What's My IP Address?
Your IP Address is a unique identifier on the internet. Without it, you would neither be able to send or receive any information. It's like your home address but online.
Your IP Address usually changes when disconnecting from the internet. It could be that you turn off your computer, mobile phone, or simply switch on flight mode. Later, when reconnecting, you usually automatically get assigned a new IP.
There are many ways to find out what your IP address is. The easiest is to type "What's my IP" in the search bar of your favorite web browser. We clearly show you your IP on our front page and try to locate you based on it.
How the IP (Internet Protocol) Works
Without being too technical, it's quite simple to explain the basics. All network traffic is divided into smaller packages and then sent away with both a sender and receiver IP address. The data is then reassembled when received.
Lost Packages: Accidents happen, both in real life and on the internet. Sometimes a network connection cuts off or a router is damaged, resulting in a lost package. When packages don't arrive after a set amount of time, the sender (computer) simply sends out a new copy with help from TCP/IP.
Why You Might Need to Know Your IP
Common reasons include debugging network problems when communicating with servers, filtering suspicious network traffic, or identifying yourself to support when troubleshooting internet issues.
Why You Would Need to Trace an IP
You might want to verify that someone you're communicating with is who they say they are. For example, if your friend is in the USA, their IP should originate from there. An IP from China or Russia would be a warning sign.
