Frequently asked questions

Answers to common questions about IP addresses, DNS, connectivity, privacy and network tools.

What is an IP address?

A unique number that identifies your device on the internet, like a mailing address for your connection.

Can someone find my exact location from my IP?

No. An IP address generally reveals an approximate city or region, not your exact street address.

IPv4 vs IPv6: what's the difference?

IPv4 uses shorter numeric addresses. IPv6 is newer and provides a much larger address space.
