An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique identifier assigned to your device when connected to the internet. It functions like a digital address, allowing websites and services to know where to send data.
Public vs Private IP
Your public IP (shown above) is visible to the internet and assigned by your ISP. Your private IP is used only within your local network (home/office).
IPv4 vs IPv6
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1) and is running out. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses for virtually unlimited combinations and better security.
Why IPs Change
Most residential IP addresses are dynamic, meaning they change periodically. Business connections often use static IPs that remain constant.
IP Geolocation
IP geolocation estimates your physical location based on ISP registration data. It’s accurate to the city level but not your exact street address.
