Simple, fast, and secure. A new online tool lets anyone instantly discover their public IP address. It’s called “My IP Address”, a fully client-side widget built in pure HTML and JavaScript — light, elegant, and easy to embed in any website.
A handy tool for users and developers
In an era where digital privacy and network security are hot topics, knowing your IP address is more than a technical curiosity.
Your IP is your “digital home number” — the unique identifier that allows the Internet to find your device. It can reveal your network, your provider, and even your approximate location.
This widget works directly in the browser, without any installation or setup, and fetches your IP address in just a few seconds using multiple public APIs to ensure reliable detection. The interface is clean, responsive, and works flawlessly on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
How it works
Just visit donatopaolino.it/il-mio-indirizzo-ip and your public IP address will appear automatically.
You can:
- Copy your IP to the clipboard;
- Refresh to check for changes;
- View technical details, including IPv4/IPv6 version and data source.
The code is fully open, allowing webmasters and developers to integrate it into their own websites as a free utility.
Server-side version for better privacy
For those who prefer greater control, the project includes a server-side PHP version. This option retrieves the IP directly from your own server instead of relying on external services — perfect for business platforms and internal tools that require privacy-first logic.
Minimal design, open philosophy
Visually, the widget embraces a minimalist flat design: clean typography, soft color tones, and intuitive usability.
Created by Donato Paolino, the project aligns with his mission of making digital tools simple, educational, and accessible to everyone.
“I wanted to build something immediate,” explains Paolino, “a small tool that anyone can use — even without technical skills — to understand how the Internet identifies each device.”
