Recently, plenty websites provides free service to check your IP address. You can easily use them to check your IP. You might want to use these websites to find out what information about you is transmitted over the web. You can also measure your security’s vulnerability. If you use a proxy server or anonymous tool/service, you can check whether it’s working or not.
However, these websites provides different features. Some can show the country, state, and city where you are. Some can even show a satellite image of your current location and clearly point out your roof. Some can also find out your exact latitude and longitude position, maybe in case if someone want to fire a long distance missile toward you :p. These websites can also show your operating system and browser type.
Each of these websites has their own special feature. Some provide you with unique tool such as a trace route, which traces your connection all the way to the website’s server, with each ping time of the terminals. Some uses simple and easy to use design, to maximize access speed.
This access speed depends to many aspects. If the website is showing a map / satellite image, it may be a bit slower than a simple websites without map/images. If many people are using the service from the same website, it also decreases access speed. Depending to your connection and situation, you might want to use the one with acceptable speed.
We have provided you some links to these websites. What you need to do is to find the one which is suitable for your need. Feel free to try.
