Two requests go out — one over IPv4 to ipv4.toolpage.dev,
one over IPv6 to ipv6.toolpage.dev. Each server echoes
back the source of the connection it received. If your network has
no IPv6 path, the second request fails — which is itself a useful
answer on most UK home broadband.
About this tool
Your public IP is how the internet identifies your connection. This checker shows both your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, read straight from the HTTP request your browser makes to our server — no third-party lookup, no geolocation enrichment, no tracking scripts. If you're behind a VPN, you'll see the VPN's IP; if not, you'll see the one your ISP gave you today. "No IPv6 detected" is a valid answer and a useful one — most UK home broadband is still IPv4-only. Both values are copyable with one click.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a public and private IP?
Your public IP is the address the internet sees — it's shared by every device behind your router. Your private IP (usually 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) is only visible inside your local network. This tool shows the public one.
Why does my IPv6 say "Not detected"?
Your connection doesn't have a working IPv6 path to the internet. Most UK home broadband in 2026 is still IPv4-only. BT, Sky, and most mobile networks offer IPv6; Virgin Media and a lot of smaller ISPs don't yet. If you're on a VPN, check whether it supports IPv6 — many tunnel only IPv4 and silently drop v6 traffic.
Why does my IP sometimes change?
Most home ISPs hand out dynamic IPs from a pool, so yours can change when your router reconnects. If you're on mobile data or a VPN, it'll change frequently. Static IPs exist but are usually a paid add-on.
Does this tool record my IP?
No. Your IP appears in standard web server logs (as for any site) for a short period for debugging and security, but we don't store or share it beyond that. No lookup or geolocation enrichment runs on this page.
