Public IP and Location Lookup

What this information tells you

Public IP: where this request came from

Your public IP is the source address seen by our service. Check it before connecting to a route, then connect to your chosen route and check again to compare the address and location. With rule-based routing, different sites may use different exit IPs. A change here means only that the request to our service took a different route.

Country or region: location isn’t precise

IP geolocation databases estimate a location; they don’t track your device. Database updates, address transfers, and ISP assignments can make the result differ from the route name. If the location looks wrong, first check which route is selected in your client, then run the lookup again. If the mismatch persists, report it through a support ticket in the dashboard. Don’t assume there’s a connection problem based on the location label alone.

ISP: registered details for the exit network

The ISP field usually identifies the provider or organization associated with the exit IP. After connecting to a route, it may differ from your local broadband provider. A different name doesn’t mean your traffic is encrypted, and it can’t tell you the route’s speed, peak-hour performance, or streaming availability.

Proxy detection: an indicator, not a security verdict

The proxy label depends on the result supplied by the lookup service. A detected proxy doesn’t necessarily mean anything is wrong; no proxy detected doesn’t prove that no proxy is in use. If the service provides no clear result, this page shows “Temporarily unavailable” rather than making an inference from the IP or ISP name.

DNS leak checks

DNS translates domain names into IP addresses. Routing browser requests through a route doesn’t necessarily send DNS lookups through the same path. This page checks your public IP only; it doesn’t run a DNS leak test or treat your IP location as a DNS result.

1. Check your client’s DNS settings. Review the current mode, DNS interception, and routing rules to confirm how the target domain is handled. Selecting a route alone may not change the DNS resolution path used by your system or browser.
2. Check your browser’s Secure DNS settings. Your browser may use its own encrypted DNS service. Its settings can differ from your system DNS, so check them alongside your client’s rules rather than relying only on the address configured in your system.
3. Check the active DNS configuration. On Windows, run ipconfig /all in a terminal to view DNS settings. On macOS, run scutil --dns. On Linux systems using the relevant resolver service, run resolvectl status. These commands show configuration; they don’t prove the full path taken by DNS queries.
4. Compare before and after connecting, then check each app separately. Note any changes to the DNS configuration and review your client’s connection logs to check the request path. A local loopback address may simply be an entry point for local DNS forwarding. You’ll still need to confirm who sends the upstream queries and which route they use.

If you see the name of a local ISP’s DNS service, check your routing rules and DNS interception before concluding there’s a leak. Seeing an overseas DNS provider doesn’t confirm that all requests are protected either. For further troubleshooting, include your operating system, client mode, browser DNS settings, and the issue in a support ticket. Don’t share your password or full subscription URL.

Lookup privacy and error handling

We don’t log lookups. This tool gets your current request’s public IP details through our service and doesn’t fall back to third-party public lookup services. The copy button only copies your public IP to the clipboard; this page doesn’t save lookup results to your browser’s local storage.

“Temporarily unavailable” means the corresponding field couldn’t be retrieved. It doesn’t mean your route is disconnected or your device has no internet access. Check whether regular websites load, then try again. After switching routes, run a fresh lookup—the previous result doesn’t reflect the new connection.

If the service is unavailable, this page will show a clear error instead of generating substitute data. Before sharing a troubleshooting screenshot, consider obscuring your public IP and other unnecessary details. See our Privacy Policy for information about how the service handles data, or refer to the quick-start guide for connection setup.
