The converter identifies IPv4 or IPv6 and helps inspect subnet details used in network planning.
IP address questions
What is a public IP address?
It is the internet-facing address assigned to your connection, commonly by your internet provider. Devices in one home or office may share it.
Can an IP address reveal my exact location?
No. IP geolocation is approximate and often maps to a provider service area or nearby city, not a street or precise building.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses and IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses. IPv6 provides vastly more unique addresses and supports modern internet growth.
Why does my public IP address change?
Many internet providers assign dynamic addresses that can change when a connection reconnects or when the provider renews its network lease.
Does a VPN change my public IP?
Yes. A VPN normally makes websites see the public address of the VPN server instead of the address assigned directly by your internet provider.
Is it safe to share a public IP address?
A public IP does not reveal an exact home address, but it is still network information. Share it only when needed with a trusted support or network professional.
