What Is My IP & Browser Info?
See exactly what websites see when you visit them — your public IP address, ISP, approximate location, browser, OS, screen size, timezone, and more. All detected automatically, no input required.
What is a Public IP Address?
The unique identifier assigned to your internet connection by your ISP — visible to every website you visit.
Your Internet Address
Every internet connection uses IP addresses. Devices on a local network often use private IP addresses, while the network's public-facing connection uses a public IP address visible to websites. It's assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and is what websites, apps, and servers use to send data back to you. Think of it as your internet "street address" — but instead of pointing to your house, it points to your ISP's network gateway that serves your area.
What Else Gets Shared
Beyond your IP, your browser automatically shares data with every site, such as your IP address and request headers. Furthermore, JavaScript can access information such as your screen size, viewport size, timezone, and device characteristics. Together, these signals can be used as indicators for analyzing your digital connection.
Why It Matters
This data is used legitimately for content localization, security (blocking suspicious logins), and technical compatibility. But it can also be used for tracking and profiling. Understanding what's visible helps you make informed decisions about privacy tools like VPNs and browser hardening.
What Websites Can Detect About Your Connection & Browser
Some of the connection details displayed below are automatically sent by your browser. Others can be determined by running scripts on the page. To provide ISP, ASN, and approximate location information, this tool sends your IP address to our IP geolocation provider. To hide your IP, use a VPN. To reduce fingerprinting, use privacy-focused browsers like Firefox or Brave with tracking protection enabled.
Your IP & Device Information
What Each Piece of Information Means
A complete guide to the data shown above and why websites collect it.
| Data Field | Category | What It Shows | How Websites Use It | Privacy Impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IP Address | Always Shared | The public IP address used by your connection when communicating with this website. | Routing traffic to you, geolocation, rate limiting, fraud detection, analytics. | High. Reveals approximate location and ISP. Usually replaced by the VPN/Tor exit IP. |
| ISP / Organization | From IP | The company that owns your IP block (e.g., Comcast, Verizon, AWS). | Network-based content filtering, enterprise targeting, fraud detection. | Medium. Reveals your employer or ISP. Hidden by VPN. |
| ASN | From IP | Autonomous System Number — identifies your ISP's network globally. | Network analysis, BGP routing research, identifying hosting vs residential IPs. | Low. Technical data, rarely used for tracking. |
| Location | From IP | Approximate city/country derived from IP geolocation databases. | Localized content, currency, language, regional pricing, compliance. | Medium. Approximate location (not street address). Hidden by VPN. |
| User Agent | Always Shared | Full string identifying browser, version, and OS. | Serving compatible content, analytics, device-specific features. | Medium. Used heavily for fingerprinting. Can be spoofed. |
| Screen Resolution | JavaScript | Your display's width × height in pixels (e.g., 1920×1080). | Responsive design, ad sizing, fingerprinting. | Medium. Common fingerprinting signal. |
| Timezone | JavaScript | Your local timezone (e.g., America/New_York, UTC+5:30). | Displaying times correctly, scheduling, fraud detection. | Medium. Reveals region, used in fingerprinting. |
| Language | JavaScript | Your browser's preferred language(s) (e.g., en-US, en, fr). | Content localization, language-specific features. | Low. Generally benign preference data. |
| Cookies Enabled | JavaScript | Whether your browser accepts cookies. | Deciding whether to set tracking/session cookies. | Low. Binary signal. |
| Do Not Track | Header | Your browser's DNT preference signal. | Largely ignored by websites — not legally binding. | Low. Mostly symbolic. |
| Connection Type | JavaScript | Network type (wifi, 4g, ethernet) if browser exposes it. | Optimizing media quality, analytics. | Low. Only available in some browsers. |
How Your Data is Collected
The technical flow from your browser to this tool's display.
Browser Sends Request
What happens: When you load this page, your browser sends HTTP headers including User-Agent, Accept-Language, and your IP address.
Visibility: Our server sees these immediately.
Server Reads Headers
What happens: Our PHP backend extracts your IP securely and parses your User-Agent string for browser and OS info.
Visibility: Server-side only.
IP Geolocation Lookup
What happens: Your IP is sent to the ip-api.com database, which returns ISP, organization, ASN, and approximate location.
Accuracy: Country-level results are generally more reliable than city-level results, and the displayed city may not match your physical location.
JavaScript Collects More
What happens: Your browser runs JavaScript that reads screen size, viewport, timezone, language, cookies status, and connection type.
Visibility: Sent back to our server via API call.
Data Combined
What happens: Server-side header data + client-side JavaScript data + IP geolocation are merged into one response.
Storage: Not stored after response — only rate-limit counter kept.
Displayed to You
What happens: Your browser renders the combined data into the clean card layout above, grouped by category with copy buttons.
Freshness: Real-time on each refresh.

This tool displays information your browser already shares publicly. Here is exactly what it does and does not do:
- ✓ Shows your public IP, ISP, ASN, and approximate location.
- ✓ Detects browser, OS, screen, timezone, language, and other device data.
- ✓ Refreshes data on demand with rate limiting to protect our APIs.
- ✓ Provides one-click copy for individual fields or full report.
- ✓ Does not collect information beyond the browser and connection data described on this page.
- ✓ Does NOT show your exact street address (IP geolocation provides an approximate location and is not an exact street-address lookup).
- ✓ Does NOT bypass VPNs — if you use a VPN, you'll see the VPN's IP.
This tool does
- Show your public IP (IPv4/IPv6)
- Identify ISP, ASN, organization
- Provide city-level geolocation
- Detect browser, OS, screen, timezone
- Work with standard network headers
- Copy individual fields or full report
This tool does not
- Reveal your exact street address
- Bypass VPNs or Tor
- Store your IP or browser results as a user profile
- Track you across visits
- Require an account or login
- Send data to cross-site tracking services

Why Your Data Might Look Unexpected
Understanding surprising results and what they mean.
IP Shows VPN/Proxy Location
You're using a VPN but the tool shows your real location — or vice versa.
Reality: If your VPN is active, you'll see the VPN server's IP and location — not yours. This is the desired behavior. If you see your real IP while "connected," your VPN is not routing your traffic to this site.
Wrong City in Location
The city shown doesn't match where you actually are.
Reality: IP geolocation is approximate. Country-level results are generally more reliable than city-level results, and the displayed city may not match your physical location.
ISP Shows Cloud Provider
Instead of your ISP, it shows AWS, Google Cloud, or Cloudflare.
Reality: Your connection is going through a corporate VPN, proxy, or CDN. The IP belongs to that service, not your home ISP.
IPv6 Instead of IPv4
You see a long IPv6 address instead of the expected IPv4 format.
Reality: Your ISP and device support IPv6. This is the modern internet protocol. Both work fine; IPv6 is just longer (e.g., 2607:f8b0:4009:818::200e).
Mobile Shows HQ Location
Using mobile data, but location shows carrier's headquarters city.
Reality: Mobile carrier IPs often resolve to the carrier's HQ rather than your actual cell tower location. This is a known limitation of mobile IP geolocation.
Different IP Each Refresh
Your IP changes each time you refresh the page.
Reality: Some ISPs use Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT) or dynamic IPs that change frequently. Mobile networks and some cable ISPs do this. Consider this normal for those connection types.
My IP & Browser Info FAQs
Answers based on how internet protocols actually work.
Is the location my exact address?
No. IP geolocation cannot determine your street address. It shows the approximate location of your ISP's network gateway. Country-level results are generally reliable, but city-level accuracy varies significantly depending on your network provider. For precise location, websites need the browser's Geolocation API, which requires your explicit permission.
What is a User Agent?
A User Agent is a text string your browser sends to every website identifying itself. Example: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36. It contains your browser name, version, OS, and device type. Websites use it to serve compatible content.
Is my IP address private?
Your IP is public in the sense that every website you visit must see it to send data back to you — it's how the internet works. However, it doesn't automatically reveal your name, phone number, or physical address. To hide your IP from websites, use a VPN or Tor, which replace your IP with theirs.
Why does my IP show a different ISP than I pay?
Common causes: (1) You're on a corporate or school network (shows their ISP), (2) You're using a VPN/proxy (shows the VPN provider), (3) Your ISP resells from a larger carrier (shows the upstream), (4) You're on mobile data (shows the carrier, not your home ISP).
Does this tool work with VPNs?
Yes. This tool can help you check which public IP your connection presents to this website. Connect to your VPN, then refresh this page. You should see the VPN server's IP, ISP, and location — not your real ones. If you see your real IP, your VPN settings may not be routing traffic correctly to our page.
What is an ASN?
ASN (Autonomous System Number) is a unique identifier for a network on the global internet routing table. Every ISP, hosting provider, and large company has one. Example: AS13335 is Cloudflare, AS16509 is AWS, AS15169 is Google. It helps identify which network your traffic is flowing through.
Why does the tool need JavaScript?
Your IP, ISP, and User-Agent are detected server-side (no JavaScript needed). But data like screen resolution, viewport size, timezone, color depth, and connection type are only available to JavaScript running in your browser. We collect these client-side and send them back for a complete picture.
Is my data stored?
No. Your IP, browser data, and results are processed in real-time and discarded after the response is sent. We don't intentionally store your IP or browser results as a user profile. A temporary IP-derived identifier is used for rate limiting.
