IP Fundamentals

Understanding Your IP Address

Clear, trustworthy context for how IPs work and what your connection reveals.

What is an IP Address?

An IP address is a numeric identifier that routes internet traffic to your device. It tells networks where to deliver data so services can respond to you reliably.

Public vs Private IP

Your public IP is assigned by your ISP and visible to the internet. A private IP stays inside your home or office network so your devices can communicate locally.

Why check your IP?

  • Confirm your VPN or proxy is masking your real IP.
  • Troubleshoot routing, latency, or DNS issues.
  • Verify IP reputation before accessing sensitive services.
  • Check location-based access and regional availability.
  • Plan firewall rules or port-forwarding changes.

What you learn here

  • Your public IP and IP version (IPv4 or IPv6).
  • Approximate city, region, and country details.
  • ISP and network ASN information.
  • Timezone data tied to your connection.
  • VPN or proxy detection signals when available.

Location data is approximate and depends on network availability.

Network Security & Privacy

Why network security matters

Your IP address is a durable signal on the internet. Knowing how it behaves helps you protect privacy, reduce tracking, and secure your network activity.

Common security risks
  • IP address tracking and behavioral profiling
  • Location-based targeting and content filtering
  • Network interception or session hijacking attempts
  • ISP-level data retention and monitoring
Protection strategies
  • Use reputable VPN providers and keep them updated
  • Run regular leak checks and network diagnostics
  • Keep router firmware and DNS settings up to date
  • Learn how your network routes traffic and logs data
