Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- What is an IP address?
- An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. It serves two main functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing.
- What's the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
- IPv4 is the older version and has a 32-bit address format (e.g., 192.168.1.1). IPv6 is the newer version with a 128-bit address format (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334), designed to address the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses.
- Is this my public or private IP?
- This tool displays your public IP address(es), which are the IP addresses visible to other devices and servers on the internet.
- How accurate is the location information shown?
- This tool attempts to show your ISP, organization, city, region, and country. This information is derived from databases that map IP addresses to geographical locations. While generally accurate for fixed-line connections, the location for mobile IPs or those using VPNs/proxies can be less precise and might reflect the location of a network provider or a server rather than your exact physical spot. The map provides a visual representation of this estimated location.
- Why would I need to know my IP address?
- Knowing your IP address can be useful for various reasons, such as configuring network settings, setting up remote connections, troubleshooting internet issues, or for online gaming and services that might require it.
- Does my IP address change?
- Most residential internet users have dynamic IP addresses that change periodically (when you reconnect your router or when your ISP updates them). Business connections and some premium residential services may have static IPs that remain constant. You can use this tool to check if your IP has changed.
Understanding IP Addresses
Your public IP addresses are assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). They can be dynamic (changing periodically) or static (remaining the same). This tool helps you identify your current public-facing IP addresses at any given time.
With the global depletion of IPv4 addresses, many networks now use IPv6 for connectivity. Our tool displays both types if available, giving you a complete view of how your device connects to the internet.
IP Address Security and Privacy
Your IP address is a public identifier on the internet, similar to your home address in the physical world. While knowing your IP address alone doesn't give others access to your devices, it's still important to understand privacy implications:
- Consider using a VPN service if you want to mask your real IP address
- Be cautious about sharing screenshots that include your IP address
- If you experience targeted attacks, contact your ISP about changing your IP
- For sensitive work, consider using services like Tor for additional anonymity
Remember that this tool is designed to show your IP information only to you – we don't store or share this data with others.
