An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical identifier assigned to every device connected to the internet. It acts like a digital return address, allowing servers to know where to send the website data you request.
IPv6 is the most recent version of the Internet Protocol. It was developed to replace IPv4 because the world ran out of 32-bit addresses. IPv6 uses a 128-bit address format (like 2401:4900...), allowing for 340 undecillion unique addresses.
No. Whenever you visit a website, your IP is sent to the server so it knows where to return the requested data. To hide your IP, you would need to use a VPN or a Proxy service.
Most home internet connections use a "Dynamic IP." Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) rotates these addresses among customers to conserve their limited pool of IPv4 addresses. Restarting your router will often result in a new IP address being assigned to you.
