A few things worth understanding about the address behind your connection.
What is an IP address?
An Internet Protocol address helps networks route data to the right destination. Your public address identifies the internet-facing connection, which may be shared by several devices or subscribers. Learn how IP addresses work.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses, often written as four numbers separated by dots. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses written in hexadecimal. Many networks support both, but each request uses one family. Compare IPv4 and IPv6.
Is my IP address public or private?
The address shown here is the internet-facing address seen by Cloudflare. Your device can also have a private address on your home or work network. Private IPv4 addresses are not routed across the public internet. Understand address scopes.
Can someone find my exact location from my IP?
An IP address alone does not reveal your precise home address or GPS position. Location databases estimate a region or city and can be wrong, especially for mobile networks, VPNs, and proxies. Read about IP location.
How can I hide my IP address?
A VPN or Tor can make websites see an exit server’s IP instead of your usual address. The network operator or VPN provider may still observe connection information. Changing the address websites see does not make every activity anonymous.
Why does my IP address change?
Your provider may assign addresses dynamically. Reconnecting, switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data, changing VPN servers, or IPv6 privacy addressing can change the address a website sees.
