What is my IP address?

Your IP address is useful for diagnosing network issues, configuring a server, ensuring online security, and adjusting access settings for internet services.

IPv4 is the older and more widely used version of the Internet Protocol, utilizing 32-bit addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1). This system allows for approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses, which has led to address exhaustion due to the rapid growth of internet-connected devices. IPv6 was introduced to address this limitation by using 128-bit addresses (e.g., 2001:db8::ff00:42:8329), significantly increasing the number of available addresses. This newer protocol also improves network security, enhances routing efficiency, and supports better performance for modern internet services. While many networks still rely on IPv4, the adoption of IPv6 is steadily increasing as organizations transition to the newer standard.

That depends on your internet service provider. A dynamic IP address can change with each reconnection to the network or periodically over time. A static IP address, on the other hand, is permanently assigned and does not change.

Yes, but only approximately. Your IP address can indicate the city or region you are in, but it does not reveal your exact home address.

A block may occur due to a violation of a website’s terms of service, suspicious activity, or anti-spam measures. If your IP address has been blocked and you cannot access a service, contact our technical support for verification.

Yes, in local networks, multiple devices (e.g., computers, phones, smart TVs) can share the same public IP address if they are connected to the same router. However, on the internet, all outgoing connections appear under the same shared address, which may affect access to certain services.
