MyIP.dog is a network reference and tools website built around a simple starting point: show the public address used by a browser connection and explain what that result means. People often need that address while talking to support, comparing a VPN connection, configuring access, or diagnosing an unexpected location. MyIP.dog puts the useful result before a long explanation so those tasks can begin immediately.
The site also provides tools for questions that follow naturally from that first result. You can inspect network registration, query DNS records, retrieve PTR records, compare IPv4 and IPv6 reachability, and calculate address ranges. Each operation has a defined scope. MyIP.dog aims to make that scope visible, because an impressive-looking result is not useful if the reader misunderstands what was actually measured.
MyIP.dog serves people who need a quick answer as well as people who need to explain a network problem accurately. You do not need to be a network engineer to copy an address or understand the difference between a public address and a private router address. At the same time, a technical reader should be able to find the source, protocol, response code, and limitations behind the result.
The public tools do not require an account or a paid subscription. MyIP.dog does not place a registration form between you and a basic network observation. That design choice keeps common support tasks short. When an operation contacts an external provider, its purpose and source are described near the tool so you can decide whether the measurement is appropriate for the information you are entering.
Start at the homepage to see the source address observed for the current browser connection. If the supported server environment can obtain a trusted address, the page can include it in the initial response. When that is unavailable, MyIP.dog can use a disclosed browser-side address endpoint. The two methods are labeled separately rather than presented as if they were the same observation.
Use IP lookup when you already have an address and want to inspect its category or registered network. MyIP.dog treats private, shared, loopback, and documentation ranges differently from ordinary public addresses. A private address such as 192.168.1.1 is not a globally unique subscriber identity. Classification helps prevent an internal value from being mistaken for a public network owner.
Use DNS lookup for domain records and reverse DNS lookup for PTR records attached to an address. These tools identify the remote resolver used for the query. MyIP.dog does not label that resolver as your browser's resolver, because a server-side query cannot establish that fact. A PTR answer is also kept distinct from a list of websites hosted on an address.
The subnet calculator performs address arithmetic in the browser. The IPv6 test makes separate requests to family-specific endpoints. MyIP.dog explains why those two operations are fundamentally different: one computes a range without contacting it, while the other measures whether a browser can reach named destinations under current conditions. Neither should be mistaken for a complete audit of a network.
MyIP.dog favors a sourced result over an unexplained score. A registration record should say which registry supplied it. A DNS answer should name the resolver and preserve the response code. A failed request should be described as a failed request. Those details let you assess whether the evidence answers your particular question, instead of relying on a broad “safe,” “secure,” or “accurate” badge.
Location deserves particular care. MyIP.dog does not treat registration country as a device's physical location. A network operator's administrative information, a geolocation database estimate, and browser GPS are separate sources. Missing city information remains missing. A precise-looking point on a map would not become reliable merely because the interface could draw it, so absent evidence is not replaced with a guessed coordinate.
Privacy conclusions need the same discipline. MyIP.dog can show an observed address or a failed IPv6 endpoint check, but that does not certify anonymity. Different applications can use different routes, and a VPN can carry only some traffic. The useful question is what a test directly observed, what alternative explanations remain, and what additional measurement would distinguish those explanations.
Each completed tool page includes a substantial English guide after the interactive interface. The guide explains inputs, outputs, common mistakes, and next steps. MyIP.dog keeps the immediate task near the top while making the supporting explanation available to people who need it. Long content should earn its place through useful distinctions and examples rather than obscure the result a visitor came to obtain.
Examples use clearly identified public services or address ranges reserved for documentation and private networks. MyIP.dog does not display an example as if it were a live visitor's address. Similarly, a planned feature is not described as an existing measurement capability. Tools that require authoritative DNS observation, remote network probes, or original research need real supporting infrastructure and evidence before their results can be presented as working features.
A network result is often time-sensitive. MyIP.dog includes an observation time where a live provider response or endpoint measurement is involved. A public address can change, a registry record can be updated, and DNS caches can expire. If you share a result with support, include the time, active network, address family, and relevant VPN state. Those details make a result more reproducible.
The same address can be associated with many devices or users. MyIP.dog does not claim that a public lookup identifies a person. A provider, employer, VPN service, or hosting network may stand between the observer and the end user. Use network information as context for troubleshooting or investigation, and avoid making personal accusations based solely on a registry name, hostname, or approximate region.
MyIP.dog uses a shared visual system across the homepage, tools, and guides. The interface supports light and dark themes, keyboard focus, labeled inputs, and narrow screens. IP addresses can wrap instead of disappearing behind an ellipsis. Copy controls provide feedback, while errors remain visible near the operation that failed. These details matter when someone is trying to resolve a problem quickly on a phone or during a support call.
The site also tries to keep failure understandable. MyIP.dog distinguishes unavailable information from a successful negative answer wherever the underlying protocol allows it. An empty DNS answer is interpreted alongside its response code. A failed address endpoint does not produce a fabricated result. If you cannot complete a check, the honest outcome is a useful error and a clear description of what remains unknown.
You can inspect the methodology for measurement boundaries and the data sources for provider roles. MyIP.dog should be judged by whether its tools perform the stated operations, its sources support the associated claims, and its explanations help you make a better next decision. It does not need a claim of being perfect or universally authoritative to make a concrete network task easier.
When reporting a problem, preserve the relevant page, input format, time, browser, and error message while removing secrets and unnecessary personal information. MyIP.dog's usefulness depends on correcting reproducible problems and keeping claims aligned with observable behavior. A clear report about an incorrect range, misleading label, or inaccessible control is more actionable than an unsupported assertion that a result should always look a particular way.
