IPv4 vs IPv6

IPv4: Older format, dotted decimal notation (192.168.1.1). Limited addresses (4.3 billion). Still dominant but depleting.

IPv6: Newer format, hexadecimal notation (2001:0db8::1). Virtually unlimited addresses (340 undecillion). Future internet standard.

Transition: Internet gradually shifting to IPv6. Both formats co-exist currently. Most services support both.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I hide my IP address?

Yes. VPNs, proxies, and Tor network can hide or mask your IP. Trade-off is often slower speeds. Your ISP can still see your traffic even with VPN.

How accurate is IP geolocation?

Country-level accuracy is 99%+. City-level is 70-90% accurate. Precise location depends on data sources and database updates. Large cities more accurate than rural areas.

Can I find someone's address from their IP?

Not precisely. IP reveals approximate city location but not street address. Additional information needed to identify specific person. Most lookups show ISP, not personal info.

What does my ISP see?

Your ISP sees all traffic on your connection including websites visited and apps used. VPN encrypts traffic so ISP can't see destination, but they see you're using VPN.
