Your complete guide to your IP address and how to protect yourself online
The internet is a part of our daily lives and we often use it without giving a second thought as to what kind of virtual footprints we are leaving and how this information might be used. The truth of the matter is that you are leaving more cookie crumbs than you think, every single time you access the internet. It all starts with your IP address. Let's take an in-depth look at IP addresses, their different kinds, the information they provide, and what you can do to protect yourself.
What is an IP address?
An IP address is like a unique mailing address for your devices on the internet.
It's a string of numbers that identifies your computer, smartphone, or any other device connected to
a network.Think of it as the way websites and other devices know where to send and receive
information from you.
What is IPv4?
IPv4, the original internet protocol, utilizes a 32-bit system, limiting the total address pool to a mere 4 billion. This finite number of addresses proved insufficient to support the internet's rapid expansion, leading to a critical shortage known as "IPv4 exhaustion." To address this limitation and accommodate the ever-growing number of internet-connected devices, a newer version, IPv6, was introduced with a significantly larger address space.

What is your IP address location?
Your IP address location generally reveals your approximate geographic location, such as your city, state, or region. However, if you're using a proxy server or router, it will identify the location of that device instead. While your exact street address is usually not disclosed, skilled individuals can utilize geolocation techniques to pinpoint your precise location. This technology is widely used in the marketing field.
