What is Horse?
Horse is one of the animal-themed "what's my IP address?" websites catalogued in the IP Animals zoo. Like the others in the legendary habitat, it lives at iphorse.com and exists to show visitors their public IP address wrapped in a bit of animal personality. It's part of a long folk tradition on the small web — read why there are so many animal IP websites.
How to use it
Open iphorse.com in any browser and it shows the public IP address your connection is using — no sign-up required. Many of these sites also display extra details like your approximate location, ISP, hostname or browser information. If the address shown isn't what you expected, you may be behind a NAT, a VPN or a proxy.
How animal IP checkers work
Under the hood, a site like Horse simply reports the source IP of your request — the address the wider internet sees. Our guide on how an IP checker website works explains the mechanics, and if you're curious you can even build your own. Want to check your address right now without leaving? The IP Animals homepage shows your IPv4 and IPv6 privately in your browser.
Is it safe and private?
Showing you your own public IP is a completely normal, harmless thing that thousands of sites do. That said, IP Animals doesn't own or operate iphorse.com — it belongs to its own keeper — so its privacy practices are its own. See our about page and whether an IP address is personal data for more.
