myipcheck.netHow to read your results
What each part of the check tells you, and what it doesn’t.
The address card
This is the address websites see when you connect. IPv4 and IPv6 are checked separately, because they can go out through different networks.
Location is an estimate for the address, not for you. The label says how far to trust it: a city with the size of the area around it, a region when the evidence is weaker, or only the country. On mobile data, a VPN or a work network the location is where the traffic leaves, which can be far from where you sit. If it is wrong for a home line, use Wrong location? on the card. Why IP locations go wrong.
Connection says what kind of network the address belongs to: home, mobile, business, data center and so on. A ✓ means the network’s owner lists the address itself, as Apple does for iCloud Private Relay, the Tor Project for its exits and cloud providers for their ranges. That is a fact, not a guess.
Seen on myipcheck.net shows how many other people checked the same address here recently. Shared proxies and mobile carriers show a lot; a home line shows few.
Fraud scores
A fraud score is one company’s opinion of an address. We show six of them side by side, each on its own scale and coloured by the levels that company publishes:
| Source | Scale | Levels |
|---|---|---|
| IPQualityScore | 0–100 | suspicious from 75, high from 85 (field reference) |
| MaxMind | 0.01–99 % | review from 5, high from 50 (example thresholds) |
| IP2Location | 0–99 | review from 50, high from 80 (example thresholds) |
| Scamalytics | 0–100 | low, medium, high, very high (published ranges) |
| ProxyCheck | 0–100 | four bands of 25 (published table) |
| IPGeolocation | 0–100 | low, medium, elevated, high (published ranges) |
Compare the colours, not the numbers: a 75 means something different at each of them, so we never average them. The line above the rows says whether most of them agree or they are split. Detected lists signals such as VPN or Tor with a count like 3/5: three of the five services that look for it found it. More on fraud scores.
Leaks & consistency
These tiles compare what your browser says with what your connection shows, the way websites do.
- Matches, Same country, No leak: nothing stands out.
- Differs or a gap in latency: something doesn’t fit. Travel, a VPN or a browser setting can cause it; it is a mismatch, not a fault.
- Leak: sites can see an address or a DNS server you probably meant to hide. This one is worth fixing.
- Not compared or Public resolver: there isn’t enough to judge, and we say so instead of guessing.
The DNS and WebRTC pages explain those two tiles and how to fix a leak.
What we don’t do
- We don’t fingerprint your device: no canvas, fonts or audio tests.
- We don’t fill in gaps. If something couldn’t be measured, the page says so.
- We don’t sell data or show ads. What a check keeps, and how to delete it, is in the privacy notice.
