What Is My IP? IP Details Lookup

What does this page tell you about your IP address?

Show-IP.ir shows the public IP address your connection uses on the internet, then looks up public information about it. Here is what each part of the result means:

• IP address — the number every website sees when you connect. New to the concept? Read what an IP address is and the difference between IPv4 and IPv6.
• Country, region and city — estimated from IP databases, not GPS, so they can be off by a city or more. See why the IP map is sometimes wrong and what an IP can really reveal about your location.
• ISP and ASN — the company and network that provide your connection; what an ASN is.
• Time zone, currency, language and calling code — regional details linked to the detected country.
• Security status — whether the address looks like a VPN, proxy, Tor exit node or datacenter. Compare proxy vs VPN vs Tor and learn how to check if an IP is blacklisted.

Why is this IP different from the one in my router or phone settings?

Your phone or laptop has a private address such as 192.168.1.20 that exists only inside your home network (private vs public IP). The address shown above is the public one that the internet sees. If your router's WAN address is also different from it, your provider is probably sharing one address between many customers — that is called CGNAT, and it explains many wrong locations and port-forwarding problems. You can look at your router's settings with our router login guide.

What can you do with this information?

• Check that your VPN works — the IP, country and ISP should all change. Follow the VPN leak check.
• Get a new address — 7 ways to change your IP, or get a static IP if you need one that never changes.
• Reach a camera or server from outside — start with port forwarding.
• Diagnose a slow connection — use ping and traceroute, check your DNS, or reduce ping in games.
• Plan or check a network — use the subnet calculator below and read subnet masks and CIDR explained.
