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

A public (WAN) IP address is assigned by your ISP and visible to websites. A private (LAN) IP is used inside your home network (like 192.168.x.x). Your router translates between the two using NAT.

Can someone find my exact location from my IP address?

No. An IP address reveals only an approximate location (city or metro area), not a street address. The geolocation is based on ISP registration data and can be inaccurate.

How do I change or hide my IP address?

Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) or proxy server. A VPN encrypts your traffic and routes it through another server, so websites see the VPN's IP instead of yours.

What is IPv4 vs IPv6?

IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (about 4.3 billion unique addresses) in the format 192.168.1.1. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (virtually unlimited) in the format 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334. IPv6 was created because the world ran out of IPv4 addresses.

Why does my IP address change?

Most ISPs assign dynamic IP addresses that change periodically or when your router reconnects. If you need a permanent IP, you can request a static IP from your ISP, usually for an extra fee.
