Frequently asked questions

What is an IP address?

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to the internet. It identifies your device on the network and provides your approximate location. There are two versions: IPv4 (e.g. 192.168.1.1) and IPv6 (e.g. 2001:db8::1).

What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

IPv4 addresses are 32-bit numbers written as four decimal octets (e.g. 203.0.113.1), providing about 4.3 billion unique addresses. IPv6 addresses are 128-bit, written in hexadecimal groups (e.g. 2001:db8::1), offering a virtually unlimited address space. IPv6 was created because the world ran out of IPv4 addresses.

Can someone find my location from my IP address?

An IP address reveals your approximate location — typically your city and region — but not your exact street address. The accuracy depends on your ISP and how they allocate addresses. Using a VPN or proxy changes the visible IP to the server’s location instead of yours.

Why does my IP address change?

Most residential internet connections use dynamic IP addresses, meaning your ISP may assign a different address each time your router reconnects. If you need a fixed address, you can request a static IP from your ISP, which is common for hosting servers or remote access.

What is an ASN?

An ASN (Autonomous System Number) identifies a network operated by a single organization — typically an ISP, cloud provider, or large enterprise. It’s used in BGP routing to direct traffic between networks on the internet.

What does dual-stack mean?

Dual-stack means your connection supports both IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously. This ensures compatibility with older IPv4-only services while taking advantage of the larger IPv6 address space. You can check your dual-stack support with the tool above.
