Your IP address, right now.

It is the public address your connection reaches the internet from: the one every site you open sees. At home it usually belongs to your router and is shared by every device on your network. On mobile data, and on some home lines, your provider shares one public address among many customers (carrier-grade NAT), so the address leads to the provider, not to you.

With a VPN or a privacy relay switched on, you see its exit address instead. That is the one sites see too.

Location and network come from Cloudflare's data for the address. They place the address, not you: usually the area of your provider's equipment, which can be another town. The country is the steadiest part. An IP address alone never gives a street address.

• IPv6 shows when your network and Hivex both speak it: browsers try both and prefer IPv6 when it works (Happy Eyeballs).
• Phones and laptops change their IPv6 address on their own, for privacy. A new temporary address is preferred for a day by default, so a different one tomorrow is normal.
• Most home lines get an address that can change when the router restarts. If you need one that stays, for remote access or an allowlist, ask your provider for a static address, then test what reaches you with the port checker.
