}Frequently Asked Questions
What is a public IP address?
A public IP address is a globally unique numerical identifier assigned to your network router or gateway by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). It allows devices across the global internet to route web requests, data packets, and responses back to your network.
Can someone find my exact street address from my IP?
No. IP geolocation relies on ISP routing blocks and typically resolves to your city, state, or ISP regional switching center—usually within a 5 to 20-mile radius. Only your ISP with a valid court subpoena can tie an IP timestamp to a physical residential subscriber contract.
Why do I see both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address?
The global internet is in an ongoing multi-year transition from the 32-bit IPv4 address space (4.3 billion total addresses) to the 128-bit IPv6 standard. Modern ISPs provide "Dual Stack" connectivity, assigning your router both an IPv4 and IPv6 address simultaneously.
How can I hide or mask my public IP address?
You can hide your public IP by routing your network traffic through an encrypted Virtual Private Network (VPN), a SOCKS5/HTTPS proxy, or the Tor network. When connected, destination websites only see the IP address of the VPN relay server.
