Public IP and location lookup
See the public IP address received by our API. Switch routes and run the lookup again to compare changes in IP and location.

Current results
- Public IP

- Internet Service Provider (ISP)

Results apply only to this request and may not reflect the network paths used by other apps on your device. Some fields may be missing if the API returns incomplete data.
What these results mean
Public IP: where your request comes from
The public IP is the source address our API sees for your request. It may belong to your local network or the exit point of your selected route. Check the result, switch routes, and run the lookup again to see whether your browser’s request path changed. Split-tunneling rules, browser proxy settings, and client mode can all affect the result.
Country or region: an estimate based on IP data
Location is estimated from IP databases, not your device’s location. Database update schedules, IP address reassignment, and ISP registration details can all make the displayed location differ from what you expect. To confirm the location a particular website sees, check the information shown on that site as well.
ISP: details about the network handling your request
ISP refers to the internet service provider or network organization reported by the API. When using an international route, this may show the network associated with the exit point rather than your local broadband provider. It may also differ from the name of your subscription service.
Proxy detection: a clue, not a definitive answer
Proxy detection usually relies on IP address classification data. “Proxy detected” says nothing about whether your connection is encrypted, while “No proxy detected” doesn’t prove that your request used your local network. If the API returns no clear result, this page will show “Temporarily unavailable” rather than treating missing data as a negative result.
How to check for DNS leaks
DNS translates domain names into IP addresses. If DNS requests that you expect your client to handle are instead sent to a resolver on your local network, the domains you look up may be exposed. A public IP lookup and a DNS check are not the same thing: our API does not observe DNS traffic, so this page cannot automatically tell you whether a DNS leak has occurred.
Check your client’s DNS settings
Review the DNS, split-tunneling, and connection mode settings in your client to make sure they suit your use case. If only your browser uses a proxy, other apps and system DNS requests may still follow their usual routes. Check your client’s documentation to understand which traffic the settings affect.
Check where your browser and system send DNS requests
Review your browser’s Secure DNS settings, along with the DNS configuration for your system or current network. A DNS service set directly in the browser may not follow your client’s policy. The resolver’s name or location alone does not prove a leak; also check whether requests follow the route you expect.
Clear the cache, then test the app you use
After changing settings, follow your operating system and browser’s instructions to clear the DNS cache. Reconnect, then visit the app you want to test. For further troubleshooting, check your client’s connection logs or system network diagnostics to see which resolver was used and which network interface carried the request.

Privacy notice
We don’t log lookups. This page gets your current public IP details through our API and won’t send a fallback request to a third-party lookup service if the API is unavailable. The copy button writes your public IP only when clicked; it doesn’t read your clipboard.
Your public IP is network information. Before sharing a screenshot with support, hide any addresses and account details unrelated to the issue. Avoid sharing complete diagnostic records publicly. Learn how we handle information in our Privacy Policy.
