Good to know
This is your public IP — the address other servers on the internet see. The 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x shown in your computer's settings is a private IP used only inside your router's network, so they differ. At home, all your devices usually share the router's single public IP.
IPv4 addresses look like 203.0.113.5 (four numbers); IPv6 addresses are longer and contain colons, like 2001:db8::1. If your provider and device support IPv6, you may connect over IPv6.
An IP reveals your provider and rough area (usually city level), not your street address. Providers can, however, identify the subscriber using an IP at a given time when legally required. With a VPN on, you'll see the VPN server's IP and location — a quick way to confirm the VPN works.
Home IPs often change when you restart the router or over time (dynamic IP), and mobile data IPs often change when you toggle airplane mode. When you need to share your IP — allow-lists for remote access, game servers, work security registrations — copy it from here.
FAQ
Another site shows a different IP.
If you have both IPv4 and IPv6, sites may show either one. Both are yours. With a VPN or proxy, you'll see that server's address.
The location is wrong.
IP location is estimated from how providers assign addresses, so a nearby or different city is common — especially on mobile data.
Is it safe to share my IP?
An IP alone rarely identifies a person, but don't post it publicly without reason. Share it only when needed, such as for games or remote access.
Is my IP stored?
HonsTool doesn't store or log your IP. It's only read to show it on screen.
