What Is an IP Address?

An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique number assigned to every device connected to the internet. It works like a mailing address — it tells websites and services where to send the data you request.

There are two types of IP addresses:

IPv4 — the most common format, written as four groups of numbers (e.g., 192.168.1.1)
IPv6 — a newer, longer format designed to support more devices

Why Should You Care About Your IP Address?

Your IP address reveals more about you than you might expect:

Your approximate location — city, region, and country
Your ISP — your internet service provider
Your browsing identity — websites use your IP to track your visits

Advertisers, data brokers, and surveillance systems use IP addresses to build profiles of your online activity.

Your internet traffic is encrypted
