- Public IP: Your address visible to the internet
- ISP: Internet Service Provider - the company providing your connection
- Location: Approximate location based on IP database (not GPS)

Frequently Asked Questions
Your IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical identifier assigned to your device by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). It matters because websites and online services use it to route information to your device, and it can reveal your approximate location. Understanding your IP helps with troubleshooting network issues, security awareness, and privacy management.
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (like 192.168.1.1), allowing about 4.3 billion unique addresses. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (like 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334), allowing for virtually unlimited addresses. IPv6 was created because the world was running out of IPv4 addresses. Most modern networks support both protocols.
No, your IP address only reveals your approximate location, typically to the city or regional level, based on where your ISP is located. It cannot pinpoint your exact street address. The location shown is based on IP geolocation databases, which map IP ranges to geographic areas. For precise privacy, consider using a VPN.
Most home internet connections use dynamic IP addresses, which means your ISP periodically assigns you a new IP address. This can happen when you restart your router, after a power outage, or at regular intervals set by your ISP. Businesses often pay extra for static IP addresses that never change.
An ISP (Internet Service Provider) is the company that provides your internet connection (like Comcast, AT&T, or Verizon). Your ISP knows your actual physical address, can see all unencrypted traffic, and assigns your IP address. This is why using HTTPS websites and VPNs is important for privacy.
