Who it's for

Networking tools for people who run infrastructure

PacketWizard is for IT professionals, network engineers, system administrators, and security teams — not a generic consumer gadget site.

Built for network work

DNS, IP intelligence, WHOIS/RDAP, TLS, ports, and speed tests in one place — the daily stack for network engineers.

Made for IT professionals

Structured output, copy-ready values, and investigation-friendly layouts designed for tickets, change windows, and on-call.

Useful to security teams

Quick ownership, certificate, and mail-auth checks when you need to validate infrastructure during an investigation.

Reliable over flashy

Tools prioritize consistent results. The internet speed test is intentionally simple so it finishes when you need it.

Privacy conscious

Public IP lookup is computed per request and not stored. Many utilities run entirely in your browser.

Easy to find and reuse

Clear tool pages, internal links, and search-friendly docs so the right diagnostic is one query away.

Understanding IP addresses

Short, accurate answers to the questions behind every network lookup.

What is a public IP address?

A public IP address is the unique, internet-routable address your network presents to the outside world. Websites and services use it to send responses back to you. Everyone behind the same router or gateway typically shares one public IP.

What is IPv4?

IPv4 is the fourth version of the Internet Protocol and the most widely deployed. It uses 32-bit addresses written as four numbers (for example, 203.0.113.42), which allows for roughly 4.3 billion unique addresses.

What is IPv6?

IPv6 is the successor to IPv4, created to solve address exhaustion. It uses 128-bit addresses written in hexadecimal (for example, 2001:db8::1), providing an effectively unlimited pool of addresses and simpler routing.

How is my location determined?

Approximate location comes from geolocation databases that map IP ranges to regions based on how providers allocate and announce them. It reflects your ISP's network, not GPS, so it is an estimate — usually accurate to a city or region.

Does a VPN change my IP?

Yes. A VPN routes your traffic through a remote server, so services see that server's IP and location instead of your own. This masks your real public IP and can make you appear to connect from a different city or country.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about PacketWizard, public IPs, and mail authentication tools.

What is PacketWizard?

PacketWizard is a browser-based networking and infrastructure toolkit for IT professionals, network engineers, system administrators, and security teams. It covers IP lookups, DNS, TLS, mail authentication, identity, and everyday utilities in one workspace.

What is my IP address?

Your IP address is the unique identifier your network uses on the internet. PacketWizard shows your public IP — the address websites and services see when your browser connects — via the What Is My IP tool and on the homepage when available.

Why does my IP change?

Most home and mobile connections use dynamic IP addresses that your provider reassigns periodically or when your router reconnects. Switching networks, restarting equipment, or connecting through a VPN will also change the public IP you present.

What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (like 203.0.113.42) and supports about 4.3 billion addresses. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (like 2001:db8::1) for a vastly larger pool. Many networks now run both, so you may have an IPv4 and an IPv6 address at the same time.

Can PacketWizard check SPF, DKIM, and DMARC?

Yes. The Mail Authentication category includes SPF, DKIM, and DMARC inspectors and builders, plus BIMI, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, and an email header analyzer for delivery timelines.

Does PacketWizard store my IP or pasted data?

Public IP lookup is computed for your current request only and is not saved as history. Client-side utilities run in your browser. Avoid pasting secrets into shared recordings or tickets.

How accurate is IP geolocation?

IP geolocation is an approximation based on how providers allocate address ranges. It is usually accurate to a city or region but can be off, especially for mobile networks, VPNs, or business connections. It is not GPS-precise.
