Frequently Asked Questions
What is a public IP address?
A public IP address is the address assigned to your internet connection by your ISP. It is visible to websites and servers you connect to. Every device on your home network shares the same public IP address — your router handles the internal routing between devices.
Why does my IP address show a different city than where I am?
IP geolocation is based on database records and is not always accurate at the city level. Your ISP may route your traffic through a different city, or the geolocation database may have outdated records. Country-level accuracy is generally reliable but city-level can be off by hundreds of kilometres.
Does my IP address change?
Most residential ISPs assign dynamic IP addresses that can change when you restart your router or after a period of inactivity. Business connections often have static IP addresses that never change. Mobile data connections change IP frequently as you move between cell towers.
Can websites see my IP address?
Yes. Every website you visit can see your IP address — it is required to send data back to you. Your IP address can reveal your approximate location, ISP and the type of connection you are using. Using a VPN replaces your IP with the VPN server's IP address.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses look like 192.168.1.1 — four numbers separated by dots. IPv6 addresses look like 2001:4860:4860::8888 — longer hexadecimal notation. IPv4 has about 4 billion possible addresses which are now exhausted. IPv6 provides virtually unlimited addresses. Most devices today support both.
