What is an IP Address?

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. An IP address serves two main functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing.

IPv4 vs IPv6

IPv4 is the fourth version of the Internet Protocol and uses a 32-bit address scheme allowing for a total of 2^32 addresses (just over 4 billion addresses). Example: 192.168.1.1

IPv6 is the most recent version of the Internet Protocol, designed to replace IPv4. It uses a 128-bit address scheme allowing for 2^128 addresses. Example: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334

Public vs Private IP

The IP address shown on this page is your Public IP Address. This is the address assigned to your router by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and is how the rest of the internet sees you.

Your device also has a Private IP Address assigned by your local router (usually starting with 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x). This is used only within your local home or office network.

Privacy Tips

Your public IP address can reveal your approximate physical location and your Internet Service Provider.

To hide your real IP address and protect your privacy, consider using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or a proxy service.
