IP.me

Free IP address lookup tool showing your public IP and network details.

Visit IP.me

IP.me is a free service developed and maintained by Proton that shows your public IP address together with geolocation and network details, including city, country, country code, latitude, longitude, postal code, organization, ASN and ISP name. It also provides educational content explaining what IP addresses are and how VPNs work, with links to Proton VPN.

Lookups are powered by dnspython, a DNS toolkit for Python. The site explains how a VPN masks your public IP address, encrypts traffic, and hides your location, and covers uses such as accessing region-restricted content. It is aimed at anyone checking their IP or learning about IP privacy. IP.me itself is free; the linked Proton VPN offers a free version with no data limits, while a paid version adds access to more server locations, faster speeds, streaming support, and features such as Secure Core servers.
