About What's my IP & DNS lookup
Every website you visit sees one public IP address for your connection: usually your router's, your mobile carrier's, or a VPN or proxy if you use one. This page shows that address as our server received it, read from the headers our hosting platform adds when it forwards your request. It also tells you whether you connected over IPv4 or IPv6, since a dual-stack network has an address of each kind and different sites may see different ones, and it flags private or local addresses that mean a proxy didn't pass your real one on.
Location is shown only when our hosting platform attaches country, region and city headers to the request. We never send your address to an IP lookup service, so when those headers are missing the page says location isn't available rather than guessing. Such locations are approximate: they reflect where your provider routes traffic, often a nearby city, never your street.
The DNS lookup queries A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA and CAA records for any public domain, including internationalised names, and shows TTLs, mail-server priorities and certificate authority rules. Enter a public IP address to get its reverse DNS name. Our server asks public resolvers, Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 and Google's 8.8.8.8, whose answers may be cached for up to the TTL, so a change you just made can take a while to appear.
Privacy
To show your IP address, our server reads it from the request your browser makes and sends it straight back; it is not stored or logged, and location comes only from our hosting platform's headers, never a third-party service. Browser details are read in your browser. DNS lookups send only the name you enter, which our server passes to public DNS resolvers, and nothing is kept.
