What your connection can reveal right now
Your public IP is only one signal. Use this dashboard to understand the information websites may see, then run the checks that matter most for privacy and VPN protection.
Public IP address
VisibleWebsites can see the public IP address your device or router uses to reach the internet.
ISP / organisation
VisibleYour IP can often be matched to your internet provider, mobile carrier, company network, or VPN provider.
Approximate location
ApproximateCity and region data can be wrong because IP databases often show network routing or ISP records.
DNS leak status
Check recommendedA DNS leak can reveal which resolver handles your browsing requests, even when a VPN is active.
WebRTC leak status
Check recommendedSome browsers can expose network details through WebRTC unless settings or VPN protection block it.
Browser fingerprint
Check recommendedYour browser can expose device, screen, timezone, canvas, and WebGL signals that help websites recognise you.
VPN/privacy protection
Check recommendedConfirm your visible IP, DNS, and browser leak signals before assuming your VPN is protecting you.

How to read your privacy signals
Your IP address can reveal your public network, ISP or organisation, approximate country, region, and sometimes a city estimate. It should not be treated as your exact home address, but it is still useful tracking data.
Location data can be wrong because lookup providers use different databases. A result may show an ISP hub, routing point, VPN endpoint, or older database record instead of where you physically are.
DNS and WebRTC leaks are separate checks. They help confirm whether your browser or device is exposing extra network information after you connect to a VPN.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does my IP address reveal?
Your public IP address can reveal your internet provider, approximate location, connection type, and whether you are using IPv4 or IPv6.
Why is my IP location wrong?
IP location is an estimate based on network databases. It may show your ISP routing point, a nearby city, a VPN server, or an outdated database record rather than your exact physical location.
Can websites see my ISP?
Many websites can infer your ISP or network organisation from your public IP address, although the result depends on the lookup database being used.
How can I hide my IP address?
A trustworthy VPN is the simplest option for most people. Tor and proxy servers can also mask an IP address in specific situations.
