Frequently Asked Questions about your IP address

Do you want to learn more about your IP address and how to manage it? On this page, we'll answer the most common questions you may have about this topic.

What is an IP?

IP (Internet Protocol) is a protocol used for data communication over a network of interconnected packets. An IP address is a unique numerical identifier assigned to a network interface of any connected device that uses the IP protocol.

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

An IP address can be either public or private:

• A public IP address is assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and identifies you on the internet.
• A private IP address is assigned to each device within your local network, such as your computer, mobile phone, or printer.

How can I find out my public and private IP address?

To find out your private IP address, you can use the command "ipconfig /all" on Windows or "ifconfig -a" on Linux or Android. You can also access your router's settings and look for the information in the LAN or Local Network section.

Why do I need to know my IP address?

Knowing your IP address can be useful for various purposes, such as:

• Setting up internet services hosted on your system, like games, servers, FTP, etc.
• Remotely accessing your local network from another device.
• Troubleshooting connection or performance issues with your internet service provider.
• Hiding or changing your IP address to protect your privacy or access geographically restricted content.

What are IPv4 addresses?

IPv4 addresses are commonly referred to as public IP addresses and are currently composed of four groups of numbers or octets. These octets can have values ranging from 0 to 255. The public IP address uniquely identifies your router on the internet and, consequently, all devices connected through it.

What are IPv6 addresses?

IPv6 addresses are the evolution of IPv4 addresses and are composed of eight groups of four hexadecimal digits. These digits can have values ranging from 0 to 9 and the letters A to F. IPv6 addresses allow for a larger number of available addresses and improve the security and performance of communications.

What are dynamic and static IP addresses?

A public IP address can be dynamic or static:

• A static IP is an address that doesn't change over time.
• A dynamic IP is an address that changes and is not always the same, typically when the router is restarted or the DHCP is renewed.

What is the difference between an IP address and a MAC address?

An IP address is different from a MAC address because the latter is a 48-bit identifier used to uniquely identify a network card and is independent of the network connection protocol. MAC addresses are usually expressed as six groups of two hexadecimal digits separated by colons or hyphens.

How can I hide or change my IP address?

Hiding or changing your IP address can be convenient to protect your privacy or access geographically restricted content. You can use methods such as:

The purpose of IP tools, like those that allow you to view your public IP address, is to better understand your internet connection and ensure the proper configuration of your devices and networks. However, they should not be used for malicious purposes, such as tracking or unauthorized access to computer systems.
