What is my IP address?

Check the public address and network signals visible to websites, then repeat after connecting to a VPN. A changed address suggests that browser traffic may be using another route; it does not by itself prove DNS privacy, anonymity or operator trust.

Preparing the first-party IP check…

What the result means

The first-party endpoint reads the source address already used for this page request and enriches it with short-lived network information. If local GeoIP data is incomplete, the browser can use IPWho as a fallback. PublicVPNList does not send the full IP to GA4, and the first-party lookup cache expires after one minute.

City and country values are approximate. Reverse DNS is chosen by the address owner, and an ASN or organization identifies a network registration—not necessarily the VPN operator.

How to compare before and after VPN

  1. Run the check before connecting and note the IP version and network.
  2. Connect to the VPN, then press Check again.
  3. Confirm that the public address changes to an expected exit network.
  4. Run the DNS and WebRTC checks separately; an IP change cannot prove that those paths are protected.

Frequently asked questions

Does PublicVPNList store my IP address?
The first-party endpoint uses the address only to answer the request and keeps a short technical cache for up to one minute. The full IP is not sent to GA4.
Why is no network CIDR shown?
The available geolocation source may identify an ASN and provider without returning a reliable routed prefix. The page leaves unavailable fields blank instead of guessing.
Does a changed IP prove the VPN is safe?
No. It is one routing signal. DNS, WebRTC, cookies, applications and operator behavior need separate checks.
