What is my

An IP address is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. It serves two main functions: identifying the host or network interface, and providing the location of the device in the network.

Checking your IP address can be useful for various reasons, including:

• Troubleshooting network issues
• Verifying VPN functionality
• Ensuring online privacy and security
• Configuring network settings
• Accessing region-restricted content

The geolocation information provided is generally accurate to the city level. However, it may not always pinpoint your exact location due to various factors such as IP address allocation methods and the use of VPNs or proxy servers. For most purposes, the provided information is sufficiently accurate.

Yes, your IP address is visible to websites you visit and services you use online. However, this doesn't mean they can access your personal information or exact location. To enhance your privacy, you can use a VPN service to mask your real IP address.

It depends on your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and your network setup. Some ISPs assign dynamic IP addresses that change periodically, while others provide static IP addresses that remain constant. For most home users, IP addresses typically change every few weeks or when you restart your modem.
