What is an IP address?
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. It serves two main functions: network interface identification and location addressing.

What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 is the older, standard version of IP addressing using a 32-bit format (e.g., 192.168.1.1). IPv6 is the newer version utilizing a 128-bit format to allow for vastly more unique addresses. Because IPv4 addresses are running out, IPv6 was introduced to ensure the endless growth of the internet.
Can someone find my exact location from my IP?
No. Typically, an IP address only provides the geolocational area of your internet service provider (ISP), such as your city or region, but it does not reveal your home or precise street address.
