Answers to common questions
Everything you need to know about our tools, privacy practices, and data accuracy.
Getting started
What does My IP do?+-
My IP provides free tools to check your IP address, test VPN and DNS leaks, measure latency, and understand network security basics.
Do I need an account to use the tools?+-
No. All tools are available without signup and results are shown immediately.
Why do I sometimes see a private IP like ::1?+-
This can happen when your browser or network blocks public IP discovery. In those cases we show a safe fallback and explain the limitation.
Accuracy and data
How accurate is IP geolocation?+-
Accuracy varies by ISP and region. We combine multiple sources to improve results, but city-level precision is not guaranteed.
Why do VPN results differ between tools?+-
Some VPNs use split routing or shared endpoints. Testing multiple leak checks gives a clearer picture of coverage.
How often is data updated?+-
Geolocation and network intelligence sources are refreshed regularly to reflect ISP changes and routing shifts.
Privacy and security
Do you store my IP address?+-
No. We do not store IP addresses or link them to user identities.
Do you use third-party trackers?+-
We keep tracking to a minimum and avoid invasive profiling. The tools are designed to work without accounts.
Is it safe to run VPN leak tests?+-
Yes. Leak tests use standard browser capabilities to check for exposure. They do not access private data on your device.
Usage and support
Can I use My IP for commercial work?+-
Yes. The tools are free to use for personal or professional diagnostics.
How can I report a bug or request a feature?+-
