What is an IP Address?

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical identifier assigned to every device connected to the internet or a network. Think of it like a phone number or mailing address for your computer, smartphone, router, or any internet-connected device.ninjaone+1

Public vs Private IP Addressesninjaone

Public IP Address:ninjaone+1

  • Visible to the internet – What websites see when you connectwhatismyipaddress
  • Assigned by your ISP – Your internet provider controls itninjaone
  • Unique globally (with rare exceptions) – No two devices share the same public IP
  • Changes periodically – Most home users have dynamic IPs that changeninjaone
  • What this tool shows – Your public-facing internet addresswhatismyipaddress

Private (Local) IP Address:ninjaone

  • Only within your network – Used inside your home/officeninjaone
  • Assigned by your router – Usually 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.xninjaone
  • Not unique globally – Millions of devices use same private IPs
  • Hidden from internet – Websites can't see theseninjaone
  • Examples: 192.168.1.10, 10.0.0.5, 172.16.0.2ninjaone

Key difference: When you visit a website, it sees your public IP (what this tool shows), not your device's private IP.ninjaone

IPv4 vs IPv6whatismyipaddress+1

IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4):

  • Format: Four numbers separated by dots (e.g., 203.0.113.45)
  • Range: Each number 0-255
  • Address space: ~4.3 billion addresses
  • Status: Depleted globally, still most commonwhatismyipaddress
  • Example: 192.168.1.1, 8.8.8.8, 172.217.14.206

IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6):whatismyipaddress+1

  • Format: Eight groups of hexadecimal separated by colons
  • Example: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334
  • Abbreviated: 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334 (zeros collapsed)
  • Address space: 340 undecillion addresses (virtually unlimited)
  • Status: Growing adoption, future standardwhatismyipaddress
  • Compatibility: Many connections now have both IPv4 and IPv6whatismyipaddress+1

Why both exist: IPv4 addresses ran out, so IPv6 was created. During the transition period, most devices support both protocols.whatismyipaddress+1

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my IP location wrong?

Common reasons for location inaccuracies:

  1. ISP infrastructure – Your IP may be registered to ISP headquartersninjaone
  2. Dynamic IP – Recently reassigned IP with outdated database info
  3. VPN/Proxy active – Shows VPN server location insteadwhoer
  4. Mobile connection – Cellular IPs less precisely mapped
  5. Database lag – Geolocation databases not updated yetipinfo
  6. Border areas – May show neighboring city or region

This is normal – IP geolocation is approximate, not GPS-precise.litport

Can websites see my exact address from my IP?

No, IP addresses do not reveal exact street addresses. Geolocation provides:litport

  • ✅ Country (very accurate)litport
  • ✅ Region/state (fairly accurate)litport
  • ✅ City (moderately accurate)litport
  • ❌ Street address (NOT possible from IP alone)litport

Only your ISP knows which customer uses each IP address, and they protect this information.ninjaone

How do I find my local/private IP address?

This tool shows your public IP. For local IP:ninjaone

Windows:ninjaone

  • Open Command Prompt
  • Type ipconfig
  • Look for "IPv4 Address"ninjaone

macOS/Linux:

  • Open Terminal

  • Find inet address

Settings method:ninjaone

  • Windows: Settings > Network & Internet > Propertiesninjaone
  • Mac: System Preferences > Network
  • Shows local IP like 192.168.1.xninjaone

Why do I have two IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6)?

Dual-stack connectivity means you have both protocols:whatismyipaddress+1

  • IPv4 – Traditional address format (e.g., 203.0.113.45)
  • IPv6 – Modern address format (e.g., 2001:0db8::1)whatismyipaddress

Why both:

This is normal and beneficial – provides redundancy and future-proofing.

How can I hide or change my IP address?

Methods to mask your IP:whoer

VPN (Virtual Private Network):whoer

  • Most effective method for privacywhoer
  • Encrypts traffic and masks real IP
  • Shows VPN server location insteadwhoer
  • Popular services: NordVPN, ExpressVPN, ProtonVPN

Proxy Servers:

  • Intermediary server forwards requests
  • Basic IP masking
  • Less secure than VPN
  • Free and paid options available

Tor Browser:

  • Maximum anonymity through multi-layer routing
  • Slowest speed
  • Strong privacy protection
  • Free and open-source

After connecting, use this tool to verify your IP changed.whoer

Does my IP address change?

Depends on your ISP and connection type:

Dynamic IPs (most common):ninjaone

  • Changes periodically (daily, weekly, monthly)
  • Assigned from ISP's IP pool
  • Standard for residential internet
  • Changes on router/modem restart

Static IPs:

  • Never changes
  • Usually costs extra from ISP
  • Common for businesses
  • Required for hosting servers

Check history: Visit this tool periodically to see if your IP changes.

Is my IP address safe to share?

Generally yes, but with context:

Safe to share when:

  • Troubleshooting with technical supportninjaone
  • Setting up remote access for trusted services
  • Gaming with friends
  • Required by legitimate websites/services

Avoid sharing publicly:

  • Don't post IP addresses on social media
  • Be cautious in public forums
  • Don't give to untrusted parties
  • Consider privacy implications

Risks are limited: IP alone doesn't reveal personal identity or enable hacking, but it can reveal general location and may enable targeted DDoS attacks.whatismyipaddress

Can someone hack me with my IP address?

No, IP addresses alone don't enable hacking. However:

What attackers CANNOT do with just your IP:

  • Access your files or personal data
  • See passwords or account information
  • Control your device remotely
  • Read your emails or messages
  • View your browsing history

What they MIGHT do:

  • Perform targeted DDoS attacks (overload connection)
  • Scan for open ports and vulnerabilities
  • Determine approximate locationwhatismyipaddress
  • Track your general online activity
  • Target with region-specific attacks

Protection: Keep router firmware updated, use firewall, don't expose unnecessary services.
