What is my IP address?
216.73.216.229
Location
- United States Country
The country your address block is registered to. Of everything on this page, this is the value that is almost always right.
- Columbus City
A commercial database's best guess, based on where your provider registered the block. It is often the nearest large city rather than yours.
- Ohio Region
The first-level administrative area recorded against the block — state, province, oblast or the local equivalent.
- 43215 Postal code
From the same database as the city and no more precise than it. It is the postcode of an area, not of an address.
- America/New_York Time zone
Derived from the place your address maps to. Compare it with your browser's time zone: a mismatch usually means a VPN.
- 09:44 Local time
The current time where your address appears to be — not necessarily the time where you actually are.
- 39.96118, -82.99879 Coordinates
The centre of the area the database covers, not your position. Suspiciously round numbers mean it only knew the country.
- No In the EU
Whether that country is in the European Union. It matters because the GDPR treats an IP address as personal data.
Network
- Anthropic, PBC Provider
The organisation that registered your address range. Resellers and mobile groups often register under a parent company's name, so this is not always the company you pay.
- AS16509 AS number
The autonomous system number: your provider's identity in the internet's global routing table. Every network that exchanges routes has one, and it is the most reliable way to say who owns an address.
- Data centre Network type
Whether the address belongs to a home connection, a data centre, or a network that exists to relay traffic. This is a heuristic, not a certainty.
- Looking up… Hostname
The name your address resolves to in reverse DNS, if the network operator published one. Plenty do not.
Connection
- HTTP/2 Protocol
The HTTP version your browser and this server agreed on. HTTP/3 runs over QUIC and is the newest of the three.
- TLSv1.3 TLS
The version of transport encryption protecting this connection. TLS 1.3 is current; anything below 1.2 is obsolete.
- IPv4 IP version
IPv4 addresses are four numbers; IPv6 addresses are eight groups of hexadecimal digits. Both run at the same time and your browser picks whichever both ends support.
- Columbus Served from
The Cloudflare data centre that served this page. It is the closest one on the network, which is not always the closest one geographically.
Device
- — Browser language
The language your browser asks for, taken from your operating system. Sites use it to choose which version to show you.
- — Screen
Your screen size in pixels, readable by any script on the page without asking. It is one of the values that make up a browser fingerprint.
- — Browser time zone
The time zone your operating system is set to. It does not change when you connect a VPN, which is why comparing it with the one above catches leaks.
Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)
Every device that reaches the internet does so from a public IP address. It is assigned by your internet provider, it travels with every request you make, and it is the first thing any website learns about you. The address above is the one you are using right now.
What the numbers above actually mean
The address is your endpoint on the public network — usually your home router or your mobile carrier’s gateway rather than the laptop or phone in your hand. Alongside it, the network hands over a few more facts:
- Country, region and city come from geolocation databases that map address blocks to the place their owner registered them.
- Provider and AS number identify the network that owns the block: an ISP, a mobile operator, a hosting company or a VPN.
- Protocol and TLS version describe how your browser negotiated this connection.
None of this required a permission prompt, because none of it is private data your browser holds. It is simply what has to travel with a request for the reply to find its way back.
Your IP is not your home address
Geolocation resolves to the network, not the household. Providers register large blocks to a city or region, then hand addresses out across a much wider area. A connection in a small town commonly reports the nearest large city; mobile connections often report wherever the carrier’s gateway happens to live, which can be hundreds of kilometres away.
So: country is dependable, region is usually right, city is an estimate, and coordinates are the centre of whatever area the database covers — never your door.
What you can do about it
If the address above is more than you want to share, the practical options are a VPN, the Tor network, or a proxy — each shifting your visible address to somewhere else, with different trade-offs in speed, trust and cost. If you already run a VPN, check that it is actually carrying your traffic before you rely on it.

Everything on this page is available from one free endpoint, with no key and no rate limit for ordinary use:
curl https://ipkiwi.com/api/meAdd /api/me.txt if all you want is the bare address in a shell script.
Frequently asked questions
Is this my real IP address?
It is the address the internet currently sees you from. If you use a VPN, a proxy or mobile data through a carrier gateway, that is the address shown here — not the one your own router holds.
Why is the city wrong?
IP geolocation maps an address block to wherever its owner registered it, which is often a regional hub rather than your street. Country is usually right; city is a good guess; anything more precise is not something an IP can tell.
Can a website see more than this page shows?
Not much more from the network itself. Everything on this page is sent by your device and your provider on every request you make anywhere. What varies is how much a site chooses to look at.
Does ipkiwi store my IP address?
No. Your address is read at the edge, rendered into this page and discarded. We keep no request logs and set no tracking cookies.
