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 find my Samsung TV IP address?

Why do I need my Smart TV's IP address?

Common reasons: casting from your phone, using a remote-control app, assigning a static IP for reliable streaming, port forwarding for a media server, or troubleshooting network/streaming problems.

Can I use a VPN on my Smart TV?

Most Smart TVs don't support VPN apps natively. The usual solution is to set up the VPN on your router, so every device including your TV uses it. Some Android TV models can install VPN apps directly from the Play Store.

Does my Smart TV have a different IP than my phone?

On the same network, your TV and phone share the same public IP but each has a unique local IP. That local IP is how casting and remote apps find your specific TV.

Finding your Smart TV IP address

Your TV shares your network's public IP but has its own local IP. Here is how to find it on the major Smart TV platforms.

Public IP vs your TV's local IP

Your Smart TV uses the same public IP as the rest of your home (shown above) to stream from the internet. It also has its own local IP (e.g. 192.168.x.x) that identifies it on your network — useful for casting, remote apps, and troubleshooting streaming issues.

Find the local IP on Samsung, LG & Sony

Samsung: Settings → General → Network → Network Status → IP Settings. LG (webOS): Settings → Network → Wi-Fi/Wired Connection → Advanced. Sony (Android TV): Settings → Network & Internet → your network → the IP is listed under the connection.

Find the local IP on Roku & Fire TV

Roku: Settings → Network → About — the IP address is shown there. Fire TV: Settings → My Fire TV / Device → About → Network. Android TV / Google TV: Settings → Network & Internet → tap your connected network.

Why your TV IP matters

Streaming apps use your public IP to determine your region and enforce content licensing. Your TV's local IP is used for casting (Chromecast/AirPlay), for phone remote apps, and for assigning a static IP or port forwarding if you run media servers like Plex or Jellyfin.

Smart TV IP addresses and privacy

What streaming services see and how region affects your content.

What streaming services see

Streaming apps see your public IP (shown above) and use it to determine your country for content licensing and regional catalogs. They cannot see your TV's local IP or identify you personally from the IP alone.

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.

Changing your TV's apparent region

Because Smart TVs rarely support VPN apps directly, the common approach is a VPN configured on your router — so all devices, including your TV, use the VPN's IP. This changes the region streaming services detect. Check your router supports VPN client mode first.
