FAQ

Why does my IP change?

Most home internet plans use dynamic IPs that rotate when your router reconnects to the ISP. Mobile networks change your IP even more often, especially when you switch towers. Static IPs are usually a paid add-on for business plans.

Can someone find my exact home address from my IP?

No. The IP can point to your general metro area and your ISP, but the precise street address is only known to your ISP — and they only disclose it to law enforcement with a warrant. More on this in our geolocation guide.

What's the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

IPv4 addresses look like 8.8.8.8; IPv6 addresses look like 2001:db8::1. IPv6 exists because IPv4 ran out of unique addresses years ago. Read our full comparison →

How can I hide my IP?

A reputable VPN, the Tor network, or a residential proxy will mask your IP from the sites you visit. None of these make you anonymous in any absolute sense — they just shift who can see what.
