What is an IP address?

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is your device's unique identifier on the internet. A public IP address is visible to websites, while a private IP address is only visible on a local network.

Why do I need to know my IP address?

Necessary for configuring servers, network troubleshooting, verifying apparent location, configuring firewalls, and accessing remote services.

IPv4 vs IPv6

IPv4 uses the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (e.g., 192.168.1.1), while IPv6 is longer (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334). Both are displayed.

Additional Information

In addition to the IP address, see your internet service provider (ISP), approximate location, country, and other useful information for network diagnostics.
