## Tools
- [IP Lookup](https://www.myipshow.com/p/ip-lookup.html): Location, ISP, organization, and network routing data for any IPv4 or IPv6 address.
- [VPN Check](https://www.myipshow.com/p/vpn-checker-detect-vpn-connections.html): Whether an IP belongs to a VPN, proxy, or the Tor network.
- [Proxy Check](https://www.myipshow.com/p/proxy-check.html): Whether an IP runs through an HTTP or SOCKS proxy or web anonymizer.
- [Ping Tool](https://www.myipshow.com/p/ping-tool-test-server-connectivity.html): Whether a host answers and how long its reply takes, measured with five HTTPS requests from the browser. Not an ICMP ping, so no TTL, hop count or true packet loss.

## Notes
- No signup or login is required, and no user data is sold.
- Analytics and advertising storage are denied by default. A cookie notice appears on the first visit and Google Analytics stores nothing until it is accepted; rejecting keeps it switched off, though Analytics may still receive a cookieless page-view signal that carries no identifier. The notice can be reopened from the Cookie Settings button in the footer.
- Before a cookie choice is made, the only thing stored is the light or dark theme preference. Lookups are not tied to user identity.
- IP geolocation is an estimate. Country-level results are more reliable than city-level results, which mobile networks, VPNs, and proxies can shift.
- Site search: https://www.myipshow.com/search?q=QUERY - also reachable from the search icon in the site header on every page.
- Not available: WHOIS or RDAP lookup, mobile app, user accounts, file uploads, user-generated content. The site has exactly eight tools.
