Accuracy Note: Geolocation data is approximate (typically accurate to city-level). If you're using a VPN, proxy, or mobile network, the displayed location may differ from your actual location. IP addresses from datacenters or hosting providers may indicate VPN usage.

What Is an IP Address?

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical identifier assigned to every device connected to the internet. It serves two main purposes: identifying the host or network interface, and providing the location of the device in the network. Every time you visit a website, send an email, or stream a video, your IP address is used to route data between your device and the server.

IPv4 vs IPv6

IPv4 addresses consist of four numbers separated by dots (e.g., 192.168.1.1), providing roughly 4.3 billion unique addresses. Due to the rapid growth of internet-connected devices, IPv6 was developed, using a longer hexadecimal format (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334) that supports virtually unlimited addresses.

What Your IP Address Reveals

Your IP address can reveal your approximate geographic location (typically city-level), your Internet Service Provider (ISP), and whether you are using a VPN or proxy. Websites and online services use this information for content localization, security measures, and compliance with regional regulations.

How to Protect Your IP Address

If you are concerned about privacy, there are several ways to mask your IP address:

  • VPN (Virtual Private Network): Encrypts your traffic and routes it through a server in another location, hiding your real IP address from websites.
  • Proxy Server: Acts as an intermediary between your device and the internet, changing your visible IP address.
  • Tor Browser: Routes your traffic through multiple volunteer-operated servers worldwide, making it difficult to trace back to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is IP geolocation?

IP geolocation is generally accurate at the country level (95-99%) and moderately accurate at the city level (55-80%). It should not be relied upon for precise street-level location. Factors such as VPN usage, mobile networks, and ISP infrastructure can affect accuracy.

Why does my location show a different city?

If you are using a VPN, proxy, or mobile data connection, your IP address may be registered to the location of the VPN server or cell tower rather than your actual location. Some ISPs also route traffic through regional hubs, which can shift the displayed city.

Do you store my IP address?

No. This tool processes your IP address in real-time to display results directly in your browser. We do not store, log, or track any IP addresses or lookup history on our servers. For more details, see our Privacy Policy.

What is the difference between a public and private IP address?

A public IP address is assigned by your ISP and is visible to websites and online services. A private IP address is used within your local network (e.g., 192.168.x.x) and is not visible on the internet. This tool displays your public IP address.

Can someone find my exact location from my IP address?

No. IP geolocation provides only an approximate location, usually accurate to the city or region level. It cannot determine your street address, building, or precise GPS coordinates. Only your ISP has access to more specific location data, and they are bound by privacy laws.
