Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about IP addresses
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: identifying the host or network interface, and providing the location of the host in the network.
IPv4 is the fourth version of IP and uses a 32-bit address scheme allowing for about 4.3 billion addresses. IPv6 is the most recent version and uses 128-bit addresses, allowing for 340 undecillion unique addresses. IPv6 was developed to deal with the long-anticipated problem of IPv4 address exhaustion.
Your IP address can reveal your approximate geographic location (usually your city or region) and your Internet Service Provider. However, it cannot pinpoint your exact physical address or personal identity without additional information from your ISP.
Most residential ISPs assign dynamic IP addresses that change periodically. This could happen when you restart your router, after a certain time period, or when your ISP makes network changes. Some services offer static IP addresses that don't change.
You can hide your real IP address by using a VPN (Virtual Private Network), proxy server, or the Tor network. These services route your internet traffic through their own servers, making it appear to come from their IP address instead of yours.
Generally, sharing your IP address is low risk as websites you visit already see it. However, you should avoid sharing it with untrusted parties as it could potentially be used for targeted attacks or to attempt to gain unauthorized access to your network.
