How These IP Tools Work
The conversion and calculator tools run entirely in your browser, so what you type never leaves your device. The lookup, ping, traceroute and WHOIS tools send a request from our server and show the answer as it comes back.
To keep the service fast for everyone, each visitor can run a limited number of network tests per minute. Ping and traceroute results show the view from our server, not from your own connection.
Which IP Tool Should I Use?
- Need your own address? Open your public IP checker.
- Who owns an address? Use the registry owner lookup, or the reverse DNS tool.
- Planning a network? The subnet calculator and the IPv6 tools save hours of manual maths.
- Checking an email? The header tracer shows where it really came from.
