What is an IP address?

An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique string of numbers assigned to each device connected to the internet. It functions like a home address, enabling devices to communicate with each other across networks. Every device, whether it's a smartphone, laptop, or server, requires an IP address to send and receive data online.

Why would I need to know my IP address?

Knowing your IP address can be useful in various situations, such as:

• Troubleshooting network issues.
• Configuring your router or firewall settings.
• Checking if your VPN is working properly.
• Ensuring website or service access based on your location.
• Protecting your privacy by knowing what information is exposed online.

Is my IP address permanent?

No, most IP addresses are not permanent. They are often dynamically assigned by your ISP and can change over time or after resetting your modem/router. However, some users may have a "static IP address," which remains the same. Static IPs are commonly used by businesses or for specific online services.

Can someone track me using my IP address?

While an IP address can provide general information about your location, such as the city or region, it is usually not precise enough to reveal your exact address. However, with access to specific tools and depending on your ISP, someone could potentially use your IP to infer some details about your location. That said, it is difficult to track a person without additional information beyond their IP address.

How accurate is the geolocation information?

Geolocation based on IP addresses is not always exact. It can often identify the city or region where an IP address is located but is typically unable to pinpoint the exact physical address. The accuracy depends on the database being used to map IP addresses to locations, and results can vary between different geolocation services.

What’s the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

IPv4 and IPv6 are two versions of Internet Protocol.

• IPv4: The older and more widely used version, with addresses written in a format like 192.168.1.1. IPv4 allows for approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses, which is not enough for the growing number of devices connected to the internet.
• IPv6: The newer version, designed to replace IPv4, provides a vastly larger address space with formats like 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334. IPv6 supports trillions of unique addresses, solving the exhaustion problem of IPv4.
