Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IP address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical identifier assigned to each device on a network. It allows devices to find each other and exchange data. There are IPv4 (e.g., 192.168.1.1) and IPv6 (e.g., 2001:db8::1) addresses.
Can IP reveal exact address?
No, an IP address only shows approximate location (city, region). Your exact address can only be obtained by your ISP, and they are required to provide this information only upon request from law enforcement.
How to hide my IP address?
There are several ways: VPN (Virtual Private Network) replaces your IP with server IP, Tor Browser routes traffic through multiple nodes, Proxy servers act as intermediaries. VPN is the most reliable and fastest method.
Why is my IP different from home?
Most ISPs use dynamic IP addresses that change on reconnection. Also, IP differs across networks (home, work, mobile). For a permanent IP, you need a static address from your ISP (usually a paid service).
What is IPv4 vs IPv6?
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (about 4.3 billion combinations), IPv6 uses 128-bit (virtually unlimited). IPv6 was created due to IPv4 address exhaustion. Many networks support both protocols simultaneously (dual-stack).
Is it dangerous to show my IP?
An IP address alone is not a major threat for regular users. However, attackers can use it for DDoS attacks or hacking attempts. It is recommended to use a firewall and avoid posting your IP on suspicious sites.
