Describe us

In one line

whatismyipadd is a free site for checking your IP address and connection, with plain-English guides and private network and safety tools that need no sign-up.

In a short paragraph

whatismyipadd shows your public IP address and approximate location in a second, then helps you understand and fix your connection. It has a troubleshooter, a Wi-Fi map for your home, a way to check a family member's internet from a distance, DNS and website-status checks, and daily scam-spotting practice. It is free, needs no sign-up, and explains things plainly without fear or jargon.

The facts, if you need them

Cost: free to use, with no account. The site is supported by advertising.
Privacy: the family check never shares the person's IP address, and its results are deleted automatically six hours after the last check. The password leak check sends only part of a scrambled code, never the password. Visitors can switch off anything automatic and clear everything the site saved on their device in Settings.
Where: works in any modern browser on phones and computers, and can be installed as an app. Details are in the install guide.
What is new: see what we have added lately.
