Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my IP look different from my router IP?

Your router often has a private local IP, while websites usually see your public IP.

Why do I only see IPv4 or only IPv6?

Your connection, ISP or browser path may prefer one protocol or may not support both publicly.

Can websites know exactly where I live?

No. IP-based location is approximate and usually not precise to an exact home address.

Why do VPNs change my visible IP?

Because the destination website sees the VPN exit server instead of your direct public IP.

What is a shared IP snapshot?

It is a temporary saved view of selected IP details that you can share through a generated link.
