How to check your IP address shows India

You are connected to an Indian server, but a site still treats you as abroad. Before anything else, check what address the world actually sees. It takes a minute and tells you where to look next.

The one-minute check

  1. Connect Cybo VPN to India (Mumbai). Wait until the app shows it is connected.
  2. Open your browser and search "what is my IP". The search page shows your public IP address, and most results also show the country.
  3. Read the country. If it says India, your connection is doing its job. If it shows the UAE, Saudi Arabia or wherever you live, the VPN is not carrying that app's traffic: reconnect and check again.

It says India, but the site still says abroad

Then the site is deciding from something other than your IP address. Check these:

  • An old page or app session. Close the tab or the app and open it again after connecting.
  • Cookies. The site may have remembered your country from an earlier visit. Clear its cookies.
  • Device location. If the browser or app may read your location, it sees where you really are. Turn that permission off for the site.
  • Your account. The country on your account, your payment card or your phone number can matter more than the address. A VPN does not change those.
  • Google Play. Which apps Play offers follows your Play account's country, not your IP address.

Checking on Android TV

If the TV has a browser, run the same search there. If not, open the app you care about after Cybo shows it is connected; if it was already open, close it first. Setup help is in the Android TV setup guide and VPN on an Android TV box.

Getting an Indian IP address

Cybo VPN is on Google Play for Android phones, tablets and Android TV. India (Mumbai) is a PRO server; the free plan uses Singapore, Germany and the United States so you can try the app first. See how to open Indian websites from the UAE for the full troubleshooting list. Cybo is a privacy tool, not a way around the rules where you live.

FAQ

Good to know.

What does an IP address tell a website?+

Roughly which country, and often which city and network, a connection comes from. It does not tell the site who you are.

Why does my IP still show my real country?+

The VPN is not connected, or was connecting when you checked. Wait for the app to show it is connected, then search again.

Does the free plan give an Indian IP address?+

No. The free plan covers Singapore, Germany and the United States. India is a PRO server.
