About ShowMyIP

What we do

The site started with one simple question: “What is my IP address?” Today it answers that and dozens of related questions developers, sysadmins, and curious users ask every day - from IP WHOIS lookups and geolocation, to DNS and propagation checks, SSL certificate inspection, port scanning, and encoders, formatters, and generators for developers.

Every tool is built to do one job well, load fast, and give you a clear, copyable result. You can browse the full catalog on the All Tools page.

No signup. Privacy first.

You never need an account to use anything here. We don't ask for your email, we don't build a profile of you, and we don't sell your data. Lookups are processed to return a result and are not tied to a personal identity.

Features that remember a preference - like your light or dark theme - keep that data in your own browser using localStorage. It never leaves your device, and you can clear it at any time. For the full details, read our Privacy Policy.

Where our data comes from

Different tools rely on different authoritative sources, queried live at the moment you run a lookup:

• IP geolocation & ASN data - commercial and open IP geolocation databases that map address ranges to an approximate country, region, city, and network operator.
• WHOIS & RDAP - the registries and regional internet registries (RIRs) that publish ownership and allocation records for domains and IP blocks.
• DNS - live queries against public resolvers and authoritative name servers for A, AAAA, MX, TXT, and other records.
• MAC / OUI vendor lookups - the public IEEE OUI registry that maps hardware address prefixes to manufacturers.
• Pure-compute tools - encoders, hashers, formatters, and generators run entirely from the input you provide; they make no external calls.

An honest note on accuracy

IP geolocation is an estimate, not a GPS fix. It tells you roughly where a network is registered or routed, which is often the location of an ISP data center rather than the person using the address. City-level results can be off by tens or even hundreds of kilometers, and VPNs, proxies, and mobile carriers make this less precise still.

Likewise, WHOIS records can be out of date, DNS answers depend on propagation and caching, and live network checks reflect conditions at the instant you run them. We surface the best data available from our sources, but you should treat results as informational and verify anything you rely on for a critical decision.
