Question 1

What is my IP address?

Accepted Answer

Your IP address is a unique number assigned to your device by your internet service provider. It identifies your device on the internet and reveals your approximate location. Use this tool to instantly see your public IP address.

Question 2

Can someone find my location from my IP?

Accepted Answer

An IP address reveals your approximate location (city/region level), ISP, and country — but not your exact street address. For privacy, consider using a VPN to mask your real IP address.

Question 3

What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

Accepted Answer

IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (like 192.168.1.1) and supports about 4.3 billion addresses. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (like 2001:db8::1) and supports virtually unlimited addresses. Most internet connections still use IPv4, but IPv6 adoption is growing.
