Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IP address and why is it important?
An IP address is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to the internet. It's used to identify and locate devices, enable communication between them, and route data across networks. Your IP address reveals your approximate location and internet service provider.
Can this tool detect if I'm using a VPN or proxy?
The tool shows your current public IP address and location data. If you're using a VPN or proxy, it will display the IP and location of that service, not your real location. Compare results with and without VPN to verify it's working correctly.
What's the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (like 192.168.1.1) and can provide about 4.3 billion unique addresses. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (like 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334) and provides virtually unlimited addresses. Most networks use IPv4, but IPv6 adoption is growing as IPv4 addresses run out.
How accurate is the geolocation information?
IP geolocation typically provides accurate country and city-level information based on ISP databases. However, the exact location (coordinates) may be approximate, often pointing to your ISP's data center or city center rather than your precise address. Accuracy varies by ISP and region.
