Common Questions (Q&A):

1. Q: What's the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
   A: IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses with limited capacity, while IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses with a vastly larger address space and alphanumeric notation.
2. Q: Public vs Private IP: what's the difference?
   A: A public IP is used for communication on the internet and is typically assigned by your ISP. A private IP is assigned by your router and used only within your local network.
3. Q: Can my IP address change?
   A: Yes. Most home/office networks use dynamic public IPs that may change periodically. Restarting your router or contacting your ISP can also result in a new IP.
4. Q: How accurate is IP-based geolocation?
   A: It typically identifies your country/region/city but won't pinpoint a street address. Accuracy varies by data source and ISP allocation strategy.
5. Q: How can I better protect my online privacy?
   A: Use a VPN or similar tools to mask your real IP and encrypt your traffic, reducing tracking risks. Always comply with local laws and service terms.
