My IP Address

The EasyFileKit My IP Address tool reveals your public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses by querying the ipify API. It also offers a WebRTC STUN-based discovery mode that can detect your real IP address even when a VPN or proxy is active. This is the only tool in the EasyFileKit suite that makes a network request — every other tool operates entirely offline in your browser.

| Method | What It Returns | Privacy Note |

| --- | --- | --- |

| ipify (IPv4) | Public IP as seen by a remote server | ipify is a no-log API |

| ipify (IPv6) | Public IPv6 address | Same no-log policy |

| WebRTC STUN | Local/real IP, may bypass VPN | Known browser leak vector |

When you load the page, the tool immediately fetches your public IPv4 address from ipify. If your ISP provides IPv6, that is fetched as well. The WebRTC detection is optional — you click a button to trigger it because it reveals information that a VPN is specifically meant to hide.

Many people use a VPN to hide their real IP address. However, WebRTC — a browser API for real-time communication — can leak your actual IP through STUN binding requests. This happens because WebRTC operates below the VPN tunnel at the browser level. Security researchers and privacy advocates consider this a significant fingerprinting and de-anonymization vector. Use this tool to verify whether your browser is leaking your real IP behind your VPN.

If your ipify IP and WebRTC IP match, your traffic is routing normally. If they differ, your WebRTC IP is likely your true local or ISP-assigned address, while the ipify IP shows what your VPN or proxy presents to the outside world. If WebRTC shows no result, your browser may have WebRTC disabled, which is actually good for privacy.

Note: Some corporate networks and strict firewalls block STUN requests entirely, which would prevent WebRTC detection from returning a result.

EasyFileKit does not log, store or transmit your IP address. The ipify API explicitly states it does not log requests. The only network call made by this tool is the fetch to ipify for your public IP. The WebRTC STUN discovery runs entirely within your browser and contacts a public STUN server — those requests are not logged by EasyFileKit either.

If the tool shows different IPs for ipify vs WebRTC, you likely have a WebRTC leak. To fix it, disable WebRTC in your browser settings or install a browser extension that blocks WebRTC. In Firefox, go to `about:config` and set `media.peerconnection.enabled` to `false`. In Chrome, use an extension like uBlock Origin which can disable WebRTC. After making the change, reload this tool to verify the leak is closed.

IPv4 addresses look like `192.168.1.1` — four groups of 0-255. IPv6 addresses look like `2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334` — eight groups of hexadecimal. The world is slowly transitioning to IPv6 as IPv4 addresses are exhausted. If the tool only shows an IPv4, your ISP may not support IPv6 yet, or your network may not have it configured.

Q: Why does this tool need network access?

A: To know your public IP, the tool has to ask an external service. ipify is a no-log, no-key API. WebRTC STUN discovery runs locally in your browser.

Q: What is the difference between ipify and WebRTC?

A: ipify returns your public IP as seen by a server. WebRTC STUN may reveal your real IP even behind a VPN — that is a known browser privacy issue.

Q: Is my IP logged?

A: EasyFileKit does not log anything. ipify is also no-log. The only request is the one to fetch your IP.

Q: Can I disable WebRTC IP leak?

A: Yes — most browsers have a setting or extension to disable WebRTC. Use this tool to test whether your setup is leaking your real IP.
