Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is an IP address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is like the digital address of your home on the internet. Whenever you go online, your Internet Service Provider (ISP) assigns you this unique number. Websites use your IP address to know where to send the information you’re looking for. The problem is that, just like a physical address, your IP reveals real data about you, including your city, region, zip code, and the company providing your internet.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
The main difference is capacity and format. IPv4 is the original system (e.g., 192.168.1.1) and is limited to about 4.3 billion unique addresses—a number the world has already exhausted due to the explosion of smartphones and connected devices. To solve this, IPv6 was created. It is much longer and more complex (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334), ensuring we will never run out of addresses again. Our tool displays both simultaneously to guarantee a complete and accurate network diagnosis of your connection.
What can my Internet Service Provider (ISP) see?
Without active protection, your internet provider (ISP) has full access to everything you do online. They can see and log all the websites you visit, the specific pages you browse, the time you spend online, and the files you download (including torrents). In many countries, operators are legally required to keep this history for months or years and can sell it to advertising agencies or hand it over to government authorities. This is why your privacy is virtually nonexistent on a standard connection.
How do I hide my IP and protect my location?
The safest and most effective way to hide your IP is through a VPN (Virtual Private Network). When you activate a high-quality VPN, your internet traffic is instantly encrypted through a secure tunnel, and your real IP is replaced by the VPN server’s IP. This guarantees Total Privacy, Security on public Wi-Fi networks, and Free Access by bypassing geo-blocking.
