Frequently Asked Questions

Does incognito mode hide my IP address?

No. Incognito/Private mode only clears local cookies and history; your IP stays visible to websites and your ISP.

Why does my IP keep changing?

ISPs assign dynamic IPs that refresh periodically or whenever your modem reconnects. Mobile networks rotate IPs even faster.

Can two devices share the same IP?

Yes—behind a router using NAT, many devices share one public IP while keeping unique private IPs.

What’s the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

IPv4 uses 32 bits (4.3 billion addresses). IPv6 uses 128 bits (340 undecillion addresses) plus built-in security and autoconfiguration.

Is it safe to share my IP address?

Websites need your IP to send data, but posting it publicly can invite DDoS or port-scanning. Use a firewall or VPN for protection.

How do I change my IP address?

Use a VPN or proxy for a temporary change. Reboot your router to request a new dynamic IP from your ISP.

Why do some addresses start with 192.168?

192.168.0.0/16 is a private IPv4 range reserved for local networks. These addresses are not routable on the public internet.

Does a VPN hide my IP from my ISP?

Your ISP still sees that you’re connected to a VPN’s IP, but it can’t see or log the sites you visit inside the encrypted tunnel.
