What is my IP

Where do these values come from?

From Cloudflare, in two ways - and from nowhere else. The country, edge, and protocol fields come from the server that gave you this page: every Cloudflare-served site exposes a small plain-text endpoint, /cdn-cgi/trace, that echoes back what the edge already knows about your connection. But that endpoint can only see the one address your browser arrived on. To show both families, this page also asks icanhazip.com - an address-echo service Cloudflare operates - through two hostnames, one reachable only over IPv4 and one only over IPv6, so each request has no choice but to reveal that address. Your browser fetches, renders, done: nothing is logged by this page, stored, or sent to anyone but Cloudflare, which was already serving you the page. The readout shows the connection you're on right now - switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data and reload, and most of it changes.

Am I on IPv4 or IPv6?

Probably both, which is why this page shows two rows. Four numbers separated by dots (203.0.113.7) is IPv4; groups of hex digits separated by colons (2001:db8::1a2b) is IPv6. Most networks today run the two side by side, and your device picks per connection, usually preferring IPv6 where it works - the "arrived over" row shows which one carried this page. If the IPv6 row says not detected, your network has not rolled it out yet, which is still common and costs you nothing. If the IPv4 row says not detected, you are on one of the newer IPv6-only networks - most often mobile - and reach IPv4 sites through your carrier's translation gateway.

Why does the country look wrong?

The country is where your IP address is registered, not where you are standing. Three common reasons they disagree: a VPN or proxy terminates your traffic somewhere else, and websites see its exit address, not yours; mobile carriers route traffic through gateways that can sit in another region entirely; and geolocation databases lag - address blocks get reassigned, and the records take time to catch up. If the country shown here surprises you and you're not on a VPN, your carrier or ISP is almost always the explanation.

What is the "answering edge"?

Cloudflare serves this site from hundreds of data centers, and your request goes to a nearby one rather than to a single origin server. The three-letter code is that data center's identifier, named after the closest airport: FRA is Frankfurt, IAD is Washington Dulles, SIN is Singapore. It is a rough distance signal, not a precise one - which edge answers depends on how your ISP routes traffic, not on geography alone.

What do the HTTP and TLS versions mean?

They are the protocol versions your browser and the edge agreed on for this page load. Modern browsers on modern networks negotiate HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 and TLS 1.3; seeing HTTP/1.1 or TLS 1.2 usually points at an old client, a corporate proxy in the middle, or a network appliance downgrading the connection. None of it is configured on your side - it is negotiated automatically, which is what makes it a useful diagnostic.

What this page can't tell you

Your city, your ISP's name, and your network's ASN. Those exist in geolocation databases, but showing them would mean shipping your address to a third-party lookup service, and this page doesn't do that. It shows only what Cloudflare's edge can already see - which is also a fair picture of the minimum any website you visit knows about you.

Knowing your own IP answers "what does the internet see when I connect." The harder question is the reverse: can the internet see your site - from other networks, other countries, other continents? YoPingMe checks from two regions you pick, free, and tells you when they stop getting an answer.
