Everything below runs at the network edge and in your browser. We don’t store your IP, log your visit, or sell anything but the empty space next to the answer.
Geolocation is estimated from your IP’s registry and ISP routing — it points at your provider’s region, not your home. If the city looks wrong, that’s normal and expected.
Latitude, longitude, city and postal code are estimated from your IP at the ISP level and are approximate, not your exact location.
Showing the wrong city? You can compare your IP’s location to your device’s actual location. Your browser will ask permission, and your coordinates stay on your device — we never see or store them.
First, which IP do you need? The address at the top of this page is your public IP — what websites and the wider internet see. If you’re connecting a printer, console, or another device on your own network, you need your local IP instead — it starts with 192.168, 10., or 172.16. Pick your device below to find the local one.
ipconfig
Prefer the terminal? Run the command below and read the inet line for your active interface.
ipconfig getifaddr en0
This shows your local IP on the Wi-Fi network. On mobile data your device doesn’t expose a useful local IP — the public IP at the top of this page is what applies there.
Menu names differ between Samsung, Pixel, Xiaomi and others, but the path is always Wi-Fi → your network → details.
Run either command in a terminal and read the inet address for your active interface (e.g. eth0 or wlan0):
ip addr show # or the older: hostname -I
A printer’s IP comes from the printer itself, not a command on your computer. The exact menu varies by model, but two reliable methods:
On HP, look under Wireless or Network settings; on Epson, under Network Status; on Canon, under LAN/Network settings. Menu wording differs by model, so treat these as a starting point.
Game consoles show their local IP in the network settings:
This is the local IP you’d use for port forwarding or fixing a strict NAT type. See our console local vs public IP guide.

Pick your setup for step-by-step instructions. An honest note first: these often get you a new IP, but they aren’t guaranteed — see the caveat below.
This often gives you a fresh address on mobile data because carriers assign IPs dynamically. It affects mobile data only, not Wi-Fi.
These commands renew your local network lease from your router. To change your public IP, use the Router steps instead — but this is the right fix for a local IP conflict or a stuck connection. Open Command Prompt and run:
ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew
macOS renews its lease from the network. Run these in Terminal (you may be prompted for your password). As with Windows, this affects your local lease — change the Router setup to alter your public IP:
sudo ipconfig set en0 NONE sudo ipconfig set en0 DHCP
On most Linux systems, release and renew the DHCP lease for your interface (replace eth0 with your interface name, e.g. wlan0). This renews the local lease:
sudo dhclient -r eth0 sudo dhclient eth0
This is the step that can actually change your public IP, because it forces your router to request a fresh lease from your ISP.
If you have a dynamic IP (most home connections), these steps often work, but your ISP may simply hand you the same address again. If you’re behind CGNAT (common on mobile and a lot of fibre, including Jio/Airtel), you share a public IP with many users, so toggling may change little. If you pay for a static IP, it won’t change at all — that’s by design. Not sure which you have? See is your IP static or dynamic?
