The location and geo details of an IP address are not always accurate.
What is an IP address?
An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique numerical identifier assigned to your device by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) whenever you connect to the internet.
When you enter a website name, like google.com, your computer doesn’t understand domain names the way humans do. Instead, it relies on IP addresses, which act like numerical coordinates in the internet’s vast digital landscape.
- 1. You type google.com into your browser.
- 2. Your device queries the Domain Name System (DNS) to find the corresponding IP address (e.g.,
142.250.200.142). - 3. The browser then sends a request to that IP address.
- 4. The website’s server receives the request, processes it, and returns the correct data.
- 5. The page loads on your screen.
Without IP addresses, the internet wouldn’t function—every device, server, and website depends on them for communication.

An IPv4 address is 32-bit (e.g. 192.168.1.1), while IPv6 is 128-bit, offering an almost limitless supply of identifiers.
IPv4, IPv6, and IP Types Explained
There are two main versions of IP addresses in use today, as well as different allocation methods used by your ISP.
IPv4 vs. IPv6
IPv4 is the older standard supporting about 4.3 billion addresses. Because we ran out, IPv6 was introduced, featuring much longer hexadecimal strings to support virtually infinite devices.
Dynamic vs. Static IP
Most home networks use a Dynamic IP, which changes periodically when your router reconnects. Static IPs never change and are typically used by servers for reliable hosting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, poorly configured generic proxies and low-quality VPNs can suffer from DNS or WebRTC leaks. This happens when your browser ignores the secure tunnel and accidentally sends requests through your default ISP, exposing your real IP. Using an advanced, leak-protected infrastructure guarantees your real address remains safely encrypted.
Turn off your VPN and check your IP on this page to see your real ISP and location. Then, turn on your VPN, connect to a server in a different country, and refresh this page. If the IP address and location change to match your VPN server, your connection is secure.
Most consumer internet connections use Dynamic IP addresses assigned by your ISP. This means your IP can change when your router restarts, after a power outage, or when the ISP’s DHCP lease expires. Mobile networks operate similarly.
No. Incognito mode only prevents your browser from saving your local history, cookies, and cache on your device. It does not hide your IP address from the websites you visit, your ISP, or your network administrator. Your IP remains fully visible unless you use a VPN.
No, an IP address alone cannot reveal your specific street address or name to the general public. However, it does reveal your approximate geographic location (city, region, or zip code) and your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Only your ISP has the logs to link your IP to your physical address.
