What is my IP address?

216.73.217.2
IPv6 · not detected on this request — you reached us over IPv4

You’re reaching this page through Amazon Web Services (AS16509), from somewhere the registries call Columbus, United States — meaning your ISP’s registration, not your street. This page reads exactly what every website you visit reads: the number above, and what public registries say about it. No cookies, no fingerprinting, no lookup history kept.

What this page can see

everything your request reveals
your IPv4216.73.217.2 — the return address on every packet you send. Websites see this, or nothing.
your IPv6Not used for this request — you reached us over IPv4. Common, and nothing is wrong.
reverse nameNone published — the network carrying this address left its reverse zone silent. Common on consumer lines.
networkAS16509 — Amazon Web Services. The strongest fact on this page: who carries your traffic.
connectionHTTP/2 · encrypted (TLS) — read from the request itself, not from any database.
That’s the whole list. This page reads your request and public registries — no fingerprinting, no lookup history kept. Everything above, any website you visit can see too.

How close is “Columbus”?

what geolocation can claim
Countryreliable — registry-backed
Citythe ISP’s city — can be far off
Streetnever — a TV myth
Databases map your ISP’s address blocks to registration cities — yours lands on Columbus; on mobile or CGNAT the dot can land on the wrong city entirely. No public database resolves an IP to a street — that’s warrants and ISP logs, not lookups. Estimate: IP Geolocation by DB-IP.

Three facts about this address

borrowed, shared, swappable
It changes — by design

DHCP lease renewals, router reboots, ISP pool rotation: home addresses are borrowed, not owned. If a firewall allowlist needs your address to hold still, that’s a static IP from your ISP — no website setting grants it.

dynamic by default
You may be sharing it right now

Under carrier-grade NAT, whole neighborhoods exit through one public address. Sites that ban “an IP” ban all of you at once — and a stranger’s behavior can get yours blocklisted.

one number ≠ one person
On a VPN? Then this is the exit node

Which is exactly what you bought. If this page shows your home ISP while the VPN is on, the tunnel isn’t doing its job — and this page is where you catch it.

Quick answers

exposure · local vs public · changing it
Is it risky that websites can see my IP address?Not by itself — every site you visit already sees it, or your packets couldn’t return. The realistic exposure is your ISP’s name and a region, plus linkability between sites that log it. Anything scarier requires your ISP’s cooperation and a court.
Why does this page show only my IPv4 or only my IPv6, not both?A request travels over exactly one family, so a page can only reflect the one it arrived on. Dual-stack networks pick per connection (usually preferring IPv6) — “not detected” means this request didn’t use that family, not that you don’t have it.
How do I get an IP address that never changes?A static IP is a service your ISP sells, usually on business plans. For most allowlist problems a cheaper fix exists: a VPN or tunnel with a fixed egress, which gives every device one stable public address.
What is my local IP address, and why is it different from this one?Two different addresses, both yours. The number above is your public one — assigned by your ISP, and the only one the internet routes to. Your local one (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x or an fd00: prefix) is handed out by your own router and exists only inside your network; it never travels in a request, so no website can read it, this one included. Find it in your operating system’s network settings, or with ipconfig on Windows, ifconfig on macOS, ip a on Linux.
How do I change or hide my IP address?Three things actually work: a VPN or proxy, which replaces yours with the exit node’s for anything routed through it; switching networks, since mobile data hands you the carrier’s address instead; and, on a dynamic home line, a long-enough router power-cycle, which may draw a new lease. No browser setting hides it — the address is how the answer finds you, so every site you open receives one.

Your website’s address, watched for changes

Uptimia reads your zone straight from its authoritative nameservers and compares every answer with the last one — the addresses behind your name, plus MX, NS and TXT. A record that changes when you didn’t touch it reaches you within five minutes, read from the source, with no cache blur in between.
