Frequently Asked Questions
- What is my IP address?
- Your IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique number assigned to your device by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) when you connect to the internet. It acts like a mailing address for your device, allowing websites and services to send data back to you. There are two types: IPv4 (e.g., 192.168.1.1) and IPv6 (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334). Our tool instantly detects and displays your public IP address.
- What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
- IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (about 4.3 billion unique addresses) in dotted decimal format like 192.168.1.1. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (340 undecillion possible addresses) in hexadecimal format like 2001:0db8::1. IPv6 was created because the world ran out of IPv4 addresses. Many networks now support both (dual-stack), and your connection may use either depending on your ISP and network configuration.
- Can someone find my location from my IP address?
- An IP address can reveal your approximate location (city or region level) but not your exact street address. IP geolocation databases map IP ranges to geographic areas, typically accurate to the city level. Your ISP knows your exact address but does not share it publicly. VPNs and proxies can mask your real IP location. Law enforcement can request exact location data from ISPs with a legal warrant.
- What is a public IP vs a private IP address?
- A public IP address is assigned by your ISP and is visible to the internet — this is what websites see when you visit them. A private IP address (like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) is used within your local network (home or office) and is not visible externally. Your router uses NAT (Network Address Translation) to map multiple private IPs to one public IP. Our tool shows your public IP address.
- How do I hide or change my IP address?
- You can hide or change your IP address using: 1) A VPN (Virtual Private Network) — routes traffic through a server in another location, 2) A proxy server — acts as an intermediary, 3) The Tor network — encrypts and routes traffic through multiple nodes, 4) Contacting your ISP to request a new IP. VPNs are the most popular option for privacy, as they encrypt all your traffic and mask your real IP from websites.
- Why does my IP address change?
- Most home internet connections use dynamic IP addresses, which your ISP assigns temporarily and may change periodically (e.g., when your router restarts or your DHCP lease expires). Businesses often use static IP addresses that never change. If you need a consistent IP, you can request a static IP from your ISP (usually for an extra fee) or use a dynamic DNS service.
- What is IP geolocation?
- IP geolocation is the process of determining the geographic location of a device based on its IP address. Geolocation databases map IP address ranges to physical locations using data from ISPs, regional internet registries, and network measurements. Accuracy varies: typically accurate to the country (99%+), region/state (80-90%), and city (50-80%) level. It is used for content localization, fraud detection, and targeted advertising.
