How it works

Learn how IP checking works

Every time you visit a website, you reveal information about yourself

1. Send a server request

When you load this page, your browser sends a request to our server. Every web request contains metadata about the sender, including your IP address.

2. Examine the request

Our server reads the IP address and geolocation data from your request headers. This is the same information that every website you visit can see about you.

3. Display your results

We return your IP address and associated data and display it above. This is exactly what any website sees when you visit it — no more, no less.

Your digital footprint

Understand what your IP address reveals

Your IP address tells websites more about you than you might think

Reveal your approximate location

Your IP address maps to a geographic region, often accurate to your city. Websites use this to serve localized content, pricing, and ads based on where you are.

Identify your ISP and network

Every IP address belongs to an Internet Service Provider. Websites can see whether you're on a residential connection, corporate network, VPN, or datacenter IP.

Track your browsing activity

Advertisers and analytics tools use your IP to build a profile of your browsing habits across multiple websites — even without cookies or login information.

Protect yourself

Hide your IP address with proxies

Use Proxifly to mask your real IP and browse anonymously from any country

Browse anonymously from 100+ countries

When you connect through a Proxifly proxy, websites see the proxy's IP address instead of yours. Your real location, ISP, and identity stay completely hidden.

Choose proxies from over 100 countries to appear as if you're browsing from anywhere in the world. Use HTTPS proxies for encrypted connections or SOCKS5 for full protocol support.

Anonymous browsing with proxies

Verify your proxy is working

After connecting to a proxy, come back to this page to verify that your IP has changed. If the IP checker shows a different address than your real one, your proxy is active and protecting you.

Use this tool to test proxies from our free proxy list or from the Proxifly API before using them in production.

Find everything you need to know about IP addresses and proxies

Your public IP address is the unique identifier assigned to your internet connection by your ISP. Every device connected to the internet has one, and it's visible to every website you visit. It's how servers know where to send data back to you.

Yes. Websites, advertisers, and analytics services use your IP address to identify your approximate location, ISP, and browsing patterns. Combined with other fingerprinting techniques, your IP can be used to track activity across multiple sites.

Use a proxy server to mask your real IP. When you connect through a proxy, websites see the proxy's IP address instead of yours. Proxifly offers HTTPS and SOCKS5 proxies from 100+ countries. Get started with our free proxy list or the Proxifly API.

IPv4 addresses look like 192.168.1.1 and are the most common format. IPv6 addresses are longer (like 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334) and were created because the world is running out of IPv4 addresses. Most websites still use IPv4, and our tool currently detects your IPv4 address.

Connect to a proxy from the free proxy list, then reload this page. If the IP address shown above is different from your real IP, your proxy is working correctly and your real identity is hidden.
