Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about IP addresses and our lookup tool
What is an IP address?
An IP address is a unique numerical identifier assigned to your device when it connects to the internet. It allows devices to communicate with each other over networks. There are two versions: IPv4 (like 192.168.1.1) and IPv6 (like 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334).
What's the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (about 4.3 billion unique addresses) and is the older standard. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (virtually unlimited addresses) and is the newer protocol designed to replace IPv4 as we run out of available IPv4 addresses.
Is my IP address location accurate?
IP geolocation is generally accurate to the city level, but not precise enough to identify your exact physical address. The location shown is typically your ISP's location or regional hub, not your specific home address.
Can I hide my IP address?
Yes, you can use a VPN (Virtual Private Network), proxy server, or Tor browser to mask your real IP address and appear to be browsing from a different location. This helps protect your privacy and bypass geo-restrictions.
Why does my IP address change?
Most home internet connections use dynamic IP addresses that change periodically or when you restart your router. Some ISPs provide static IP addresses (that don't change) for an additional fee, which is useful for hosting servers or remote access.
Is it safe to share my IP address?
While your IP address alone doesn't reveal personal information, it's generally not recommended to share it publicly. Someone with your IP address could potentially determine your approximate location or attempt network attacks. Always be cautious about where and with whom you share network information.
Do you store my IP address?
No, we do not store, log, or track your IP address or any personal information. All IP lookups are processed in real-time and no data is saved to our servers. Your privacy is completely protected.
Can I check someone else's IP address?
This tool only shows YOUR current IP address. To find someone else's IP address, they would need to visit an IP lookup tool themselves or you would need to use other methods like examining server logs (if you have proper authorization and legitimate reasons).
