- Reverse DNS
- ISP / network
- ASN
- Location (approx)
- Connection
Location is city-level at best and often wrong by a city or two. That is the point: your IP places you in a region, not at your door.
Headers your browser sent
These rode along with the request before any JavaScript ran. Blocking scripts does not stop this layer.
What leaves your browser
Your request reaches our server (as every web request does). We read the IP and headers, look up the ISP and location against a local database on this box, and send the result back. We do not store your IP, your headers, or this lookup. We keep only an anonymous count that this tool ran. Verify in the source.
Hide or change what this reveals
Your IP is hard to hide from sites entirely, but you can change what it points to.
Use a reputable VPN
Replaces your IP with the VPN server's, so sites see the provider, not your ISP. Check it actually holds with the DNS and WebRTC leak tests.
Use Tor Browser for anonymity
Routes through three relays so no single hop sees both who you are and where you go. Slower, but the strongest option for hiding your address.
Mobile data as a quick swap
Switching to cellular gives you a different IP on a different network. Not private, but useful when one address gets blocked or rate limited.
These are unpaid recommendations chosen on merit. If that ever changes, this line will say so.
