More facts and details about looking up IP addresses

Pretty much all that anyone cares about when we go on the internet, is that our connection works. We leave all the connectivity issues to people who know what they’re doing. Still, a little knowledge can go a long way.

“What Is My IP Address?”

As you’re reading this, you’re on the website WhatIsMyIPAddress.com, and you probably first came here to check your IP address. You wanted to know the following:

  1. Your IP address at home, because perhaps IT person needed to know it to do some troubleshooting or to help you connect to the internet.
  2. You wanted to see your IP address because you’re using what’s called a VPN (Virtual Private Network), which masks your “actual” IP address with another. You wanted to make sure your VPN is working as it should.

The arrival of IPv6

For the most part, a majority of the IP addresses in use today are IPv4, which stands for “Version 4.” The IP address was derived from the TCP/IP protocols, is a unique code for the internet, the biggest network we use to connect to the world. Until around 2015, your IP address wasn’t referred to as an IPv4 type: it was just your IP address. But then, the people who were part of monitoring the internet realized that, to their surprise, there weren’t going to be enough new and available IP addresses “indefinitely.” That’s when a new version began gaining exposure and usage.
