What Is an IP Address?

An IP address (Internet Protocol) is a unique number assigned to your device when it connects to the internet. Websites, apps, and services use this to communicate with your device.

IPv4 vs IPv6

IPv4 is the older, widely used version (like 192.168.1.1), while IPv6 is the modern format (like 2405:201:abcd::) that supports more devices. This tool displays both.
