Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between public and private IP?
Public IP is visible to the internet, assigned by your ISP, used to identify your network externally. Private IP (like 192.168.x.x) is for internal network, not visible outside, used for devices within your home/office network.
Why does my IP address change?
Most home users have dynamic IPs that change when modem resets or periodically. Static IPs (don't change) require special arrangement with ISP. Dynamic IPs are normal for residential internet.
Can someone hack me with my IP address?
Your IP alone isn't enough to hack you. It reveals general location and ISP, but attacks require other vulnerabilities. Use firewall and router security. Don't panic about sharing IP - it's visible to every website you visit.
Is the location accurate?
IP geolocation is approximate - usually accurate to city/region, not exact address. Location reflects where your ISP registered the IP, not your precise physical location. Accuracy varies by database and ISP.
What is IPv6 and do I need it?
IPv6 is the newer internet protocol (IPv4 is running out of addresses). Many connections have both. IPv6 addresses are longer (8 groups of 4 hex digits). Most services support both - you don't need to choose.
How do I hide my IP address?
Use VPN (Virtual Private Network), proxy server, or Tor browser. These services route your traffic through their servers, showing their IP instead of yours. Useful for privacy or accessing geo-restricted content.
Why do websites want my IP?
Websites need IPs to send data back to you (how internet works). IPs also used for analytics, security (blocking malicious IPs), geo-targeting content, and rate limiting. Normal and necessary for internet operation.
What information does my IP reveal?
IP reveals: approximate geographic location (city/region), ISP name, connection type. It does NOT reveal: exact address, name, phone number, or personal information. IP is like a postal code, not a home address.
Use Cases
- Network Troubleshooting: Verify internet connection, check if public IP changed, diagnose connectivity issues, and provide IP to support teams for remote assistance.
- VPN and Proxy Verification: Confirm VPN is active by checking if IP location changed. Verify proxy server connection and ensure anonymity tools work correctly.
- Remote Access Setup: Get IP address for setting up remote desktop, SSH access, gaming servers, or any service requiring your public IP.
- Security and Privacy Checks: Verify your IP isn't exposing unexpected location. Check what information websites can see about your connection.
- Geo-Restriction Testing: Understand why content is blocked or available based on IP location. Test geo-targeting and localization features.
