What is an IP address?+
Every device on the internet gets a numeric label called an IP address. It identifies the device on the network and tells other machines roughly where to route traffic.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?+
IPv4 addresses are 32-bit numbers like 172.16.254.1. Only about 4.3 billion exist, and they are running out. IPv6 addresses are 128-bit, written in hexadecimal like 2001:db8::8a2e:370:7334, and effectively inexhaustible. Most connections today use both.
Can someone find my home address from my IP?+
No. IP geolocation resolves to your provider's infrastructure, not your door. Accuracy is city or region level at best. Only your internet provider can link an address to a subscriber, and that requires a legal process.
Why does my location show the wrong city?+
Databases map IP ranges to where providers register and route them, which can be far from where you sit. Mobile carriers, VPNs and corporate networks blur it further. Nothing is wrong with your connection.
How do I hide or change my IP?+
Route traffic through a VPN, a proxy or Tor to mask your real address. If you just want a fresh one, restarting your router usually works when your provider assigns dynamic addresses.
What does the fraud score mean?+
A risk estimate from 0 to 100, built from recent abuse reports, proxy, VPN and Tor detection, and blocklist appearances. Higher means more likely to be associated with suspicious activity.
