Frequently Asked Questions
Your IP address is a unique number linked to your online activity, somewhat like a return address on a letter. It’s assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Your IP address can change, especially when you switch networks or your ISP assigns a new one. This page shows you your current public IP address instantly.
Your public IP address is essential for using the internet. It allows websites to send data back to your device. However, it also reveals your general geographic location (country, city) and your ISP. This information can be used for targeted advertising, content restriction, and, in some cases, by malicious actors for security threats.
Changing your IP address, typically by using a Virtual Private Network (VPN), can be beneficial for several reasons: Enhanced Privacy (hides your activity from your ISP), Access Geo-Restricted Content (makes it seem like you’re in another country), and Improved Security (adds a layer of encryption, especially on public Wi-Fi).
