CheckMyIP Alternative
Where to check your IP — with an honest status note on checkmyip.com
"checkmyip" is one of those queries where people mostly want one thing: show me my IP address, right now. If you typed it because checkmyip.com would not load — when we checked on July 14, 2026 it returned HTTP 522, a Cloudflare error meaning the origin server did not respond — here is the honest lay of the land, and the fastest ways to get your answer.

Facts from live fetches of each site on 2026-07-13/14. Dashes mean we could not verify the feature — for checkmyip.com, nothing could be verified because the site did not load. whatsmyip.org's copyright line reads 2001-2026; its tool list is from its own homepage navigation.
The fastest ways to check your IP
In a browser: hackmyip.com shows your IP, city, ISP, ASN, network type, and whether you look like a VPN/proxy — no ads, nothing stored. In a terminal: curl hackmyip.com/ip prints the bare IP, and curl hackmyip.com/json returns minimal JSON. In a script or product: GET https://hackmyip.com/api/ip — free, keyless, CORS-enabled.
Honest note on the alternatives
checkmyip.net (a different site from the .com) was live when we checked: a clean single-page IP display with FAQ-style explainers. whatsmyip.org has been running since 2001 by its own copyright line and lists around two dozen utilities, from port scanners to hash generators — a genuinely useful grab-bag, though no API is advertised on its homepage. Both answer the basic question fine. HackMyIP is the right choice when you want the IP answer plus the privacy context around it — is this IP flagged, is my VPN leaking, is my email breached — and programmatic access to all of it.
