Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
↓
IPv4 is the older, more common IP address format (e.g., 192.168.1.1). IPv6 is the newer standard with a much larger address space (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334). Our tool detects whichever protocol your ISP assigns you.
Can my IP address change?
↓
Yes. Most home internet connections use "dynamic" IP addresses, meaning your ISP may change your IP periodically. If you restart your router or modem, you might get a new IP address.
Does an IP address show my exact home address?
↓
No. IP geolocation provides an approximate location—typically the city, region, or general area where your ISP's server is located, not your actual street address.
