Tips
- A global IP address uniquely identifies a device on the internet. All devices on the same Wi-Fi network share the same global IP.
- When accessing from home, the IP dynamically assigned by your ISP is displayed. With a static IP contract, the value stays the same.
- If you are using a VPN, the VPN server's IP address will be shown. This is useful for verifying which exit node your traffic uses.
- The address shown is an IPv4 address (e.g.,
203.0.113.1). The format differs in IPv6 environments.

Side Note — IP Address Trivia: 8.8.8.8 and the End of IPv4
8.8.8.8 is the IP address of Google's public DNS service, widely used around the world for its ease of memorability. Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 is also popular as a memorable IP, marketed as privacy-focused by design. Using these DNS servers can sometimes result in faster name resolution than your default ISP DNS.
You might wonder whether knowing your IP is a privacy risk. A global IP reveals only a rough geographic area — typically the location of your ISP's infrastructure, not your home address. However, ISPs can disclose connection logs under legal process. Even in criminal investigations involving Tor or the dark web, arrests often ultimately trace back to ISP records tied to an IP address.
Estimating a physical location from an IP address is called geolocation (GeoIP). It is used for regional content restrictions on streaming services and for detecting unauthorized access. Using a VPN shifts this estimate, allowing you to access content from other regions and protect your privacy.
