Quick answers to common questions
Your public IP is assigned by your ISP and represents your device on the internet. It is visible to every website you visit. A private IP (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x) is your address on your local network and is not visible to the internet. Tools like this show your public IP as seen by external servers.
From an IP address, a website can typically determine: your approximate city and region (not exact address), your Internet Service Provider, your timezone, and whether you are using a VPN, proxy, or Tor. Your exact home address cannot be determined from an IP — that requires a legal request to your ISP.
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (4 octets: 192.168.1.1), providing ~4.3 billion unique addresses. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (8 groups of 4 hex: 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334), providing 340 undecillion addresses. IPv6 was created to solve IPv4 address exhaustion. Both coexist today in dual-stack deployments.
