What’s My IP? Free IP, ASN & Proxy/VPN Checker

Home › What’s My IP? Proxy & VPN Checker

✓ data built 2 October 2026 from free, openly licensed lists · how it works · what it can’t detect · sources & licences

See the IP address websites see when you visit, which network (ASN) it belongs to, which country it is probably in, and whether it shows up on public lists of datacenter, cloud, VPN, Tor or iCloud Private Relay addresses. You can also check any other IP address. It’s free and there’s no sign-up.

Checking…

Looking up your IP address… (this needs JavaScript)

Country data: IP Geolocation by DB-IP. Lookups run on ProxyPicker’s own server against local copies of the lists below. The tool doesn’t save the addresses you check, and it doesn’t send them to any other IP lookup service.

How it works

A browser can’t find out its own public IP address by itself. So this page asks a small endpoint on ProxyPicker’s server (/wp-json/pp/v1/ip), which reads the address your request came from. The site runs behind Cloudflare, so the endpoint only trusts Cloudflare’s CF-Connecting-IP header when the request really arrives from one of Cloudflare’s published address ranges.

The endpoint then looks the address up in three data files that we build from the public sources listed below. It finds:

  • Network (ASN): the autonomous system that announces the address and that system’s registered name and country, from iptoasn.com.
  • Estimated country: DB-IP’s free IP-to-country database. This is where DB-IP thinks the address is used, which can differ from where the network is registered.
  • Cloud provider ranges: addresses that Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud, DigitalOcean, Akamai/Linode and Cloudflare publish as their own.
  • Datacenter and VPN lists: X4BNet’s open lists_vpn project. It lists datacenter and hosting ranges plus 933 hosting networks (ASNs), and VPN ranges plus 16 VPN-provider networks. If either the address or its network is listed, we count it as a match.
  • Tor exit nodes: the Tor Project’s bulk exit list (1,383 IPv4 exits when we built the data).
  • iCloud Private Relay: Apple’s published list of Private Relay egress ranges.

The verdict at the top uses the most specific match, in this order: Tor exit, iCloud Private Relay, VPN list, cloud provider, datacenter list, then no match. The table underneath shows every signal, so you can see when more than one matched.

What this checker can’t detect

  • Residential and mobile proxies. These send traffic through real home and phone connections, so their addresses look like ordinary ISP customers. A “no match” result does not mean no proxy is involved. That is why residential proxies cost much more than datacenter ones (see our proxy cost calculator), and why residential proxy networks built on infected devices are hard to spot by IP alone.
  • Small, new or unlisted VPNs and proxies. We only know what the public lists contain. Commercial detection services use extra signals, such as traffic analysis and their own honeypots, that free lists don’t have.
  • Datacenter doesn’t mean proxy. A datacenter or cloud match only says the address belongs to a hosting network. Google Public DNS (8.8.8.8), corporate gateways and many company VPNs all match too. Some content delivery networks aren’t on the lists at all.
  • Lists go out of date. Addresses change hands and Tor exits come and go every hour. The data on this page was built on 2 October 2026, and we plan to rebuild it monthly.
  • IPv6 is checked by its first 64 bits (the /64 network a single customer usually gets), and the Tor list we use covers IPv4 exits only.
  • Country is an estimate. DB-IP’s country can be wrong, especially for VPNs, mobile carriers and satellite connections.
  • Browser leaks aren’t tested. This tool doesn’t run WebRTC, DNS-leak or browser-fingerprint tests. It only checks the IP address our server sees. If your browser uses a VPN for IPv6 but not IPv4 (or the other way round), you may see a different result on a site that uses the other protocol.

Privacy

The lookup runs on our server against local files. We don’t call a third-party IP API, the tool doesn’t write the addresses you look up to any log or database, and the response is marked not to be cached. Like any page request, it still passes through Cloudflare and our web host, which may keep their usual access logs.

Data sources and licences

We don’t use any paid or restricted IP intelligence data. Download the compiled lookup files (sorted, fixed-width text): README with sources and licences · IPv4 (16.8 MB) · IPv6 (15.1 MB) · ASN (7.1 MB). The compilation is shared under CC BY 4.0, and the original licences listed above still apply to each source.

FAQ

Can this tell whether someone is using a residential proxy?

No. Residential and mobile proxies use addresses that belong to ordinary internet providers, so they look the same as normal users. This checker reliably flags addresses on its lists: cloud, datacenter, listed VPN, Tor and iCloud Private Relay addresses. Everything else shows as “no match”.

Why is my home IP shown in the wrong city or country?

We only show a country, and it comes from DB-IP’s free database, which estimates location from network data. ISPs move address blocks between regions, and mobile carriers often route traffic through a few central gateways, so the estimate can be wrong.

Why does a well-known service show as “datacenter”?

Because it runs in a datacenter. Public DNS resolvers, cloud servers and company gateways all sit on hosting networks. A datacenter match describes the network, not what the person or service is doing.

Do you store my IP address?

The tool doesn’t save the addresses it looks up, and it doesn’t send them to another IP lookup service. Cloudflare and our host may keep standard access logs, as they do for every page on the site.

Which proxies get past checks like this?

Residential, ISP and mobile proxies are the types that list-based checks don’t catch. Compare providers in our best residential proxies guide, and read our guide to proxies for web scraping before you buy.
