Your public IP is how the internet sees this device right now. We detect your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses live, then add the detail behind them — provider, network, location, hostname. Nothing is sent to Xaccel or stored.
Most connections today carry both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address — and they can tell different stories about your network.
Four numbers, ~4.3 billion possible addresses, and we've outgrown them. Your ISP often puts you behind carrier-grade NAT, so the IPv4 you see here may be shared with hundreds of other customers.
128 bits — enough addresses for every device on Earth, twice over. Mobile carriers are IPv6-first, and no NAT means your IPv6 usually identifies your connection directly. No IPv6 shown above? Your network simply hasn't enabled it yet.
VPNs, proxies and corporate gateways replace your real address with theirs — that's the point. The location shown is where your exit point sits, which may be a different city than your desk. On a VPN? Expect the unexpected.
Every Xaccel client gets 24/7 monitoring across their entire address space — gateways, servers, remote users — with an engineer who calls you before you notice the problem.
