Connection identity
Read the public address seen by the service and explain what it can and cannot prove.
Automatic public IP check
Private by design
If you use VPNs, proxies or privacy tools, compare this visible address with your local connection before troubleshooting.
The check reports the address observed by the API edge for this browser request. Enrichment appears only when a trusted source provides it.
Use this check to see the IPv4 or IPv6 address that reaches the NetProbe API edge from your current browser session.
The API reports only the address it observes for this request, then classifies the version and public-range status.
A public IP identifies the network path visible to the service; it does not identify a person, exact device or precise location.
If a VPN is active, the visible address may belong to the VPN provider rather than the local internet connection.
Different websites can show different addresses when proxies, IPv6, carrier NAT or VPN split tunneling are involved.
Compare the result with your router, VPN client and browser network settings before assuming an ISP or firewall problem.
NetProbe does not store the full observed IP in analytics events and does not treat geolocation or ownership estimates as proof.
A router often shows the local WAN address, while this page shows the public address that reaches the API after NAT, proxies or VPNs.
No. The check reports the network address seen by the service, not a verified physical address or personal identity.
