What Is My IP?
Your public IP address is the unique string of numbers that websites, trackers, and internet service providers see when you connect to the internet. This page detects and displays your visible internet-facing IP, approximate location, and VPN status instantly.

Your Public IP Address
Check If Your VPN or Proxy Is Working
Your VPN is working if turning it on changes the public IP address displayed on this page. The newly displayed location and ISP details should perfectly match the secure exit server you selected in your VPN app.
If the visible IP stays the same after connecting, or if your IPv6 address still points to your original home network, your connection is leaking data.
How to run a VPN leak test:
- 1
Note your current visible IP on this page.
- 2
Turn your VPN or proxy on.
- 3
Refresh this page.
- 4
Compare the new visible IP, ISP, and location to your initial results.
Key Takeaway: Always verify both your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. A split-routing leak occurs when your VPN successfully masks your IPv4 but leaves your true IPv6 exposed.
What Your Public IP Reveals
Your public IP gives third parties a remarkably clear picture of your physical whereabouts and network provider. It cannot reliably reveal your exact street address. It does reveal your approximate country, region, and often a city-level estimate.
Data brokers combine this single IP signal with browser cookies, invisible tracking pixels, and browser fingerprinting to build exhaustive profiles of your online behavior across multiple sessions.
Exposes
Approximate geographic region, internet service provider, public network endpoint.
Does Not Expose
Precise residential street address, legal name.
Enables (with trackers)
Cross-site profiling, behavioral monitoring, targeted ad networks.
Your IP Is Only Half the Privacy Picture
Key Takeaway: A VPN hides your location. An ad blocker stops the trackers that follow you anyway.
Masking your IP address with a VPN solves network-level privacy. It prevents websites from seeing your physical location. It does not stop advertisers from embedding invisible trackers, pixels, and fingerprinting scripts into your browser.
Blockify acts as the mandatory second layer of your privacy stack. By actively filtering malicious ad scripts and cross-site trackers locally, Blockify chokes off the behavioral profiling tools that a visible IP change cannot stop.
