Your country and city
IP geolocation is accurate at city level in most cases. That's how sites filter their content by region.
Live detection, on the fly
What is my IP?
Here's everything the sites you visit can see: your public IP address, your approximate location, your internet provider. If you're connected to monVPN, the VPN server's data shows up — not yours.

Reading the result
What does your IP reveal?
A plain public IP leaks more information than you'd expect.

Your internet provider
BT, Comcast, Orange, Telstra… your operator's name (and AS number) is public. On mobile, it's the 4G/5G carrier that shows up.

A trackable identifier
Cross-referenced with cookies or browser fingerprinting, your IP becomes an identifier that can follow you from one site to another.
The basics
What is an IP address?
An IP address (Internet Protocol) is the numerical identifier assigned to each device connected to the internet. Without it, you can't send or receive data: it's the equivalent of a phone number for your connection.
In IPv4 it's written as four numbers between 0 and 255 (for example 192.0.2.42). In IPv6 it's longer but the principle is the same. Your internet provider assigns one to you on every connection.
Two people can't simultaneously use the same public IP — unless they go through the same network (home Wi-Fi, carrier-grade NAT, shared VPN).

Frequently asked
Everything you might wonder
about your IP
What is an IP address? +
An IP address (Internet Protocol) is the numerical identifier assigned to each device connected to the internet. In IPv4 it takes the form of four numbers between 0 and 255 separated by dots (for example 87.229.53.50). In IPv6 it's much longer. Your internet provider assigns one to you on every connection; the sites you visit can see it and use it to roughly locate you.
How do I change my IP address? +
The easiest way is to use a VPN. Once you're connected, your traffic goes through a remote server: sites see that server's IP, not yours. With monVPN you can pick from 40 countries and switch as many times as you need, at no extra cost.
Why hasn't my IP changed after connecting to the VPN? +
Browsers often cache the IP test page. Force a full reload with Ctrl+F5 (or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac), or click the "Refresh" button at the top of the page. If the displayed IP still matches your internet provider, the VPN connection isn't active: open the monVPN app and check that the status reads Connected.
Is sharing my IP address dangerous? +
A public IP alone won't reveal your civil identity, but it's enough to determine your region, your internet provider and to cross-reference your activity from one site to another. Combined with cookies or browsing history, it becomes a fairly precise identifier. That's why a VPN is recommended to limit this tracking.
