be useful for network troubleshooting, server configuration, firewall rules, remote access, and understanding how your connection appears on the internet.
