IP address details for 64.111.226.155

An IP address is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. IP addresses serve two main functions: identifying the host or network interface, and providing the location of the host in the network.

IP addresses function like postal addresses but for devices on the internet. When you send or request data online, your IP address tells the network where to send the data. There are two main types: IPv4 (like 192.168.1.1) and IPv6 (like 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334).

With your IP address, someone can determine your approximate location (sometimes down to the city-level) and your Internet Service Provider. However, they cannot access your personal information or exact physical address without additional data.

IPv4 addresses look like four sets of numbers separated by periods (e.g., 192.168.1.1). IPv6 addresses use eight groups of hexadecimal digits separated by colons (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334). IPv6 addresses can be shortened by removing leading zeros and replacing consecutive zero groups with double colons (::).

From your IP address, someone can typically determine your general location (city/region), your Internet Service Provider, and whether you're using a proxy or VPN.
