You run into the question "what's my IP address?" more often than you'd think — setting up remote access, checking a VPN, troubleshooting a game server connection, or filling out a support ticket. Here's the fastest way to check it.

Public IP vs private IP
| Public IP | Private IP | |
|---|---|---|
| Visible from | The entire internet | Only your home/office network |
| Assigned by | Your internet service provider (ISP) | Your router, automatically |
| Example format | 203.0.113.45 | 192.168.0.10, 10.0.0.5 |
| Reachable from outside | Yes (needs port forwarding etc.) | No (internal communication only) |
The IP that Dagochim shows you is your public IP. To check your private IP, use your OS settings or a command.
How to check your private IP
Windows
- Settings → Network & Internet → Properties, and look for the IPv4 address
- Or open Command Prompt and type
ipconfig
Mac
- System Settings → Network → your connection → Details → TCP/IP for the IP address
- Or open Terminal and type
ifconfig
Why does my IP address change?
Most home internet connections use a dynamic IP. Restarting your router, or simply waiting long enough, can get you a new IP from your ISP. If you need a fixed IP (for running a server, remote CCTV access, etc.), you'll need to request a static IP from your ISP separately.
Does a VPN change my IP?
Yes. Once you connect to a VPN, the public IP shown by Dagochim's tool switches to the VPN server's IP. If you want to confirm your VPN is actually working, use this tool to check whether your IP really changed.
Is my data safe?
Checking your IP is just a simple request-and-response with Dagochim's server. We don't collect any personal information beyond the IP address itself, and we don't keep logs.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 looks like "203.0.113.45" — four numbers separated by dots. IPv6 looks like "2001:0db8:..." — a much longer format. Most home internet connections still mainly use IPv4, though the shift to IPv6 is gradually happening.
Do devices on the same Wi-Fi share the same IP?
They share the same public IP, since they're connecting to the internet through the same router. From outside, they look identical. Each device still has its own different private IP (192.168.0.10, 192.168.0.11, etc.).
Is it dangerous if someone knows my IP?
Knowing just your IP address rarely lets anyone identify you personally or hack your device. Still, it's good practice not to share it unnecessarily, and keeping your router's firewall on adds an extra layer of safety.
