# internal-ip > Get your internal IP address ## Install ```sh npm install internal-ip ``` ## Usage ```js import {internalIpV6, internalIpV4} from 'internal-ip'; console.log(await internalIpV6()); //=> 'fe80::1' console.log(await internalIpV4()); //=> '10.0.0.79' ``` ## API The package returns the address of the internet-facing interface, as determined from the default gateway. When the address cannot be determined for any reason, `undefined` will be returned. The package relies on operating systems tools. On Linux and Android, the `ip` command must be available, which depending on distribution might not be installed by default. It is usually provided by the `iproute2` package. `internalIpV6Sync()` and `internalIpV4Sync()` are not supported in browsers and just return `undefined`. ### internalIpV6() Returns the internal IPv6 address asynchronously. ### internalIpV4() Returns the internal IPv4 address asynchronously. ### internalIpV6Sync() Returns the internal IPv6 address synchronously. ### internalIpV4Sync() Returns the internal IPv4 address synchronously. ## Related - [internal-ip-cli](https://github.com/sindresorhus/internal-ip-cli) - CLI for this package - [public-ip](https://github.com/sindresorhus/public-ip) - Get your public IP address - [default-gateway](https://github.com/silverwind/default-gateway) - Get your default gateway address ---
