IP Address and Geolocation: Complete Guide

Your IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique identifier assigned to each device connected to the internet. When you ask "what is my IP" or wonder about your internet location, our service instantly determines both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of your device.

What is an IP address and why should you know it?

An IP address serves as your device's digital passport on the internet. Knowing your IP can be useful for:

  • Network equipment and firewall configuration
  • Connection troubleshooting
  • VPN service verification
  • Remote access setup
  • Understanding your network geographic location

Types of IP addresses: IPv4 and IPv6

Modern networks use two main types of IP addresses:

IPv4 — classic format (e.g., 192.168.1.1), consisting of four groups of numbers. This is the most common type of address you see when searching for "my IP address".

IPv6 — new standard (e.g., 2001:db8::1), which solves the IPv4 address shortage problem and provides better security.

IP Geolocation: How it works

Our IP location detection service uses data from leading geolocation information providers:

Geolocation data sources:

  • MaxMind GeoLite2 (maxmind.com) — one of the most accurate geolocation databases
  • IP2Location LITE (ip2location.com) — extensive database with detailed ISP information
  • Sypex Geo (sypexgeo.net) — fast and reliable geolocation
  • DB-IP Lite (db-ip.com) — current data on location and providers

Using multiple data sources allows us to provide the most accurate information about your location, time zone, internet service provider and other network parameters.

Privacy and Security

We do not store your IP addresses or transfer them to third parties. All information is processed locally and displayed only to you. The service works completely anonymously and does not require registration.

Technical Information

In addition to the main IP address, our service provides additional technical information:

  • ISP — the company providing you internet access
  • ASN — Autonomous System Number of your provider
  • Hostname — domain name associated with your IP address
  • Time Zone — determined based on geographic location
  • ZIP Code — approximate ZIP code of your region

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How to find my IP address?

+

Simply visit our MyIP.help website — your IP address will be displayed automatically on the main page. We show both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses if available.

Why is my location showing incorrectly?

+

IP geolocation determines the location of your internet service provider's servers, not your exact physical location. VPN usage, mobile internet, or ISP network infrastructure peculiarities can affect accuracy.

What does "private IP address" mean?

+

Private IP addresses (e.g., 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) are used in local networks and are not visible on the internet. If a private IP is displayed, it means you are connected through a local network or corporate proxy.

Is this service safe to use?

+

Yes, absolutely safe. We do not store your IP addresses, do not use tracking cookies, and do not transfer data to third parties. All processing happens locally in your browser.

Can I hide my IP address?

+

Yes, you can use VPN services, proxy servers, or Tor browser for this. These tools mask your real IP address, showing the address of an intermediate server instead.

What is IPv6 and do I need it?

+

IPv6 is the new version of the internet protocol that solves the IPv4 address exhaustion problem. If your provider supports IPv6, you may have two IP addresses simultaneously. IPv6 provides better performance and security.

Why do different databases show different data?

+

Different geolocation data providers (MaxMind, IP2Location, Sypex Geo, DB-IP) use various information collection methods and update their databases at different times. We show data from all sources so you can compare and get the most accurate picture.

How often does IP address change?

+

This depends on your internet service provider. Many providers assign dynamic IP addresses that can change when rebooting the router or at certain time intervals. Static IP addresses remain unchanged.
