What's my IP address?

Updated Oct 8, 2026

Your IP address is your internet connection's address. Every website you visit sees it. Here's yours:

Your IP address: 216.73.217.70

This is your IPv4 address (four numbers with dots), the only kind our server can see. If your network also uses IPv6, that address isn't shown here.

What an IP address is

An IP address is a number that works like a return address on a letter: websites send each page back to it. IP stands for Internet Protocol, the rules computers use to talk to each other.

It belongs to your internet connection, not to you or one computer.
Everyone on the same Wi-Fi (your home, office or a coffee shop) usually shows up with the same one.
It can change. Many internet providers hand out a new one from time to time.
Your phone has a different one on mobile data than on Wi-Fi.
A VPN (a service that sends your browsing through another computer) shows websites the VPN's address instead of yours.

Why your web person or web host asks for it

Their security blocked you. A firewall (software that turns away visitors who look suspicious) can block a real person by mistake. You might see "Access denied", "You have been blocked" or a 403 Forbidden page. With your IP address, they can find you in their records and let you back in.
They're locking down your website's admin login. Some hosts let in only the addresses on a list (an "allow list"), so nobody else can even try to log in. They need yours to add it.
Something looks different for you than for them. Your address tells them which records to look at.

Send it from the computer or phone that has the problem, on the same Wi-Fi or mobile data. If you switch, the address can change.

What it shows, and what it doesn't

Sharing it with your web person or host is normal: every website you visit already sees it.

It can show: Your internet provider (the company you pay for internet) and a rough area, usually a city or region. That area is often wrong.
It doesn't show: Your name, your email, your street address or what you do online. Only your internet provider can match an address to an account, and it doesn't give that to websites.

Send this to your web person

Not sure what to say? Copy this into an email, add your website's address, and send it.

Hi,

My IP address is 216.73.217.70 (I found it at pagekiwi.com/what-is-my-ip/).

Could you check whether your security settings have blocked it, and let it through if so?

The page I was trying to reach:

Thanks

We don't keep it

This page reads your IP address to show it to you, and saves it nowhere. Like every web host, ours keeps ordinary server logs of each visit, with the IP address, for security. Privacy has the details.

Helping someone fix a problem?

My setup shows your browser, device and settings, and puts them in one link for whoever's helping you. It can add your IP address too, if you tick the box.
What's my screen size? shows your screen and window size, and your zoom.

How to use it

Your IP address is the number at the top of this page.
Press Copy my IP address.
Paste it into an email or message to whoever asked for it. Send it from the computer or phone that has the problem.

When to use it

A website says "Access denied" or "You have been blocked".
Your web host or web person asks for it, to let you in or add you to their allow list.
You've switched internet provider, Wi-Fi or VPN and want to see the address websites see now.

Why it matters

It's the one detail that lets a host find your visits among everyone else's.
Sent from the device with the problem, it points them at the right records the first time.

Go deeper: 403 Forbidden. The site won't show you the page: access denied or blocked.
