MY IP ADDRESS TOOL: UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF IP ADDRESSES

IP Address, everyone has heard of this term, very few understand what it truly is. When was the last time you looked at your IP Address? It's an important aspect of our online activities, but we barely pay any attention towards it.

How is it important? It's your online identity. Whenever you go to a website, you request them to give access to your IP Address. Without any IP Address, the websites will not know how to send you the information that you seek. The reason why the same webpage that you clicked on opens on a website is because of your unique IP Address. And this is why it's important to know your IP Address.

WHAT IS IP ADDRESS?

IP is the abbreviation for Internet Protocol. Protocol refers to the regulations and guidelines that govern computer networks in a country/region. Your IP Address is a unique number that identifies you whenever you're doing anything online. You must've wondered why a specific website does not open in your country. And how does the website server know that you're trying to browse it from a specific country. That's primarily because of your IP Address. Every computer, router, modem, printer, smartphone, etc has a unique IP Address.

You do not sign up to get an IP Address, it gets automatically assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You can't access the internet without an active IP Address. What's important to understand here that IP Address is not assigned to you, but to the device that you're using to browse the internet.

WHAT PURPOSE DOES THE IP ADDRESS SERVE?

• Identification: Type and ownership of the device being used
• Location of the device being used
• Computers within a network or from different networks can send info to one another using IP Addresses. There is no scope for error when you're using the IP Address as it's unique to every device.

TYPES OF IP ADDRESSES:

• Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) : It the first IP Address that got designed. It consists of a 32-bit number and is segregated into different classes ranging from A to E.
• Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) : Internet Protocol Version 6 consists of a 128-bit number and is more in sync with the rising internet speeds over the years.
• Private IP Address : This is the permanent IP Address associated with a device. It doesn't change unless the network administrator wants it to. They're the permanent identity of your corporate or local area network.
• Public IP Address : A public IP address is assigned to your device every time you login to the World Wide Web. There is a pool of IP Addresses on the web, which is shared by various computers. Your dynamic IP Address gets borrowed from there. This is the IP address that is visible to website administrators when you enter their URL. The dynamic IP Addresses change every time you log out of your browser or turn off your modem. It's not static like the private IP Address.
