How To Find Your IP Address Using Google

Proving once again that Google is a useful search tool for just about anything, the search engine includes a quick lookup to display your IP address.

What search term do you use? Just search for ip. That’s it.

A few notes:

  • The IP address returned is your public address, meaning the one from your ISP and not your router.
  • Yes, it will work for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
  • No, it does not display the user agent (although I wish it did seeing it’s very easy to do from a server-side level).
  • If a search for "ip" doesn’t work, using the term "what is my ip" will also work.
