What this public ip lookup does

Public IP Lookup reports the address the internet sees when you connect — not the private 192.168.x.x address your computer uses on the local network. Your browser requests the data from a public IP information service, and the response typically includes your internet provider, autonomous system number and an approximate city-level location.

Geolocation of IP addresses is approximate. It is usually accurate at the country or region level and much less reliable at the city level, especially on mobile networks and VPNs. Treat the result as a hint, never as proof of someone's physical location.

Why use it

  • Whitelist your home or office IP in a firewall or API dashboard.
  • Check whether your VPN is actually changing your visible address.
  • Identify the network provider behind a connection during support work.

How to use it

  1. 1Open the tool; the lookup runs automatically.
  2. 2Review the IP version, address, ISP and ASN fields.
  3. 3Use Refresh after reconnecting a VPN or changing networks.
  4. 4Copy the address as plain text or JSON.

Worked examples

Typical result

Input

Connected via a home fibre connection

Output

IPv4 · 203.0.113.42 · AS64500 Example ISP · Mumbai, Maharashtra, IN · Asia/Kolkata

203.0.113.0/24 is the documentation range used in this example, not a real visitor address.

Common mistakes

  • Confusing the public IP with the private LAN address shown by ipconfig or ifconfig.
  • Assuming IP location identifies a street address. It does not.
  • Expecting the same address every time on mobile networks, which often use large NAT pools.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my IP change?
Most residential ISPs use dynamic addressing, and mobile networks share addresses through carrier-grade NAT. VPNs and proxies also change your visible address.
Does KitJade store my IP?
The lookup is made directly from your browser to a public IP information service. KitJade does not receive or log the address. That third-party provider sees the request, so check its privacy policy if this matters to you.
How accurate is IP geolocation?
Country-level results are usually reliable. City-level results can be wrong by tens of kilometres, particularly for mobile and business connections.
