Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IP address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique string of numbers separated by periods (IPv4) or colons (IPv6) that identifies each computer using the Internet Protocol to communicate over a network. It acts like a digital return address for your internet traffic.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 uses a 32-bit address format (like 192.168.1.1), which allows for about 4.3 billion unique addresses. Because we are running out of IPv4 addresses, IPv6 was introduced, which uses a 128-bit format (like 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334) allowing for a virtually infinite number of addresses.
Can someone find my exact physical location from my IP?
No. Your IP address can reveal your general geographic location—such as your country, region, and city—but it cannot pinpoint your exact street address or house. Only your Internet Service Provider (ISP) holds the records linking your IP to your physical address.
How can I hide my IP address?
You can hide or mask your real IP address by using a Virtual Private Network (VPN), a proxy server, or the Tor network. These services route your traffic through an intermediary server, so websites see the server's IP address instead of yours.
Does my IP address change?
Most home users have a 'dynamic' IP address, which means your ISP might assign you a new IP address occasionally (for example, when you restart your router). Some businesses pay for a 'static' IP address, which never changes.
