What is My IP?
The What Is My IP tool shows your current public IP, approximate location, ISP, ASN, and proxy or hosting signals. It is used by proxy buyers, VPN users, support teams, and QA testers to confirm which exit network a browser or server exposes before logging in, scraping, or checking geo-targeted content.
What is my IP is the fastest check after enabling a proxy, VPN, or new browser profile. Confirm the visible address, country, and basic connection details before logging in or running automation. If the result does not match the plan, the issue is usually in the proxy profile, system routing, or an application that is bypassing browser-level settings.
Run the result against the exact browser, device, proxy protocol, and target country you plan to use in production. A clean result here is not a ranking promise, but it catches the configuration mistakes that usually create blocked sessions, wrong geo signals, DNS leaks, or inconsistent fingerprints.
For repeat workflows, record the visible IP, ASN, DNS route, latency, and warning state before and after each proxy change. That gives QA, scraping, SEO, ads, and account teams a comparable baseline instead of relying on a single one-off check.
When troubleshooting a blocked session or unexpected platform response, work through the stack in order: confirm the port is reachable, verify the exit IP and ASN, check DNS resolver, inspect request headers, and then compare browser fingerprint and timezone. Skipping layers leads to misdiagnosis β a timeout at the port level looks similar to a cookie checkpoint at the application layer but the fix is completely different.
Mobile proxy workflows behave differently from datacenter ones because CGNAT means multiple physical users share the same outbound IP range. Platforms treat these IPs with higher inherent trust, but that trust can erode if the same session triggers unusual behavior like very high request rates, mismatched timezones, or browser fingerprints that do not match a real mobile device. Use these diagnostic tools to verify the whole configuration, not just the IP.

Detecting your IP...
What is a public IP?
Your public IP address is a unique identifier assigned by your ISP. It reveals your approximate location and is visible to many websites you visit.
Why hide your IP?
Mobile proxies from Proxy Poland replace your IP with a real 4G/5G mobile IP from Poland or other countries, making you harder to flag to anti-bot systems.
What does VPN detection mean?
Sites and services maintain databases of known VPN/proxy IPs. If your IP is flagged, you may be blocked. Mobile proxy IPs are rarely flagged.
What is ASN?
Autonomous System Number identifies the network operator (ISP). For mobile proxies, the ASN will show a mobile carrier like LTE 4G/5G, T-Mobile, etc.
Frequently asked questions
IPv4 vs IPv6, what the public IP reveals, and how to verify proxy egress.
What is my IP and why does it matter?+
Your public IP is the address every internet service uses to identify your connection. It determines what country / region / language a site shows you, whether you're rate-limited, and whether anti-bot systems trust your traffic. Knowing your IP is the first step to controlling your online identity.
What's the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?+
IPv4 (e.g. `203.0.113.42`) is the legacy 32-bit format with ~4 billion addresses, mostly exhausted. IPv6 (e.g. `2a01:4f9::1234`) is 128-bit, effectively limitless. Most networks now run dual-stack β your device gets both, and which is shown depends on what the site queries.
What is public vs private IP?+
Private IPs (`10.x.x.x`, `192.168.x.x`, `172.16-31.x.x`) are local to your home/office network β never visible on the internet. Public IPs are what the internet sees. This page shows your public IP.
Why does my IP change?+
Most ISPs assign dynamic IPs that rotate when your modem reboots, your DHCP lease expires, or you switch networks (WiFi β mobile data). Mobile carriers rotate IPs even more aggressively. If you need a stable IP, ask your ISP for a static plan or use a service that provides one.
What is dynamic vs static IP?+
Dynamic = ISP can change it; static = you keep the same IP across reboots. Dynamic is the consumer default; static usually costs extra and is required for self-hosting servers, port forwarding, or any service that needs a stable inbound endpoint.
Can sites identify me with just my IP?+
An IP alone reveals approximate location and ISP, not your name. But combined with browser fingerprint, account history, and cross-site cookies, IP becomes a strong identifier. Multi-account workflows usually need IP isolation per identity.
Mobile carrier IP vs home ISP IP β what's the difference?+
Home ISP IPs are typically static or slow-changing, anchored to your address. Mobile carrier IPs (Orange, T-Mobile, Plus, Play in Poland) are shared via CGNAT β hundreds of users on one IP β and rotate frequently. Anti-bot systems treat the two very differently.
Why might my IP be shared (CGNAT)?+
Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT) lets ISPs put many subscribers behind one public IPv4 address because IPv4 is exhausted. Almost all mobile networks and a growing share of fixed-line ISPs use it. Side effects: no inbound port forwarding, IP-based reputation scoring is unreliable for these IPs.
How do I hide my real IP?+
Use a proxy or VPN. The website then sees the proxy/VPN IP instead of yours. For multi-account, scraping, or geo-targeted testing, mobile proxies (like Proxy Poland's 4G/5G IPs) are the strongest option because they follow normal consumer mobile traffic patterns.
What's the difference between IP and MAC address?+
MAC = hardware-level identifier of your network card, only visible inside your local network. IP = address used on the internet. Sites can never see your MAC. Routers and your ISP see it on the local hop only.
Does using a proxy show a different IP here?+
Yes β that's the point of this page. Connect through your proxy, reload, and the IP shown should be the proxy's, not yours. Same IP = your proxy isn't being used (typical browser config bug).
Why are there 2 different IPs visible (IPv4 + IPv6 or browser vs network)?+
Modern OSes get an IPv4 and an IPv6 simultaneously and pick one per connection. Some sites (and tools) probe both. If you're behind a proxy that only handles IPv4, your IPv6 leaks through directly to the site β which is why disabling IPv6 is a common proxy hardening step.
