What is my local IP address?
Your local Internet Protocol address is the private address your device uses on your home or office network (for example 192.168.x.x). Browsers sometimes expose it via Web Real-Time Communication; many now hide it.

Local / private IP
This check uses WebRTC in your browser to look for a private network address. It stays on your device unless your browser exposes candidates. Run only if you want that result.
What “local IP” means here
A local (private) IP is the address your device uses on your LAN or hotspot—commonly 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, or certain 172.16–172.31 ranges. Websites on the public internet normally cannot see it; browsers may expose candidates via WebRTC for peer connections.
If we show “not exposed,” your browser is protecting that address. That is expected on many modern setups.
Public vs local checklist
Need the address websites see? Use What is my IP. Need the address other devices on your Wi‑Fi use? Use this page or your OS network settings. Our Public vs private IP guide walks through both with examples.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a local IP address?
A local (private) IP address is the address your device uses inside your home or office network, such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x. Other devices on the same LAN use it to reach you; the public internet usually cannot.
Why can’t the site always see my local IP?
Modern browsers restrict WebRTC candidate exposure for privacy. If your browser blocks it, we show “not exposed” instead of guessing.
How do I enable or disable local IP exposure (WebRTC)?
- Chrome/Edge:privacy settings, a WebRTC-blocking extension, or WebRTC IP handling set to disable non-proxied UDP.
- Firefox:about:config → media.peerconnection.enabled, or ICE candidate limits.
- Safari:WebRTC is limited by default.
- Reload this page after changing settings.
Is a local IP the same as a public IP?
No. Local/private IPs stay inside your LAN. Your public IP is what the rest of the internet sees—check the home or IP address tools for that.
How do I find my local IP on my device?
- Windows:Settings → Network & internet → Properties, or ipconfig.
- macOS:System Settings → Network → Details → TCP/IP.
- Linux:ip addr.
- iOS/Android:Wi‑Fi network details often show the local IP.
