What Is My IP FAQs

What is the difference between a Public IP and a Private Gateway IP?

Your Public IP is assigned by your ISP and visible to all websites across the world wide web. Your Private Gateway IP (such as 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1) is used locally inside your home or office to manage router settings.

Why does my public IP address change over time?

Most internet service providers use Dynamic IP addressing or CGNAT to allocate addresses from a pool. When you restart your router or your DHCP lease expires, your ISP assigns a new public IP.

Can anyone find my exact physical home address from my IP?

No. Geolocation databases only map public IPs to your ISP's regional routing hub or city area, never to your specific physical house or street address.
