Everything you need to know about IP addresses
Your IP address is a unique numerical identifier assigned to your device when it connects to the internet. It allows other devices and servers to find and communicate with your device. Think of it like a mailing address for your computer or phone on the internet.
Simply visit WhatIP.ca and your public IP address will be displayed instantly at the top of the page, along with your location, ISP, and other network information. No downloads or configuration required—it works in any web browser.
The IP address shown on WhatIP.ca is your public IP address—the one visible to websites and services on the internet. Your device may also have a private IP address (like 192.168.x.x) used within your local network, which is not visible to external websites.
Yes, you can hide your IP address using a VPN (Virtual Private Network), proxy server, or the Tor browser. These services route your internet traffic through different servers, masking your real IP address and enhancing your privacy online.
Most home internet connections use dynamic IP addresses that change periodically (when you restart your router or after a certain time). Business connections often use static IP addresses that remain constant. Your IP will also change when you connect to different networks (like switching from home WiFi to mobile data).
IP geolocation is typically accurate to the city or region level (within 50-100 km). It can identify your country and general area with high accuracy, but cannot pinpoint your exact street address. Accuracy depends on your ISP's infrastructure and IP database quality.
