Your Connection

See your current IP address and test your internet speed. These help diagnose slow browsing, buffering, and connectivity issues.

Your IP Address

Detecting your IP address...

What is an IP address?

It is the unique number your internet provider assigns to your connection. It can reveal your approximate location and internet provider — but not your exact address, name, or personal details. On a VPN, you'll see the VPN server's IP instead of your own.

How to understand the results

Most homes and small offices work best with speeds above 50 Mbps for both download and upload. If you see results below that, you may notice buffering, slow websites, dropped video calls, or smart-home devices failing to connect reliably.

If your Speedtest results are under 50 Mbps, email me at support@homenetiq.ca. I can help review your modem, router, Wi-Fi coverage, and internet plan to improve your experience.

When you use public Wi-Fi (cafés, hotels, airports), your IP address and traffic on that network can often be visible to others or to the provider. A VPN helps protect your privacy by hiding your real IP address and encrypting what you are doing online.

Not sure which VPN to use or how to set it up? Contact me and I'll show you simple, practical options that fit your needs and comfort level.
