Understanding IP addresses

Short, accurate answers to the questions behind every network lookup.

What is a public IP address?

A public IP address is the unique, internet-routable address your network presents to the outside world. Websites and services use it to send responses back to you. Everyone behind the same router or gateway typically shares one public IP.

What is IPv4?

IPv4 is the fourth version of the Internet Protocol and the most widely deployed. It uses 32-bit addresses written as four numbers (for example, 203.0.113.42), which allows for roughly 4.3 billion unique addresses.

What is IPv6?

IPv6 is the successor to IPv4, created to solve address exhaustion. It uses 128-bit addresses written in hexadecimal (for example, 2001:db8::1), providing an effectively unlimited pool of addresses and simpler routing.

How is my location determined?

Approximate location comes from geolocation databases that map IP ranges to regions based on how providers allocate and announce them. It reflects your ISP's network, not GPS, so it is an estimate — usually accurate to a city or region.

Does a VPN change my IP?

Yes. A VPN routes your traffic through a remote server, so services see that server's IP and location instead of your own. This masks your real public IP and can make you appear to connect from a different city or country.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about IP addresses and how PacketWizard handles your data.

What is my IP address?
Your IP address is the unique identifier your network uses on the internet. PacketWizard shows your public IP — the address websites and services see when your browser connects — at the top of this page.
Why does my IP change?
Most home and mobile connections use dynamic IP addresses that your provider reassigns periodically or when your router reconnects. Switching networks, restarting equipment, or connecting through a VPN will also change the public IP you present.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (like 203.0.113.42) and supports about 4.3 billion addresses. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (like 2001:db8::1) for a vastly larger pool. Many networks now run both, so you may have an IPv4 and an IPv6 address at the same time.
Can websites see my IP?
Yes. Any server you connect to receives your public IP so it can send responses back. That address can reveal your approximate region and internet provider, which is why privacy tools like VPNs exist to mask it.
Does PacketWizard store my IP?
No. The public IP lookup is computed for your current request only and is not saved. Client-side utilities run entirely in your browser and never transmit your data to a server.
How accurate is IP geolocation?
IP geolocation is an approximation based on how providers allocate address ranges. It is usually accurate to a city or region but can be off, especially for mobile networks, VPNs, or business connections. It is not GPS-precise.
