Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does my IP address change?

Many internet providers assign dynamic IP addresses, which may change whenever your router reconnects or after a certain period. Some business connections use static IP addresses that remain the same.

Can this tool detect if I'm using a VPN or proxy?

Yes. If you are connected through a VPN or proxy, the displayed IP address, ISP, and location will usually correspond to the VPN server rather than your actual internet connection.

Does this tool work on mobile devices?

Yes. The tool works on smartphones, tablets, desktops, and laptops using Wi-Fi, mobile data, or wired internet connections.

What is the difference between a public IP and a private IP?

A public IP address is assigned by your Internet Service Provider and is visible on the internet. A private IP address is used only within your local home or office network and cannot be accessed directly from the internet.

Is it safe to share my IP address?

In most situations, simply knowing your public IP address does not allow someone to access your device. However, it is generally recommended not to share your IP publicly unless necessary, especially when using services that restrict access based on IP addresses.

Can websites see my IP address?

Yes. Every website you visit can see your public IP address because it is required for internet communication. However, your IP address alone does not give websites access to your personal files or devices.

Can I hide my IP address?

Yes. You can hide your public IP by using a VPN, proxy server, or the Tor network. These services replace your real IP address with another one before connecting to websites.

Why is my location inaccurate?

IP-based geolocation provides an approximate location rather than your exact physical address. Depending on your Internet Service Provider, the detected city or region may differ from your actual location.
