A clear readout of
your connection.

IPNIXA shows the public IP address your connection uses, with its approximate network location and provider, as soon as your connection check completes.

Operator

ipnixa.com — An independently operated service managed by an individual. Contact: contact@ipnixa.com.

What the service does

Every website you visit receives your public IP address as part of normal internet communication. IPNIXA reads that address from the request it receives, together with the approximate location and network details supplied by its hosting network, and shows them to you. To show both address families, the browser also makes small requests to Cloudflare’s IPv4 and IPv6 test endpoints. There is no sign-up, no download and no commercial lookup database.

Where the data comes from

IPNIXA runs on Cloudflare's global network. Each lookup is answered at the edge location nearest to you, using the IP address and request metadata Cloudflare attaches to the connection: country, region, city, time zone, coordinates and the autonomous system that announces the address. These values describe a network, not a person or a device, and they can be wrong — see why IP location can be wrong.

What the visuals mean

The Earth, satellites, terrain and scanner scenes are illustrations. The marker follows the coordinates in your result; nothing is measured by satellites, artificial intelligence or a scan of your device.

Privacy by design

Lookup results are not stored in an application database. Requests are rate-limited per network to keep the service fast for people and closed to automated abuse. Details are in the privacy policy.

How it is funded

IPNIXA is free to use and plans to be supported by Google AdSense. Advertising never affects the result you see, and the lookup works whether or not you consent to personalized ads.

How the guides are written

Guides are prepared by the operator of IPNIXA and checked against the primary sources listed at the end of each article — IETF standards, IANA registries and network providers' own documentation. Examples use the address ranges reserved for documentation, rather than real users’ addresses.

Each guide shows when it was published and last updated. We revise a guide when a standard, browser or provider behavior it describes changes, or when a reader reports an error. Diagrams are drawn for IPNIXA and simplify real networks to show one idea at a time.
