Frequently Asked Questions

What is my IP address right now?

Your public IP address is the one assigned to your device by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). It is visible above and may change depending on your network or location.

Is my IP address private?

Your public IP address is not private and can be seen by websites you visit. Your private IP address (inside your local network, e.g. 192.168.x.x) is hidden from the internet.

Can websites see my IP?

Yes, every website you visit can see your public IP address. They use it for security, analytics, and location-based features β€” but they cannot access your personal files.

How do I hide my IP address?

The most common and effective ways are:

  • VPN (Virtual Private Network) β€” best combination of privacy, speed & security
  • Tor Browser
  • Proxy servers (usually less secure and slower than a good VPN)

All of these methods mask your real IP and replace it with another one.

Why does my IP address change sometimes?

Most ISPs assign dynamic IP addresses.

Your IP can change when you:

  • Restart your router / modem
  • Switch networks (home β†’ cafΓ© β†’ mobile data)
  • Reconnect after a disconnection
  • After a period of time set by your ISP
