What Is My IP Address?
See the public IP address the internet sees for you right now, along with its reverse DNS and IP version.
Checked live from Nxeon's servers. Real results, nothing mocked.
What is my IP address?
Your public IP address is the unique identifier your internet connection presents to every website and server you reach. This page shows it instantly, tells you whether it's IPv4 or IPv6, and performs a reverse-DNS (PTR) lookup to reveal the hostname associated with it. Nothing is stored — the value is read live from your request.
Why it's useful
- Whitelisting your IP for a server firewall or database rule.
- Confirming a VPN or proxy is actually changing your address.
- Checking a server's reverse DNS before sending email from it.
- Grabbing your IP from a script via the JSON endpoint.
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about how this tool works and what it can tell you.
What is a public IP address?
Your public IP is the address the internet sees for your connection — assigned by your ISP or hosting provider. It's different from your device's private LAN address (like 192.168.x.x), which never leaves your local network.
Why is my IP different from what my computer shows?
Your computer usually has a private address behind a router doing NAT. Websites only ever see your router's public IP, which is what this tool reports.
What is reverse DNS (PTR)?
Reverse DNS maps an IP address back to a hostname via a PTR record. Mail servers use it to help judge legitimacy, so a matching PTR record is important if you send email from a server.
Can I get my IP as JSON for a script?
Yes. Request /api/tools/my-ip and you'll get a JSON object with your ip, version and reverseDns fields — handy from curl or a deploy script.
