For example, 192.0.2.146.\nMany Internet Service Providers still use the IPv4. However, it can only generate\n4.3 billion\nunique IP addresses, much less than what is needed in this digital world. That being said, the protocol is expected to run out soon.\nThe IPv4 addresses contain two major parts: the network prefix and the host number.\nIPv6\nAn IPv6 address comprises of 8 different groups of numbers. Each group contains 4 hexadecimal digits and is divided by colons.\nAn example includes 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334.\nGroups containing the digit 0 are often omitted and replaced by a single colon to save space. In this scenario, the above example would be 2001:0db8:85a3:8a2e:0370:7334.\nUnlike IPv4, IPv6 have the potential to generate about\n340 undecillion\n(10^27 billions) unique IP address.\nWhy Hasn’t the IPv6\nFully Adopted\nYet?\nIPv6 has much more potential than IPv4. It provides enough IP addresses that they won’t run out. Some people even see IPv6 as a more secure and efficient technology offering much better quality and functionality.\nHowever, the technology isn’t yet fully deployed for the following reasons:\nCompatibility issues\n: IPv6 isn’t compatible with IPv4 systems. Which means you can’t access IPv4 websites with devices running IPv6.\nAdaptation Issues\n: Since IPv4 still meets our needs, switching immediately to IPv6 will not offer enough benefits. The global transition can only occur once the IPv4 reaches its limit.\nWhat Does Your IP Address Tell\nAbout You?\nYour IP address reveals a lot more than you can ever imagine!\nIP Address Location\nIt can reveal your exact street address, putting your privacy at risk and giving cybercriminals easy access to your device.\nInternet Activities\nEverything from browser history to online searches is stored on your IP address and can easily be tracked by cybercriminals.\nBuying Behavior\nYour searches on the internet can allow ISPs and third parties to determine your buying behavior, allowing third parties to influence your interests and opinions.\nBrowsing History\nThe public IP address provided by your ISP can be used to track all your online activities, including your browsing history.\nDifference Between IPv4 and IPv6 Address\nIPv6 and IPv4 are the most common two types of IP addresses. IPv4 offered approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses, which was enough in the early days.   However, as the number of internet users continue to grow, these addresses become scarce. To address the limitations of IPv4, IPv6 was introduced in June 2016 that had the ability to provide endless addresses, ensuring future growth of the internet.\nIPv4 Address\nIPv4 is the first iteration of IP to be used.\nIPv4 uses a 32-bit address.\nIPv4 can generate around 4.29×109 address space.\nIt supports manual and DHCP address configuration.\nIPv4’s header is 20-60 bytes long.\nIPv4 IP addresses are divided into five different classes. (Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, and Class E)\nExample of IPv4:\n12.44.69.63\nIPv6 Address\nIt is a newer version of the IP address.\nIPv6 uses a 128-bit address.\nIPv6 address space is large, producing 3.4×1038 address space.\nIt supports auto and renumbering address configuration.\nIPv6’s header is 40 bytes fixed.\nIPv6 addresses do not have any classes of IP addresses.\nExample of IPv6:\n2001:0000:3238:DFE1:0063:0000:0000:FEFB\nFrequently Asked\nQuestions\nWe use cookies for providing you with the best-possible user experience.

For example, 192.0.2.146.\n\nMany Internet Service Providers still use the IPv4. However, it can only generate [4\\.3 billion](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPv4_address_exhaustion) unique IP addresses, much less than what is needed in this digital world. That being said, the protocol is expected to run out soon.\n\nThe IPv4 addresses contain two major parts: the network prefix and the host number.\n\n![](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IPv6.svg) IPv6\n\nAn IPv6 address comprises of 8 different groups of numbers. Each group contains 4 hexadecimal digits and is divided by colons.\n\nAn example includes 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334.\n\nGroups containing the digit 0 are often omitted and replaced by a single colon to save space. In this scenario, the above example would be 2001:0db8:85a3:8a2e:0370:7334.\n\nUnlike IPv4, IPv6 have the potential to generate about [340 undecillion](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPv6) (10^27 billions) unique IP address.\n\n## Why Hasn’t the IPv6 Fully Adopted Yet?\nIPv6 has much more potential than IPv4. It provides enough IP addresses that they won’t run out. Some people even see IPv6 as a more secure and efficient technology offering much better quality and functionality.\n\nHowever, the technology isn’t yet fully deployed for the following reasons:\n\n1. **Compatibility issues**: IPv6 isn’t compatible with IPv4 systems. Which means you can’t access IPv4 websites with devices running IPv6.\n2. **Adaptation Issues**: Since IPv4 still meets our needs, switching immediately to IPv6 will not offer enough benefits.

IPv4 offered approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses, which was enough in the early days. However, as the number of internet users continue to grow, these addresses become scarce. To address the limitations of IPv4, IPv6 was introduced in June 2016 that had the ability to provide endless addresses, ensuring future growth of the internet.\n\nIPv4 Address\n\n- IPv4 is the first iteration of IP to be used.\n- IPv4 uses a 32-bit address.\n- IPv4 can generate around 4.29×109 address space.\n- It supports manual and DHCP address configuration.\n- IPv4’s header is 20-60 bytes long.\n- IPv4 IP addresses are divided into five different classes.

However, it’s impossible to tell the exact location of someone by knowing their IP address.\n\nCan someone use your IP address? ![Up](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Vector-chevron.svg)\n\nNo one can steal your IP address and use it as their own. Yet, some organizations have access to your IP address and collect data from it. Your ISP, for instance, knows everything you do on the web, including your IP address and the websites you visit.\n\nWhat does an IP address do? ![Up](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Vector-chevron.svg)\n\nThe primary purpose of an IP address is device identification and location addressing. It’s like a postal address, that helps to transfer data packets between the devices and the internet.\n\nHow do you change your IP address and hide your location? ![Up](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Vector-chevron.svg)\n\nIt’s simple. You only need to use a VPN service (Virtual Private Network). A VPN changes or hides your IP address by replacing it with a new one. Generally, your IP exposes information about your general location, such as the location of the host. ExtremeVPN routes your traffic through a VPN tunnel and masks your IP address, thus giving you a different IP according to your selected server location. Hence, you get more privacy and security as your connection is encrypted, and nobody can trace your location.\n\nDownload the ExtremeVPN mobile app for iOS or Android.\n\n[![App Store](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/app\/themes\/savvy-child\/assets\/images\/appstore.png)](https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/extremevpn-fast-secure-vpn\/id6449742374)   [![Google Play](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/app\/themes\/savvy-child\/assets\/images\/googleplay.png)](https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.extremevpn.vpnclient.android)\n\n- [About Us](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/about-us\/)\n- [Risk-free VPN Trial for 30 Days](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/features\/risk-free-vpn\/)\n- [Reviews](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/review\/)\n- [Trust Center](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/trust-center\/)\n- [ExtremeVPN Cybersecurity Blog](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/blog\/)\n- [Careers at ExtremeVPN](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/careers\/)\n- [ExtremeVPN Free Proxy](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/proxy\/)\n- [Become ExtremeVPN Affiliate](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/affiliates\/)\n\n- [Windows VPN](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/download\/windows-vpn\/)\n- [Mac VPN](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/download\/mac-vpn\/)\n- [Android VPN](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/download\/android-vpn\/)\n- [iOS (iPhone\/iPad) VPN](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/download\/ios-vpn\/)\n- [Chrome VPN](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/download\/chrome-vpn\/)\n- [Router VPN](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/download\/router-vpn\/)\n- [Linux (Soon)](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/what-is-my-ip\/)\n- [Firefox VPN (Soon)](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/what-is-my-ip\/)\n\n- [Characteristics](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/features\/)\n- [VPN for Unrestricted Access](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/vpn-service\/)\n- [US VPN](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/servers\/us-vpn\/)\n- [UK VPN](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/servers\/uk-vpn\/)\n- [Netflix VPN](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/vpn-service\/streaming-vpn\/netflix\/)\n- [WiFi VPN](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/what-is-vpn\/wifi-vpn\/)\n- [Pokémon Go VPN](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/vpn-service\/gaming\/pokemon-go\/)\n- [Torrenting VPN](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/features\/torrenting-vpn\/)\n\n- [What is My IP](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/what-is-my-ip\/)\n- [What is a VPN](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/what-is-vpn\/)\n- [Why ExtremeVPN](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/why-extremevpn\/)\n- [Customer Stories](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/real-users-feedback\/)\n- [Press Area](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/press-area\/)\n- [Influencers Program](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/influencers-program\/)\n- [\\$5,000 Scholarship](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/extremevpn-scholarship\/)\n- [Cybersecurity Glossary](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/cybersecurity\/glossary\/)\n\n- [Support](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/support\/)\n- [Guides](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/support\/setup-guides\/)\n- [FAQs](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/support\/faqs\/)\n- [Privacy Policy](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/privacy-policy\/)\n- [Terms of Service](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/tos\/)\n- [Sitemap](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/human-sitemap\/)\n- [Contact](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/contact-us\/)\n\n![Credit cards](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/app\/themes\/savvy-child\/assets\/svg\/evpn-payment-methods-4.svg)\n\n[English](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/what-is-my-ip\/)\n\n- [English](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/what-is-my-ip\/)\n- [Español](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/es\/what-is-my-ip\/)\n- [Français](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/fr\/what-is-my-ip\/)\n- [Deutsch](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/de\/what-is-my-ip\/)\n- [Português](https:\/\/extremevpn.com\/pt\/what-is-my-ip\/)\n\n© 2025 EXTREME VPN LIMITED.

What is an IP Address? The term IP address stands for Internet Protocol address. An Internet Protocol address is a unique set of numbers, such as 202.69.35, assigned to devices when connected to the Internet. These devices use this IP location to communicate over Internet networks, either internally or externally. The IP address has two main functions: location addressing and network interface identification. IP addresses are the internet’s anchors, connecting you to the World Wide Web and underpinning your digital life. Getting online without a secure IP address is risky because it allows websites to track you down. Why You Must Change Your IP Address Have peace of mind no matter what you do online. Whether browsing, streaming, or playing games, just establish a VPN connection to get a virtual IP and keep yourself hidden. Advanced Protection ExtremeVPN’s military-grade encryption protects you against internet threats and provides secure access to business servers and payments. Our fast servers offer anonymity and security so that you can enjoy a threat-free online experience. Secure Your Location Connect to a secure, private VPN server to hide your location. This will prevent third parties like your ISP and government from tracking your online activities. An IP Only for You Get a new IP address. Change your location to any country you want, say the US, France, Germany, the Netherlands, or anywhere else. Privacy Online ExtremeVPN keeps you secure even on public Wi-Fi. Connect your device to a server, and stay protected at home and open networks. What is a Public IP Address? A Public IP address, also known as an external IP, is assigned by your Internet Service Provider to your device to access the Internet. It allows you to organize your server (FTP, VPN, WEB, etc.) to remotely access your computer and get access to it from anywhere on the global network. Just like every home has a unique address, the IP address is the digital home address of your device connected to a computer network, which allows you to differentiate it among billions of devices on the Internet. What is a Private IP Address? A Private IP address is an IP that devices have over private networks. This IP, also referred to as local IP or internal IP address, remains hidden on the internet and is provided by network devices, such as your routers. How to Find My IP Address It’s pretty easy to find your IP address. Here is how you can do it. How Can I Find My Public IP Address To see your public IP, just scroll to the top of this page.

IPv4’s header is 20-60 bytes long. IPv4 IP addresses are divided into five different classes. (Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, and Class E) Example of IPv4: 12.44.69.63 IPv6 Address It is a newer version of the IP address. IPv6 uses a 128-bit address. IPv6 address space is large, producing 3.4×1038 address space. It supports auto and renumbering address configuration. IPv6’s header is 40 bytes fixed. IPv6 addresses do not have any classes of IP addresses.

Your IP Address: 134\.209.210.10 Your IP Physical Location: North Bergen Your Browser: Google Chrome Your Internet Service Provider: DigitalOcean, LLC Your OS: MacOS Your Device Type: Desktop [Hide Your IP Address](https://extremevpn.com/pricing/) ![City](https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=40.7964,-74.0203&zoom=12&format=jpg&size=300x300&key=AIzaSyDEUTZz9E79j_8usHVf07XpaBWwVoXgGtg) ## What is an IP Address? The term IP address stands for Internet Protocol address. An Internet Protocol address is a unique set of numbers, such as 202.69.35, assigned to devices when connected to the Internet. These devices use this IP location to communicate over Internet networks, either internally or externally. The IP address has two main functions: location addressing and network interface identification. IP addresses are the internet’s anchors, connecting you to the World Wide Web and underpinning your digital life. Getting online without a secure IP address is risky because it allows websites to track you down. ![](https://extremevpn.com/app/uploads/2024/08/What-is-an-IP-Address-Image.svg) ## Why You Must Change Your IP Address Have peace of mind no matter what you do online. Whether browsing, streaming, or playing games, just establish a VPN connection to get a virtual IP and keep yourself hidden. ![](https://extremevpn.com/app/uploads/2023/05/Protect-Your-Online-Privacy.svg) Advanced Protection ExtremeVPN’s military-grade encryption protects you against internet threats and provides secure access to business servers and payments. Our fast servers offer anonymity and security so that you can enjoy a threat-free online experience. ![](https://extremevpn.com/app/uploads/2024/02/Location.png) Secure Your Location Connect to a secure, private VPN server to hide your location. This will prevent third parties like your ISP and government from tracking your online activities. ![](https://extremevpn.com/app/uploads/2023/04/IP.svg) An IP Only for You Get a new IP address. Change your location to any country you want, say the US, France, Germany, the Netherlands, or anywhere else. ![](https://extremevpn.com/app/uploads/2023/04/Ddos-protection.svg) Privacy Online ExtremeVPN keeps you secure even on public Wi-Fi. Connect your device to a server, and stay protected at home and open networks. ## What is a Public IP Address? A Public IP address, also known as an external IP, is assigned by your Internet Service Provider to your device to access the Internet. It allows you to organize your server (FTP, VPN, WEB, etc.) to remotely access your computer and get access to it from anywhere on the global network. Just like every home has a unique address, the IP address is the digital home address of your device connected to a computer network, which allows you to differentiate it among billions of devices on the Internet.

A Private IP address is an IP that devices have over private networks. This IP, also referred to as local IP or internal IP address, remains hidden on the internet and is provided by network devices, such as your routers.

It is typically written in decimal digits formatted as four 8-bit fields separated by dots, containing any number between 0 and 255. For example, 192.0.2.146. Many Internet Service Providers still use the IPv4. However, it can only generate [4\.3 billion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4_address_exhaustion) unique IP addresses, much less than what is needed in this digital world. That being said, the protocol is expected to run out soon. The IPv4 addresses contain two major parts: the network prefix and the host number. ![](https://extremevpn.com/app/uploads/2022/11/IPv6.svg) IPv6 An IPv6 address comprises of 8 different groups of numbers. Each group contains 4 hexadecimal digits and is divided by colons. An example includes 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334. Groups containing the digit 0 are often omitted and replaced by a single colon to save space. In this scenario, the above example would be 2001:0db8:85a3:8a2e:0370:7334. Unlike IPv4, IPv6 have the potential to generate about [340 undecillion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6) (10^27 billions) unique IP address. ## Why Hasn’t the IPv6 Fully Adopted Yet? IPv6 has much more potential than IPv4. It provides enough IP addresses that they won’t run out. Some people even see IPv6 as a more secure and efficient technology offering much better quality and functionality. However, the technology isn’t yet fully deployed for the following reasons: 1. **Compatibility issues**: IPv6 isn’t compatible with IPv4 systems. Which means you can’t access IPv4 websites with devices running IPv6. 2. **Adaptation Issues**: Since IPv4 still meets our needs, switching immediately to IPv6 will not offer enough benefits. The global transition can only occur once the IPv4 reaches its limit. ![](https://extremevpn.com/app/uploads/2024/08/IPV6-Adoption.svg) ## What Does Your IP Address Tell About You? Your IP address reveals a lot more than you can ever imagine\! ![](https://extremevpn.com/app/uploads/2023/04/IP.svg) IP Address Location It can reveal your exact street address, putting your privacy at risk and giving cybercriminals easy access to your device. ![](https://extremevpn.com/app/uploads/2022/11/Union2.svg) Internet Activities Everything from browser history to online searches is stored on your IP address and can easily be tracked by cybercriminals. ![](https://extremevpn.com/app/uploads/2022/11/Union3.svg) Buying Behavior Your searches on the internet can allow ISPs and third parties to determine your buying behavior, allowing third parties to influence your interests and opinions. ![](https://extremevpn.com/app/uploads/2022/11/Union4svg.svg) Browsing History The public IP address provided by your ISP can be used to track all your online activities, including your browsing history. ## Difference Between IPv4 and IPv6 Address IPv6 and IPv4 are the most common two types of IP addresses. IPv4 offered approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses, which was enough in the early days. However, as the number of internet users continue to grow, these addresses become scarce. To address the limitations of IPv4, IPv6 was introduced in June 2016 that had the ability to provide endless addresses, ensuring future growth of the internet. IPv4 Address - IPv4 is the first iteration of IP to be used. - IPv4 uses a 32-bit address. - IPv4 can generate around 4.29×109 address space. - It supports manual and DHCP address configuration. - IPv4’s header is 20-60 bytes long. - IPv4 IP addresses are divided into five different classes. (Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, and Class E) Example of IPv4: 12.44.69.63 IPv6 Address - It is a newer version of the IP address. - IPv6 uses a 128-bit address. - IPv6 address space is large, producing 3.4×1038 address space. - It supports auto and renumbering address configuration. - IPv6’s header is 40 bytes fixed. - IPv6 addresses do not have any classes of IP addresses. Example of IPv6: 2001:0000:3238:DFE1:0063:0000:0000:FEFB ## Frequently Asked Questions What information can your IP address reveal about you? ![Up](https://extremevpn.com/app/uploads/2022/11/Vector-chevron.svg) Your IP address is a unique numerical identity that tells a lot about you, such as your activities, passcode, where you are, city, region, etc. Some websites use these details, along with other information they get from metadata and cookies, to determine your identity. However, it’s impossible to tell the exact location of someone by knowing their IP address. Can someone use your IP address? ![Up](https://extremevpn.com/app/uploads/2022/11/Vector-chevron.svg) No one can steal your IP address and use it as their own. Yet, some organizations have access to your IP address and collect data from it. Your ISP, for instance, knows everything you do on the web, including your IP address and the websites you visit. What does an IP address do? ![Up](https://extremevpn.com/app/uploads/2022/11/Vector-chevron.svg) The primary purpose of an IP address is device identification and location addressing. It’s like a postal address, that helps to transfer data packets between the devices and the internet. How do you change your IP address and hide your location? ![Up](https://extremevpn.com/app/uploads/2022/11/Vector-chevron.svg) It’s simple. You only need to use a VPN service (Virtual Private Network). A VPN changes or hides your IP address by replacing it with a new one. Generally, your IP exposes information about your general location, such as the location of the host. ExtremeVPN routes your traffic through a VPN tunnel and masks your IP address, thus giving you a different IP according to your selected server location. Hence, you get more privacy and security as your connection is encrypted, and nobody can trace your location. Download the ExtremeVPN mobile app for iOS or Android.
