Detecting your IP...
What is a public IP address? ▼
Your public IP is the address assigned to your internet connection by your ISP. It identifies your network on the internet and can reveal your approximate location.
Can someone find my exact address from my IP? ▼
No. An IP address can only reveal your approximate city/region and ISP. Your exact street address cannot be determined from your IP alone.
How can I hide my IP address? ▼
You can use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) or a proxy server to mask your real IP address with a different one from another location.
What is IPv4 vs IPv6? ▼
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1) supporting ~4 billion addresses. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (e.g., 2001:db8::1) supporting virtually unlimited addresses.

Your IP address is a unique number assigned to your device by your internet provider. It identifies your device on the internet, similar to a home address for mail delivery.
