What Is My IP Address?

Support teams, game servers, firewalls and remote-access tools often ask for “your IP address” or browser details, and finding them in system settings is confusing. Fileopia’s page shows the public IPv4 and IPv6 address the internet sees, plus your user agent string, browser, operating system, screen and window size, pixel ratio, language, time zone, cookie and Do Not Track settings – the same information any website can see. One click copies a tidy report for a help-desk ticket.

Common uses

• Give your IP address to IT support, a game server admin or a remote-desktop helper.
• Check that a VPN or proxy is actually changing your public IP.
• Copy your exact browser and OS version for a bug report.
• Whitelist your office IP in a firewall, database or hosting panel.
• See what information websites can read from your browser.

Tips for best results

• Compare the result with your VPN on and off to confirm it works.
• If only IPv4 shows, your network does not provide IPv6 – that is normal.
• Your IP can change when your router restarts; check again before whitelisting.
• Never share remote-access codes with strangers who ask for your IP.
• Untick the IP lookup if you only need browser details.

Public and private IP addresses

Devices on your home or office network have private addresses such as 192.168.1.20, which are invisible to the internet. Your router shares one public address for all of them using network address translation. Websites, game servers and firewalls see that public address, which is what this page shows. Mobile networks often share a single public IP among many customers, so it is not a reliable way to identify one person.

IPv4 and IPv6

IPv4 addresses look like 203.0.113.42 and there are only about four billion of them, so they are scarce. IPv6 addresses look like 2001:db8::1 and are practically unlimited. Many connections now have both; the page asks for each separately and shows whichever your network provides. Some services behave differently over IPv6, so when whitelisting an address it can help to add both.

What your user agent reveals

The user agent string tells websites which browser, version and operating system you use so they can serve compatible pages. Modern browsers have reduced the detail they share for privacy, so a recent Chrome may report a simplified version number. Combined with screen size, language and time zone, these details can form a rough “fingerprint”. Privacy-focused browsers and extensions reduce this; the page lets you see how much you are sharing.
