The My IP Address tool by Bonnots.online instantly detects the public Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned to your device by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Along with your IP, we provide detailed information about your network and approximate physical location.
Why is my location approximate?
IP-based geolocation is not like GPS. It points to the registration address of your ISP’s server hub, not your specific house or office. This protects your physical safety while still allowing websites to serve you local content (like weather or currency).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IP Address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique string of numbers separated by periods (IPv4) or colons (IPv6) that identifies each computer using the Internet Protocol to communicate over a network. Think of it like a digital mailing address for your computer.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 is the older version (e.g., 192.168.1.1) and is limited to about 4 billion addresses. IPv6 is the new standard (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3…) designed to provide an infinite number of addresses to accommodate the growing number of devices on the internet.
Can I hide my IP Address?
Yes. The most effective way to hide your IP address is by using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) or a Proxy server. These services route your traffic through a different server, so websites see the VPN’s IP address instead of yours.
