Common questions

What's the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses with limited capacity, while IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses with a vastly larger address space and alphanumeric notation.

Public vs Private IP: what's the difference?

A public IP is used for communication on the internet and is typically assigned by your ISP. A private IP is assigned by your router and used only within your local network.

Can my IP address change?

Yes. Most home/office networks use dynamic public IPs that may change periodically. Restarting your router or contacting your ISP can also result in a new IP.

How accurate is IP-based geolocation?

It typically identifies your country/region/city but won't pinpoint a street address. Accuracy varies by data source and ISP allocation strategy.

How can I better protect my online privacy?

Use a VPN or similar tools to hide your real IP and protect your traffic, reducing tracking risks. Always comply with local laws and service terms.
