What does the displayed IP mean?

It is the public IP address that splet.me saw when receiving your request. If you use a VPN, mobile internet or CGNAT, it may not be assigned directly to your device. An IP is not GPS location and does not reveal a precise home address.

Compare it with your router's WAN address to investigate NAT or CGNAT.

Frequently asked questions

Is my public IP the same as my device's IP?

Often not. At home the router generally has the public IP; with mobile networks or CGNAT several users can share one. Your device may also have a private local IP.

Why does my public IP change?

An ISP may assign dynamic addresses, a mobile connection may reconnect, or a VPN may show a different exit server. A change does not necessarily indicate a problem.

Can my public IP reveal my exact home address?

No. It may indicate the provider and approximate network region, but it is not GPS location and normally does not disclose a precise physical home address.

How does this help me detect CGNAT?

Compare the public IP displayed by splet.me with your router's WAN IP. If they differ or WAN uses 100.64.0.0/10, CGNAT is likely; your provider can confirm.
