Your public IP address
Looking up…
What this reveals
Does this look right with your VPN on?
IP geolocation is approximate — city-level at best, sometimes only country-level. But if it shows your real city while your VPN claims to be connected elsewhere, something is wrong. Run the deeper check:
We couldn't reach the IP geolocation services. This sometimes happens with strict ad-blockers or firewalls. Try disabling content blockers for this page and reload.
Why this matters
Your IP is your return address. Every site, app, and torrent peer you connect to sees it. From it, they can derive your approximate location, ISP, and timezone.
A VPN should change all of this. With a working VPN, the location above should match your VPN server — not your home.
Geolocation is never exact. These databases are built from ISP records, so a VPN server in "Frankfurt" might show as a nearby town. Country-level mismatches are the real red flag.
Honest labeling: location data comes from the free ipwho.is API (fallback: ipapi.co) — the same class of database most "what's my IP" sites use. It is approximate by design, not a GPS fix. We make no request on your behalf beyond the lookup itself, and we store nothing.
