Plain Tools

What Is My IP

This page is the direct browser route for checking what public IP address your current network exposes to external services. It is useful when you need to confirm whether a VPN is active, compare office and home connections, verify what address a firewall or allow-list should expect, or simply see whether your network identity changed after reconnecting. The result comes from a public endpoint that your browser queries directly, so the check stays simple and transparent.

Unlike a file workflow, an IP check only works by making a real network request. That means the endpoint you query can see the same public IP that any public site would see, but Plain Tools does not proxy the request or store the result. The page also shows the connection hints your browser exposes, such as effective network type and estimated round-trip time, which helps when you are troubleshooting from a laptop or mobile hotspot and need a quick baseline before moving on to a DNS or status check.

This page embeds the live network workflow directly, so there is no extra click between the explanation and the check.

What Is My IP

Fetch your public IP from public endpoints and show browser-reported connection hints. The check runs directly from your browser and does not use a Plain Tools proxy.

How it works

This tool runs entirely in your browser. It queries public IP endpoints directly, then displays the result alongside any connection metadata your browser already exposes.

This tool makes a direct request from your browser to public IP services. No Plain Tools server proxy is involved.

How this check works

  1. 1. Run the check and let your browser request a public IP endpoint such as ipify directly.
  2. 2. Review the returned address and compare it with what you expected from your ISP, VPN, office gateway, or mobile network.
  3. 3. Use the browser-reported connection hints below the result if you also need a quick sense of network type, RTT, or data-saver behaviour.
