What Is My IP Address?
Instantly detect your public IPv4 or IPv6 address, internet service provider (ISP), autonomous system (ASN), and geolocation. Free, private, and aligned with Indian DPDP Act 2023 compliance standards.
Querying Network & Geolocation Telemetry...
Resolving reverse DNS, ISP route tables, and CERT-In compliance posture.
Understanding Public IP Addresses & Indian Cyber Governance
Every digital interaction across government portals, e-procurement systems (GeM), and banking gateways originates from a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address.
IPv4 vs. IPv6 Adoption
With the global exhaustion of 32-bit IPv4 addresses, India has emerged as a global leader in IPv6 adoption, spearheaded by mobile networks like Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel. Government websites must support dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 resolution under GIGW 3.0.
DPDP Act 2023 Compliance
Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, public IP addresses are classified as personal data whenever they can identify a subscriber. Government web fiduciaries must implement clear privacy notices, consent mechanisms, and strict log confidentiality.
CERT-In Log Retention
CERT-In directions require that all government entities, data centres, and VPN operators maintain comprehensive IPv4/IPv6 access logs for a mandatory 180 days. Logs must synchronize with National Informatics Centre (NIC) NTP servers.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the geographic location shown for my IP address?▼
IP geolocation identifies the city or state where your Internet Service Provider (ISP) routes traffic to their central point of presence (PoP). It does not reveal your street address, building, or GPS coordinates, safeguarding citizen privacy.
Does CyberCheck India store or log my IP address?▼
No. CyberCheck India operates on a strict privacy-first architecture. This utility queries network routing tables in real-time and does not track, monetize, or build user profiling databases from your IP lookups.
What is Reverse DNS (PTR) and why is it important for government servers?▼
Reverse DNS resolves an IP address back to an authorized domain name via a PTR record. Email servers, payment gateways, and CERT-In security filters require valid reverse DNS to verify the authenticity of government mail servers and prevent spoofing.
