Did your connection change?

For a VPN connection, save this result, connect, then check again in this same tab.

Compare both checks side by side: IPv4, estimated country, lookup source and time. Copy the comparison when you need to explain what changed. Addresses are excluded from copied details unless you choose to include them.

This checks the browser’s route. It does not verify every app or prove that an IP is residential.

Using Smart DNS? Your usual IPv4 may stay visible because supported services can use a different route. Check your DNS setup, connection registration and playback on the device. Check Smart DNS setup.

Save a before result in this tab. Checks older than 24 hours are discarded when you use the tool.

Ready to compare

Connect your VPN, then select Check again above.

Country estimates will be compared after a successful new check.

Include both IPv4 addresses in copied details

Off by default. Copying does not send the comparison to us or to support.

Your browser contacts GeoJS for the IPv4 address and estimated country. If unavailable, ipify supplies the IPv4 address only. This check does not request GPS or device location. How the check handles your data.

One tab. Two checks.

Check before and after you connect.

Save your starting point
With your VPN disconnected, select Save as before. Keep this tab open.

Compare and keep the details
Select Check again. Review both results, then use Copy comparison details for your notes or a support request. Include the addresses only if needed.

What your result tells you.

Public address

The IPv4 seen by this check

This is the public IPv4 address used for your browser’s request to the lookup service. Other apps may use a different connection.

Estimated country

A location estimate

The country comes from an IP location database. It can differ from your physical location or another website’s result.

Network type

Residential status is not tested

A US result does not establish that an address is residential. Learn what residential means or check its network classification.

Reading your result

Quick questions.

Does this show what every website sees?

It shows the public IPv4 address used for the request to this lookup service. Browser proxies, VPN settings, split tunneling, selective Smart DNS routing and IPv4 or IPv6 routing can make other requests use a different address. Test the website or app you actually need as well.

Why is my IP unchanged after VPN or Smart DNS setup?

For a VPN, check that it is connected and that its settings cover this browser, then select Check again. For Smart DNS, the usual IPv4 can remain visible: only supported service traffic may follow a different route. Check the device’s DNS settings and registered connection, then test the streaming service itself.

Use the Smart DNS troubleshooting guide for that setup. An unchanged address alone does not identify a fault.

Follow our step-by-step guide to an unchanged VPN IP.

Does a United States result mean my IP is residential?

No. Country and network type are separate properties. This tool does not classify residential, mobile or datacenter IPs, and it does not test anonymity or website access. Read our residential and datacenter comparison for the distinction.

For a practical assessment, see how to check if your IP is residential.

Why is my IP showing the wrong country?

The country is an estimate for the public IPv4 seen by the lookup. Databases can disagree, and browser or account location can come from other signals. Follow our wrong-country troubleshooting guide to compare the same address and find the next check.

Does this check IPv4 or IPv6?

This tool checks IPv4 only, including the saved before and after comparison. Your connection may also have an IPv6 address, which this tool does not test. If the IPv4 lookup cannot complete, the result stays unavailable.

How are my IP and saved comparison handled?

The lookup sends a request from your browser to GeoJS, or to ipify if the first lookup fails. Those services receive your public IP as part of that request; see the GeoJS privacy policy and ipify’s service information. Save as before stores your comparison in this tab’s session storage, when available. You can remove it with Clear saved result or by closing the tab. Checks older than 24 hours are discarded when you use the tool. The comparison is not uploaded by this tool. The check does not request GPS or device location.
