How do I find my IP address?

The fastest way to find your IP address is to open ipnow.dev — your public IP is shown instantly. No app, sign up or technical knowledge required.

What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

IPv4 is the older 32-bit address format (e.g. 99.33.79.49). IPv6 is the newer 128-bit format that provides many more addresses. Many devices now have both.

How do I get NAT Type 2 on PS5?

Forward TCP ports 80, 443, 3478, 3479, 3480 and UDP ports 3478, 3479 to your PS5's local IP in your router. Enable UPnP if your router supports it. Check the result at PS5 Settings → Network → View Connection Status.

What ports does PlayStation Network need?

PS5/PS4 requires TCP 80, 443, 3478, 3479, 3480 and UDP 3478, 3479 for PSN features. Some games may need additional ports — check the specific game's support page.

Why is my PS5 NAT Type 3?

NAT Type 3 means your router is blocking most incoming connections. Enable UPnP in your router, or manually forward the PSN ports to your PS5's local IP. Double NAT (two routers) is another common cause — put the outer router in bridge mode.

Does my PS5 IP address change?

Your public IP can change when your router restarts. Your PS5's local IP can also be reassigned. Set a static local IP in PS5 network settings to keep port forwarding reliable.

IP addresses and PlayStation gaming

How NAT types work on PlayStation, which ports to forward, and how to get NAT Type 2 for the best PSN experience.

PlayStation and your public IP

Your PS5 or PS4 connects to PlayStation Network (PSN) and online games via your public IP (shown above). NAT Type 1 (open) is ideal but requires a direct connection. NAT Type 2 (moderate) is standard and supports all features. NAT Type 3 (strict) limits party chat and some game modes.

Getting NAT Type 2 on PlayStation

Forward these ports to your PlayStation's local IP in your router: TCP 80, 443, 3478, 3479, 3480 and UDP 3478, 3479. Enable UPnP in your router if available for automatic configuration. Check at PS5: Settings → Network → View Connection Status.

Static local IP for your PlayStation

Port forwarding rules use your PlayStation's local IP. If your router reassigns it, the rules stop working. Set a static local IP on your PS5: Settings → Network → Set Up Internet Connection → your network → Custom → IP Address Settings → Manual.

Wired vs wireless for PlayStation

A wired Ethernet connection provides lower latency and more consistent download speeds than Wi-Fi for PlayStation gaming. Both use the same public IP — the choice affects connection quality, not the IP address itself.

PlayStation gaming and your IP address

What PSN and other players can see about your IP, and how to protect your connection.

What PlayStation Network sees

PSN sees your public IP to route game traffic and for regional services. In online multiplayer, player-to-player traffic is generally relayed through Sony's servers, so your IP is not directly shared with other players in most games.

We never log it

ipnow shows no ads and runs no trackers. We never store or log your IP address on our servers. Geolocation and ISP details are fetched from privacy-respecting third-party providers.

Protecting your PlayStation connection

To protect against IP-based DDoS attacks in gaming, contact your ISP for a new IP, use a VPN-capable router placed in front of your PlayStation, or temporarily switch to NAT Type 3 which blocks incoming P2P connections.
