What is an IP Address?

Understanding the digital identifier that connects you to the internet

The Basics

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to a computer network. Think of it as your device's postal address on the internet - it tells other computers exactly where to send information.

Just like your home address helps mail carriers deliver packages to your door, your IP address helps internet services deliver data, websites, emails, and other digital content to your specific device.

Two Main Types

IPv4 Address

Format: 192.168.1.1 (four numbers separated by dots). The original standard with about 4.3 billion possible addresses.

IPv6 Address

Format: 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334 (longer, with colons). The newer standard with virtually unlimited addresses.

Web Browsing

When you visit a website, your IP address tells the server where to send the webpage data back to your device.

Security

IP addresses help identify and track network activity, enabling security measures and access controls.

Geolocation

IP addresses can reveal approximate geographic location, enabling location-based services and content.

Public vs Private IP Addresses

🌐 Public IP Address

This is what our tool shows you - the address your internet provider assigns to your network. It's visible to websites and services you visit.

Example: 203.0.113.45

🏠 Private IP Address

Used within your home or office network. Your router assigns these to your devices, and they're not visible to the outside internet.

Example: 192.168.1.100
