This page explains what a local IP address is and how you can use our tool. A local IP address acts like a room number for your device in your network. It is not the same as the public IP address that the internet sees.

About the Local IP Address Detector Tool

The tool shows a number that may be your device’s local IP address. It uses a technology called WebRTC. Due to browser limits, the tool may not work as expected. It cannot access your real private IP address like 192.168.x.x. The tool may always show “Detecting…” or a default error message.

Limitations and Special Notes
