An IP address identifies a device or network on the internet.
- IPv4 looks like 192.168.1.1; IPv6 uses longer hexadecimal addresses.
- A lookup usually shows approximate location and internet provider, not an exact address.
- Your home IP can change; VPNs hide it from websites.
- Private ranges such as 192.168.x.x are only used inside local networks.
- Never share sensitive details with someone just because they know your IP.
