What is my IP address

* 1080: 0000: 0000: 0000: 0000: 0034: 0000: 417A

What is my IP

This number is an exclusive number that all information technology products (printers, routers, modems, etc.) use and which allows them to communicate between them on a computer network.

There is a communication standard called the Internet Protocol Standard (IP). To simplify, it’s like your postal address. So that you can receive mail at your home, the shipping party must know your exact postal address (IP address) in your city (network), otherwise you cannot receive invoices, tenders on pizzas or your refund D ‘tax. It’s the same for all devices connected to the Internet. Without this specific address, the information cannot be received. IP addresses can be assigned either permanently to an email/business server or a resident of a permanent home, or from a group of available addresses (first arrival, first served) From your internet service provider. A permanent number is not necessarily available in all regions and can be more expensive, so be sure to ask your FAI.

Domain name system (DNS): it allows the IP address to be translated with words. It’s much easier for us to remember a word than a series of figures. It’s the same for email addresses.
For example, it’s much easier for you to memorize a web address with a name like Whatismyip.com to remember 192.168.1.1, or in the case of email, it is much easier to remember [Email Protected] than [Email Protected]

Dynamic IP address: This is an address that is not static and can change at any time. This IP address is distributed to you from a group of IP addresses assigned to your ISP or DHCP server. It is for a large number of customers who do not need to keep the same IP address all the time for various reasons. Your computer automatically obtains this number when it connects to the network and this saves you the boredom of having to know the details of the configurations of the network in question. This number can be attributed to anyone using a telephone connection, wireless and high speed internet connections. If you have to manage your own e-mail or web server server, it is better to have a static IP.

Static IP address: an IP address that is fixed and never changes. This contrasts with the dynamic address that can change at any time. Most FAIs offer a single static IP address or a static IP group for a few additional dollars per month.

IP version 4: currently used in most network devices. However, as more and more computers have access to the Internet, IPV4 addresses are quickly missing. As in a city, addresses must be created for new districts but if your neighborhood becomes too large, you will have to find a whole new addresses group. IPV4 is limited to 4,294 967 296 addresses.

IP version 5: It is an experimental protocol for UNIX systems. In accordance with standard UNIX (a computer operating system), all versions with odd numbers are considered experimental. They have never been designed to be used by the general public.

IP version 6: This is the replacement of the aging IPV4. The estimated number of unique addresses for the IPv6 is 340 282 366 920 938 463 463 374 607 431 768 211 456 or 2^128.

The old and current addresses were as follows: 192.168.100.100, the new formula can be written in different ways but represents the same thing and all are valid:

* 1080: 0000: 0000: 0000: 0000: 0034: 0000: 417A
* 1080: 0: 0: 0: 0: 34: 0: 417a
* 1080 :: 34: 0: 417a

How to change your IP address and hide your location

It is very easy to change your IP address and keep your location as well as your private online activity. Just have a VPN (Virtual Private Network). You can use a VPN to change your IP address and your virtual location. When you use a VPN, your internet traffic is redirected to a encrypted tunnel, so that nobody, not even your ISP, can see what you do online. Connection to a VPN server will make you appear in the same location as the server location. For example, if you are in the United States and connect to a VPN location in the United Kingdom, you will appear to be in the United Kingdom. If you are in Canada and connect to a location in Australia, websites and apps will think you are in Australia. Using a VPN to hide your IP address offers you many advantages:

1. A VPN masks your real location.
2. A VPN figures your data for a secure internet connection.
3. A VPN allows you to change your virtual location easily, for a more complete online experience, without restrictions or constraints linked to censorship or a firewall.

Definition of an IP address

An IP address or Internet Protocol Address is a unique number attributed to each device (a computer, a tablet or a phone for example) when it connects to the Internet.

IPV4 addresses versus ipv6

Two versions of the Internet Protocol are currently used: IP version 4 (IPV4) and IP version 6 (IPv6). They have two main functions: identification and location.

The main difference between IPV4 and IPv6 is the number of possible addresses. IPV4 allows only about 4 billion, because it only uses 32 bits. IPv6 was introduced preventively in 1995 to guarantee enough addresses available in the near future. IPv6 uses 128 bits, which corresponds to 3.4 x 10 38 possible addresses.

Anyone connected to the Internet has a public IP address

To use the Internet, all connected devices must have a public IP address. An IP address allows two devices, the transmitter and the internet communication receiver, to find and exchange information between them.

It works in the same way as postal addresses in real life. To put it simple, if you subscribe to a magazine, the transmitter will need your address to send you a new number. Without address, there is no way to know where to send the magazine.

The same principle applies to the Internet. Without IP address, two devices could not be, and no data exchange would be possible.

Public IP addresses versus private IP addresses

Unlike public IP addresses, private IP addresses are used by private networks to identify and share information between computers and devices (such as printers) which are not directly connected to the Internet.

Each computer or device on your home network has a single IP address, so that you can communicate with others. However, apart from this local network, no one can see them or establish a connection.

Your router assigns a private IP address to everything that happens on your home network via the DHCP protocol. Some numbers of numbers can only be used as a private IP address.

What your IP address can reveal to you and your location

Your IP address reveals a number of personal information about you:

• City
• Country
• State/Region
• Postal code

The websites you visit can recover even more information about you. By combining your IP address with other information recovered thanks to metadata, cookies, trackers and your browser fingerprints, site owners, marketers and advertisers can draw your profile in a fairly precise way.

They can locate you, determine the websites you visit, what interests you, what you download and with whom you are talking to to present you with targeted content and advertisements or sell your data to the most offering.

Internet access providers (ISP) are aware of many other things. There are very little that your ISP does not know about you. As you are a customer, he knows your name, address, phone number, credit card number, bank information, credit history, and maybe even more. ISPs can also use your IP address to block, redirect or censor your online activity.

In countries like Australia and the United Kingdom, ISPs must keep Internet activity data and give them to the authorities without prior authorization from users. If you browse sites that are not secured by HTTPS, your ISP may know each of the unnamed web pages that you will visit.

Even if you visit secure HTTPS websites, your ISP can still follow the areas you consult (but not individual pages).

Use ExpressVPN to secure your connection
