See exactly how the internet sees your connection. This inspector reports your public IP address, approximate location, network operator, and the specific Cloudflare edge datacenter that handled your request — all read live from the network edge.
How to use it
- Open the tool — your connection details load automatically.
- Read your IP, location (city, region, country, timezone), and network (ASN and ISP).
- Press Refresh any time to run a fresh lookup, for example after connecting to a VPN.
What each field means
- IP address — the public address your requests originate from.
- Location — city, region, country, and timezone derived at the edge from your IP.
- Network — the Autonomous System Number (ASN) and the organization that operates it (usually your ISP or hosting provider).
- Connection — the HTTP protocol (such as HTTP/3) and TLS version your browser negotiated.
- Datacenter — the three-letter IATA code of the Cloudflare location that served the lookup.
Why the reading is accurate
The data comes directly from Cloudflare's edge network, which terminates your connection. Because the lookup happens at the edge rather than on a server relaying your request through additional hops, the location and network details reflect your connection — not an intermediary's. Nothing is stored or logged.
Frequently asked questions
Is my IP or location stored? No. Each lookup is computed on the fly and discarded; the tool keeps no history.
Why is my city slightly off? IP-based geolocation is approximate — it typically resolves to your ISP's regional point of presence, not your exact address.
Will it show my VPN's location? Yes. It reports whatever endpoint your traffic exits from, which makes it a quick way to confirm a VPN is working.
