§ 02 / ABOUT
Where this comes from.
When your browser makes a request to krillkits.com, the request travels through your ISP and arrives at our edge server. The edge writes your public IP into the x-forwarded-for header before passing the request along. This page just reads that header back to you.
// PUBLIC VS PRIVATE
The IP shown is your public address — what the internet sees. Your device also has a private address on your local network (typically192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) that’s hidden behind your router’s NAT. We can’t see your private IP from here; only your computer can.
// IS THIS BEING LOGGED?
The request itself is logged briefly by Vercel for security and performance (every web server does this). We don’t store it ourselves, run no IP-tracking pixel, and don’t sell or share request data. See privacy.
§ 03 / FAQ
IP questions.
How does this find my IP?+
Your browser sends an HTTP request to our server; the server reads the source IP from the request headers (specifically x-forwarded-for at the edge). We send it back to you as JSON. No external service, no tracking pixel — just the address that your network presents to ours.
Why is my IP different on different sites?+
It usually isn’t — your public IP is what every site sees. But VPNs and corporate proxies can make a single device appear at different IPs to different services. Some sites also detect a known-VPN IP and may show you something custom.
IPv4 vs IPv6 — which one am I on?+
Modern browsers prefer IPv6 when both are available. If you see an address like 2603:7080:... that’s IPv6. If you see 192.168.x.x or any 4-number dotted address, that’s IPv4. Some networks only have one or the other; many have both (dual-stack).
Is this address private or public?+
The address shown is your PUBLIC IP — what the internet sees. Your device also has a PRIVATE IP on your local network (usually 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), which we can’t see from here. Your router translates between them via NAT.
