What is my IP address?

The easiest way to find your IP address is by Googling “What’s my IP address?” In the search results, you’ll see a box labelled “What’s my IP?” with a string of numbers—this is your public IP address. Depending on your network type, you may also see letters and colons thrown into the mix.

Can I change my IP address for free?

Yes, your public IP address changes for free when you connect to a new network, whether that’s at work, home, or a local café. You can change your private IP address for free on your device or by restarting your router. If you use a free VPN to change your IP, make sure you read the privacy policy—some free services may log or sell your data to cover their costs.

Does my IP address change when I connect to a new Wi-Fi network?

Yes, each internet network has a different IP address, so your IP address will change when you connect to a new Wi-Fi network.

Will turning off my router change my IP address?

Turning off your router will likely change your IP address, but it’s not guaranteed. If you don’t get a new IP address right away, it may just take a little while to update. Otherwise, you may need to contact your ISP to change your IP address.
