What is my IP — network and connectivity overview

About

Free IP lookup to find your public IP

Lokatte is a free IP finder and IP address lookup workspace. Check my IP, review IP geolocation and ISP details, and export a clear report—built for developers, support teams, students, and network operators. This About page explains what the tool is, who it serves, and how lookups work.

What it is

Answer “what is my IP,” run an IP address lookup on any public IPv4 or IPv6 address, and read IP location, ISP, ASN, and client environment details in one report.

Who it is for

Developers, support teams, students, and network operators who need a fast IP checker without installing desktop tools or juggling multiple services.

Problems it solves

Confirm egress IPs, explain IP geolocation to stakeholders, capture browser context for bugs, and export a branded record for tickets—without leaving the page.

How it works

How does the IP lookup API work?

When you check IP details or run an IP address lookup, requests go through a first-party API route. That route validates input, forwards the visitor IP correctly in production, requests geolocation data from ip-api.com, and returns structured JSON you can read on the page or export.

Browser, platform, language, and screen details are collected locally in your browser for the client environment panel—so device context stays on-page without an account. For policy details, see the Privacy Policy. To try a live “what is my IP” check, open the home IP lookup form.

Glossary

Networking terms explained simply

These short definitions explain labels in your IP information report—IP address, IPv4, IPv6, ISP, ASN, geolocation, and related ideas. Written so beginners and AI assistants can summarize each idea clearly. For “what is my IP” questions, also see the FAQ and the About page.

IP Address

An IP address is the public number your internet connection uses online. When you ask “what is my IP,” this page shows that public IP address so you can see what websites detect.

Internet Protocol addressing is defined by the IETF; the two common versions are IPv4 and IPv6.

IPv4

IPv4 is the classic IP format written as four numbers separated by dots, such as 8.8.8.8. If your result badge says IPv4, that is the address type being shown.

IPv4 is specified in IETF RFC 791.

IPv6

IPv6 is the newer IP format with longer hexadecimal addresses. If your result badge says IPv6, Lokatte is displaying that newer address type.

IPv6 is specified in IETF RFC 8200.

ISP

An ISP (Internet Service Provider) is the company that gives you internet access—home broadband, mobile, or hosting. The ISP field in your report names the provider linked to that IP.

ASN

An ASN (Autonomous System Number) identifies the network operator that announces an IP range on the internet. The ASN field helps you see which network owns or routes that address.

ASNs are allocated through Regional Internet Registries under IANA number-resource coordination.

Geolocation

IP geolocation is the estimated country, region, city, zip, continent, timezone, and map coordinates shown for an IP. It is approximate network location—not precise GPS—and can change with VPNs or mobile routing.

Timezone

Timezone in the report is the time zone associated with the IP’s estimated location (for example, Asia/Karachi). It helps place the geolocation result in local time context.

VPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) sends your traffic through another server. If a VPN is on, Lokatte usually shows the VPN exit IP and its location—not your home or office address.

Proxy

A proxy forwards your requests through another server and can change the public IP others see. Lookup results may then describe the proxy’s network instead of your local connection.

Features

What can you check with this IP lookup?

From “what is my IP” to a full IP address lookup, this page helps you check IP details, review IP geolocation, and export a clear report. Built for developers, support teams, students, and operators. New to the jargon? Open the glossary.

IP address lookup

Check any public IPv4 or IPv6 address on demand—useful when you need IP information for a peer, client, server, or support ticket.

My IP detection

See my IP address and protocol type (IPv4 or IPv6) as soon as the page loads, with the public address shown clearly in one place.

IP geolocation

Run a geolocation lookup for approximate country, city, timezone, and map coordinates. IP location is network-based, not GPS-precise.

Browser and device context

Capture operating system, browser, and User-Agent from the current session so support teams have environment context alongside the IP.

ISP and ASN lookup

Identify the ISP and ASN linked to an address for quick network diagnostics—who routes the traffic and which network announces it.

VPN and proxy context

Compare the public IP you expect with what this IP checker returns to spot VPN exit points or proxy-routed connections before escalating.

Export and sharing

Copy a report or download TXT and print-ready PDF formats when you need IP information for a ticket, class, or handoff.

Installable app

Install Lokatte as a progressive web app on desktop or mobile for a fast IP finder without opening a new browser tab.

Use cases

Who uses this IP checker, and what for?

Everyday workflows that need a clear “what is my IP” answer—from classrooms and support desks to VPN egress checks. Learn more on the About page, or jump to IP lookup FAQs.

Education and labs

Teach networking basics with a live public IP, geolocation, and ISP context—useful for classrooms, bootcamps, and self-study.

Customer support

Capture location, ISP, and client environment in one shareable report so agents can resolve network-related issues faster.

Printable reports

Export branded PDF or TXT summaries for tickets, homework, or handoffs that need a clean paper trail.
