An IP (Internet Protocol) address is the number that identifies your connection on the internet. Every site you visit sees it, and it is how replies find their way back to you. Your internet provider usually assigns it, and it can change over time.
Your computer or phone usually has a private address, such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x, that only works on your home or office network. Your router shares one public address between every device behind it. The address shown above is that public one.
IP location is estimated from registry and network data, so it is often only accurate to the city or region. If you use a VPN, proxy, Tor or iCloud Private Relay, you will see the address and location of that service instead of your own.
IPv4 addresses look like 203.0.113.7; IPv6 addresses look like 2001:db8::1. IPThing accepts both. If your connection has IPv6, your device will usually prefer it, so you will see your IPv6 address; otherwise you will see your IPv4 address.
curl https://ipthing.net
This returns JSON with your IP address, location and request details, which is useful in scripts and on servers without a browser. Add -4 or -6 to check your IPv4 or IPv6 address specifically.
