¿Cómo puedo ver mi dirección IP pública?

Abre esta herramienta y tu IP aparece de inmediato en la parte superior, sin que tengas que hacer nada más. Puedes copiarla con un clic desde el botón junto a la dirección.

¿Qué diferencia hay entre mi IP pública y mi IP privada?

Tu IP pública es la que usa tu router para salir a internet y la que ven los demás sitios web; tu IP privada (como 192.168.x.x) solo existe dentro de tu red local y no es visible desde fuera.

¿Es exacta la ubicación que muestra esta herramienta?

No. La ubicación se calcula a partir del bloque de IP asignado por tu proveedor de internet, así que suele acertar la ciudad o región, pero no tu dirección exacta.

¿Arostik guarda mi dirección IP?

No. La consulta se hace en tiempo real contra un servicio externo de geolocalización de IP y el resultado solo se muestra en tu navegador; Arostik no la almacena.

Geolocation & Web Identity

My Public IP & Geo Location

Your public IP address, internet provider, approximate location and time zone — how the rest of the web sees you.

Your IP address

Looking up your IP…

Public IP Architecture & Global BGP Routing

GeoIP databases, Autonomous System Numbers (ASN), IPv4/IPv6 transition, and web privacy.

What is a Public IP Address?

A public IP is the unique global numeric identifier leased to your modem/router by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Web servers require it to route requested data packets back to your connection.

How GeoIP Geolocation Works

IPs do not have GPS. Geolocation is inferred through databases cross-referencing Regional Internet Registries (RIRs like ARIN/RIPE/LACNIC) and ISP distribution hubs.

Autonomous Systems (ASN) & BGP

Telecom providers control Autonomous Systems designated by ASNs (e.g. AS15169 Google, AS13335 Cloudflare). BGP exchanges route reachability across optical backbones.

Dynamic vs Static Public IPs

Residential connections typically receive dynamic IPs that cycle periodically upon modem reboot, whereas business servers lease fixed static IPs.

Public IP & External Connectivity Troubleshooting

Fixes for incorrect location, blacklisted IP blocks, and VPN leaks.

Issue 1

GeoIP Location Shows the Wrong City or Region

⚡ Quick Fix:Normal behavior if your ISP routes traffic through a regional core gateway. Power cycle your router to grab a different IP range.

🔧 Technical Fix:Submit a geolocation correction ticket directly to GeoIP providers (MaxMind GeoIP2 / IPinfo) with your ISP central office postal code.

Issue 2

Endless Captchas, Blocked Websites or Blacklisted IP

⚡ Quick Fix:Keep your modem powered off for 10 minutes to force the ISP DHCP lease to expire and assign a clean IP.

🔧 Technical Fix:Check Spamhaus/MXToolbox blacklist status. If behind CGNAT (shared IP with thousands), contact ISP to request a public dynamic/static IP.

Issue 3

Dynamic IP Changes Break Remote Access & Home Servers

⚡ Quick Fix:Use modern mesh VPNs/tunnels like Tailscale, ZeroTier or Cloudflare Tunnels which don't require static IPs or port forwarding.

🔧 Technical Fix:Configure a DDNS client (DuckDNS / No-IP / Cloudflare API) on your router to automatically update DNS A records whenever your IP changes.

Issue 4

VPN IP Leak / WebRTC Exposing Real Public IP

⚡ Quick Fix:Enable 'Kill Switch' and 'DNS Leak Protection' inside your VPN client settings.

🔧 Technical Fix:In Firefox set `media.peerconnection.enabled = false` in `about:config` or install WebRTC leak blocker extensions in Chromium browsers.

IPv4 Address Blocks Sold for Hundreds of Millions

Following official IPv4 depletion in 2019, tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft have spent billions purchasing legacy blocks at over $50 per individual IP address.

IPv6: 340 Undecillion Addresses in the Universe

The 128-bit IPv6 space provides 3.4 × 10^38 addresses—enough to assign trillions of unique IPs to every single grain of sand on Earth.

The Very First Packet on ARPANET (1969)

On October 29, 1969, UCLA tried sending the word 'LOGIN' to Stanford. The network crashed after sending 'L' and 'O'—making 'LO' the first message transmitted in Internet history.
