What is an IP address?
The address your internet connection uses to talk to websites. Every website you open can see it. Your mobile network or internet provider gives it to you, and it often changes when you reconnect.
IPv4 and IPv6
IPv4 looks like 39.40.12.34. IPv6 is newer and longer, like 2400:adc5:12a:5c00::1. Many connections in Pakistan now use IPv6.
Why is it different on Wi-Fi and mobile data?
Each network has its own address. With a VPN on, websites see the VPN’s address instead.
Can someone find my home from my IP?
Usually only the city or the provider. Your exact address is known only to your internet provider.
