About this tool
See your public IP address — IPv4 and IPv6 — along with the location, ISP, and network details the internet associates with it. It answers the practical questions: is the VPN actually on, what does this website think I am, and why is my connection acting foreign?
How to Check Your IP Address
- 1
Open the tool — detection begins immediately, since your browser's request itself carries the public address to identify.
- 2
Review your IP details: the address, approximate geographic location, and the ISP or network operating it.
- 3
Toggle your VPN and re-check to verify the address and location actually change — the definitive VPN test.
Why Check Your IP with Wrklyst
- Looked Up, Not Logged Away
- The check reads what your connection already broadcasts to every site — shown to you plainly, without profiles or history kept.
- The Whole Picture at Once
- Address, location, and provider in one view — the three facts every connectivity diagnosis starts from.
- Instant VPN Verification
- One glance settles whether your VPN is protecting you or silently disconnected — worth checking more often than people do.
Network Check Tips
- Check after connecting a VPN, not just when installing it — silent disconnects are the leak vector.
- Note your home IP before travelling; comparing later confirms captive portals and roaming behavior.
- Geo-blocked content while abroad? The location shown here is what the service sees.
- Remote-work IP allowlists need your current public address — this is where you read it.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the location shown differ from where I am?
IP geolocation maps addresses to their ISP's registration and routing points, not your GPS position — being placed in a city an hour away is normal. Big discrepancies have meaning though: another country usually means a VPN or corporate network is routing you, which is exactly what the check reveals.
What's the difference between my public and private IP?
Your router holds the public address the internet sees — shared by every device in your home — while each device carries a private address (192.168.x.x and friends) that exists only on your local network. This tool shows the public one, because that's the identity websites, services, and geo-blocks react to.
Should I worry that websites can see my IP?
It's inherent to how the internet works — every site you visit sees it, which is how responses find their way back. It reveals your approximate region and ISP, not your name or exact address. If that visibility bothers you, a VPN substitutes its address for yours — and this page verifies it's working.
Why do I have both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address?
The internet is mid-transition between the exhausted older addressing system (IPv4) and its successor (IPv6), and most modern connections run both simultaneously. Seeing two addresses means dual-stack networking is active — normal and healthy. Some VPNs only mask IPv4, making the IPv6 reading worth a look.
