FAQs
Q.: What is an IP address?
A.: An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to a computer network. It serves two main functions: identifying the host or network interface and providing the location of the device in the network so that data can be routed correctly.
Q.: What information can an IP lookup reveal?
A.: An IP address lookup can provide detailed technical data about a connection, including the approximate geolocation (City, Region, and Country), the Internet Service Provider (ISP), and the Autonomous System Number (ASN). It may also show the hostname and whether the IP is associated with a VPN, Proxy, or Tor exit node.
Q.: Why does my IP show a different city or location?
A.: IP geolocation is an estimate, not a precise GPS coordinate. Your IP address is often registered to your ISP's central data center or a regional hub rather than your home address. Furthermore, if your ISP has recently reassigned a block of IP addresses from another city, it may take geolocation databases several weeks to update their records.
Q.: Can someone find my exact home address using my IP?
A.: No. A standard IP lookup cannot pinpoint your exact physical address or reveal your personal identity (name, phone number, etc.). It generally only provides the location of your ISP's exchange. Only law enforcement agencies, with a legal subpoena, can request your exact identity and address from your Internet Service Provider.
Q.: What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
A.: IPv4 uses a 32-bit address format (e.g., 192.168.1.1), providing about 4.3 billion unique addresses. IPv6 was created to solve the shortage of IP addresses by using a 128-bit format (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334), which allows for an almost infinite number of unique addresses and better network efficiency.
Q.: How can I hide or change my public IP address?
A.: The most effective way to hide your IP address is by using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or a Proxy server. These services route your traffic through a different server, masking your real IP with the server's IP. Additionally, most home users have a Dynamic IP, which can often be changed simply by restarting your router.
