What Is My IP

What is an IP Address?

"IP" stands for "Internet Protocol."  And "protocol" in this context refers to the rules and regulations that govern connections in computer networks.

A particular set of numbers associated with all of your online activities is referred to as the "address" part of your IP address.

All of this adds up to an Internet Protocol address, which is a string of unique numeric identifiers carried by each device on a network and separated by periods. This includes all computers, routers, modems, printers, switches, and other TCP/IP-based networking hardware. No network would be possible without this address, which is the fundamental component around which the networking architecture is based.

When you go online, your Internet Service Provider automatically assigns you an active IP address; it's not something you sign up for (ISP). You cannot access the internet without an active IP address.

Also, note that computers, not people, are given IP addresses.

About This Tool:

I think it's fair to say that IP addresses are not a common topic. They are really among the least used and unconventional computer-related terms available. As a result, you probably don't give your IP address much attention. It is, nonetheless, always quite important to your online life.

What makes it significant, you might ask?

For starters, without an IP address, you couldn't check your email, know what your buddies were up to on social media, or view movies online.

What's the reason?

You are actually "making requests" for the websites whose URLs you click on or type in each time you surf the internet.

Websites like Amazon, Twitter, YouTube, and app.techabu.co wouldn't know where to deliver the information you want without your IP address right now. Because that is WHERE these websites send the requested information to your computer, it is termed an "address."

IP addresses are essential, but it's also important that you KNOW your IP address.
