This one cannot answer locally, and here is where your address goes. A page cannot see your own public IP without asking something outside your network, so this tool asks quikutil.com itself, which already receives your address whenever you load a page here. No third-party service is contacted. The reply is never cached and our code stores nothing. The location is Cloudflare's estimate for your network and is routinely wrong on a VPN or a mobile network.

Public IP basics

Your public IP identifies your connection to websites and APIs. It differs from private LAN addresses like 192.168.x.x.

Geo/ISP data is approximate and may be wrong on VPNs.

It asks QuikUtil's own server, and nobody else

A web page cannot see your public IP address by itself, so as soon as this page loads, your browser makes one request back to quikutil.com, to /api/whoami. QuikUtil is served through Cloudflare, which already receives your address with every request you make to this site, and attaches its own estimate of where that address is. The answer simply hands that back to you: the address, whether it is IPv4 or IPv6, a city, region and country, the network's owner and its number, and a time zone.

No outside lookup service is involved. Until 18 October 2026 this page asked a third-party service, ipapi.co, from your browser; it no longer contacts anyone but QuikUtil.

If the answer does not come back, the page shows "Unavailable" in the box and in the details table. Refresh asks again; Copy IP copies the address.

What is sent, and what is kept

The location describes your network, not where you are

The page never asks your device for its position; there is no location prompt and no GPS. The city, region and network name are Cloudflare's estimate for the block of addresses your connection belongs to. That is why they can be some distance off, and why they change completely on a VPN or a phone network: you then see the VPN's or the carrier's exit point, which is also what every other website sees.

The network name is the organisation that registered the address block, such as your internet provider, a mobile carrier or a VPN company, followed by its autonomous system number, the number networks use to identify themselves to each other. It is not your name or your account. The country is shown as a name with its two-letter code, so US appears as "United States (US)".

IPv4, IPv6, and the address on your router

The address shown is the one your browser used to reach quikutil.com, IPv4 or IPv6, and the Version row says which. If your connection has both, you see whichever one the browser used for this request. The page shows one address, never both.

It is your public address, shared by everything behind your router. Your device also has a private address on your home or office network, which this page never sees. RFC 1918 reserves three blocks for private networks: "10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255", "172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255" and "192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255". If you need that address, your device's network settings show it.

Two changes made on 18 October 2026

The lookup moved to QuikUtil's own server. The third-party service it replaced describes its free plan as meant for testing, and it saw every visitor's address. The new answer comes from data Cloudflare already holds for each request.

Values are shown as text. The details table used to insert the lookup reply into the page as markup. The network name in that reply is chosen by whoever registered the network, so markup placed in it would have become part of this page, and we confirmed with a test reply that a script hidden in it would have run. Every value is now set as plain text, and a test feeds the page a reply full of markup to keep it that way.

Frequently asked questions

Who sees my IP address when I use this page?

QuikUtil's servers, which see it whenever you load any page here, and nobody else. Since 18 October 2026 the page asks only quikutil.com for the answer; no third-party lookup service is contacted.

Why is the city wrong?

Because it is Cloudflare's estimate for the block of addresses your provider uses, not a reading from your device. Mobile networks and VPNs often show a city far from where you are, and the page never asks for your real location.

What does the number after the network name mean?

It is the autonomous system number, which identifies the network your address belongs to, written like AS64500. The name before it is the organisation that registered that network, usually your internet provider, carrier or VPN company.

Does it show IPv6?

Yes, when your browser reached quikutil.com over IPv6. The page shows whichever address that connection used, IPv4 or IPv6, and says which in the Version row. It never shows both at once.

Is this the same as my computer's IP address?

No. This is your public address, shared by every device behind your router. Your computer also has a private address, often starting 192.168 or 10, which this page cannot see. Your network settings show that one.

Can someone find my home from this address?

Not from what this page shows. The location is the estimate for your provider's address block, which is usually a city or region and is often wrong. Nothing on this page identifies you beyond the address itself.

Why does it say Unavailable?

The answer from quikutil.com did not arrive, usually because of a dropped connection or an extension blocking the request. Press Refresh to try again. The page has no other way to learn your address, by design.

Does QuikUtil keep a record of my address?

Our lookup code stores and logs nothing, and the reply is marked so that it is never cached. Like every website, the servers that deliver QuikUtil see each connection, as the privacy policy explains.
