Does this detect VPN use?

No. It displays IP metadata. A provider name, organization keyword or timezone mismatch does not prove or disprove VPN use.

Which services receive the lookup?

ipify receives the public-IP request. The IP is queried at ipapi.co; ipwhois.app is tried when geolocation fails. An optional reverse-DNS request also goes to ipapi.co.

Why is the location different from mine?

The provider's database can describe network infrastructure rather than your position. Results are approximate and may be outdated or incorrect.

This tool holds results in the current page and provides Clear results. It does not maintain a local IP-history cache. Provider and hosting logging are separate.

What Is My IP?

Look up your public-facing IP, approximate location and provider metadata. This tool does not determine whether a VPN or proxy is in use.

Look up your public-facing IP, approximate location and provider metadata. This tool does not determine whether a VPN or proxy is in use. Read the provider disclosure before starting. Click Check My IP to request the public IP and geolocation metadata. Review the responding provider, observed timestamp and available fields. Use Clear results to remove this page's displayed readings. A later lookup requests fresh data. The tool contacts ipify for the address, ipapi.co for geolocation and optional reverse DNS, and ipwhois.app if geolocation fails. Those services receive the query IP and connection metadata. IP readings are not saved as a local history cache. This is not a VPN, identity or legal-jurisdiction check.
