Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IP address?
An IP address is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to the internet. IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1) while IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (e.g., 2001:0db8::1). Your public IP is visible to every website you visit.
Can someone find my exact location from my IP?
No. IP geolocation is approximate — typically accurate to city level but not street address. ISPs assign IPs to regions, not individual buildings. A VPN or proxy will show a completely different location. Law enforcement can request exact details from your ISP with a warrant, but websites cannot.
What is the difference between public and private IP?
Your public IP is assigned by your ISP and visible to the internet. Your private IP (like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) is used within your local network and is not visible externally. Multiple devices on the same WiFi share one public IP but have different private IPs.
Is this tool safe to use?
Yes. We use the free ip-api.com service for lookups. Your IP is sent to their API for geolocation data, which is a standard practice used by millions of websites. We do not store or log any IP addresses.
How do I hide my IP address?
Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to mask your real IP with the VPN server IP. Popular options: NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Mullvad. You can also use Tor Browser for maximum anonymity, though it is slower.
