What is an IP address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a uniquely-identifying string of numbers
assigned to each Internet-connected device or any device connected to a network.
The address identifies and allows these devices to communicate with each other,
either on an internal or external computer network. Any device that transmits or
receives network traffic gets an IP. 192.168.10.1 is an IP address example; any
device with that IP can communicate with other devices across the same network.
All governing devices, whether DHCP server, router, or Internet service
provider, all use some sort of IP address management (IPAM) to prevent the
assignment of the same Internet Protocol address to multiple devices. When there
exists two devices with the same IP on the same network, an IP conflict prevents
data from correct transmission and reception on these devices. Your Internet
activity then goes through your Internet service provider and routes back to you
via the IP address assigned to you. Your address isn't permanent, though; it can
change based onyour connection and the network you choose to connect to. It
works, theoretically, as a digital version of your home address. It’s like how
you need a home address to receive mail, and the sender must have your correct
home number and zip code; you need an Internet Protocol addressto connect to the
Internet, and any device trying to connect to yours needs the proper IP for
asuccessful connection. An IP can indicate which Internet service provider you
use and your Internet speed. It also reveals information about your general
location. It could indicate your country, state, city, orpostal region. However,
you can’t find someone’s exact location from their IP. The information is
intended for other devices and networks to identify your device, not for others
to track you down.

What is a private IP address?
A private IP address is an IP assigned to devices on private networks. These
types of IPs, also referred to as local IP addresses or internal IP addresses,
are used on local area networks (LANs) like your home network. They usually
begin with 10, 172, or 192, which are in classes A, B, and C, respectively.
These blocks are reserved for private IP addresses only by the Internet Assigned
Numbers Authority (IANA). There are two types of IP addresses: IPv4 and IPv6.
Originally, private IP addresses were created to help delay the exhaustion of
IPv4 addresses, as there is a limited number of IPv4 addresses. But even with
the theoretical 4,294,967,296 addresses created by the 32-bit system, IPv4
address space began to run low with the amount of new Internet-connected devices
that came into businesses and homes. Thus, private IP addresses allow private
networks to use the same IP addresses internally without causing conflicts for
public IP addresses. Though IPv6 addresses ended up being the solution to IPv4
exhaustion, the private IP address system still exists for internal networks.

How to Change My IP Address
These days, Internet privacy is hard to come by. Everything, from your posts to
your searches, is tracked online. This includes your IP address, which is
essential for connecting to the Internet. However, using methods to switch or
hide your public IP address can provide an additional measure of privacy online.
In this article, we’ll go over how to change your IP address on any device.
Before you change your IP (Internet Protocol) address, you can check your
current IP address by visiting the What Is My IP homepage. You’ll be able to see
your current IPv4 address and IPv6 address, if applicable, as well as your
Internet service provider and IP geolocation. This won't show your private IP
address, or local IP address; that address identifies your device only within
its network and can be found in your device's settings.

How to Trace an Email Address
As more people get online, the number of scammers sending malicious content –
including fake emails – increases. Email spam is an annoyance for all and can
leave unsuspecting users vulnerable to malware attacks or even identity theft.
Fortunately, a great way to help investigate and confirm an email is spam is by
tracing the email address via email headers. The following steps will walk you
through how to trace an email address for free to assist in avoiding email
phishing scams as well as other types of abuse. Email address tracing is easy.
Every email contains the information you need to trace it back to the original
sender’s IP address. An email has two parts: the body, which is the information
sent to the recipient within the message, and the header.

What Is a Router? Router Definition and Functions
Internet access is key to almost everything now. Routers are an essential part
of Internet access. Though they don't connect directly to the Internet, routers
are important in getting a widespread Internet connection across multiple
devices. In this article, learn what a router is by definition, how they
operate, the kinds of network routers available, and more. A router, by
definition, is a device that sends and receives data across computer networks.
Specifically, it works across local area networks (LANs), connecting devices
within a local space together to communicate with one another. All routers have
a MAC address and an IP address.

What Is WiFi? Understanding Your Wireless Connection
We all use WiFi on a regular basis. It connects us to the Internet, to our jobs,
and to each other. For the average person, however, the logistics of WiFi may
get confusing. In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about
WiFi, including how it works and the terms you should know. WiFi, short for
Wireless Fidelity and technically called IEEE 802.11 after the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers, is the wireless technology that connects
devices to the Internet. Though they’re sometimes mixed as terms because of
their interconnectivity, WiFi and Internet are separate things. WiFi is what
connects you and your device to your Internet service. It allows you to access
the Internet to browse and do anything else you’d normally do on a computer,
phone, or Internet-connected mobile device. WiFi uses radio waves to transmit
information from your device to a router. The radio waves measure in frequencies
and vary based on the amount of data sent. The two primary frequencies—2.4
gigahertz and 5 gigahertz—are divided into multiple channels in order to prevent
interference.

What Is a Computer Network?
Computer networking, and digital technology in general, can be pretty
intimidating for many people. But when you break computer networking down to its
foundation, it's not so difficult to understand. In this article, learn the
basics of computer networking, its key benefits, and some different types of
computer networks. A computer network is a system that connects multiple
devices, allowing them to communicate with each other. Networked devices can
include personal computers, phones, printers, servers, and even refrigerators;
essentially, it includes any device that shares a network connection. With
computer networks, communication allows for the sharing of resources among
devices. Before networking existed, we could only perform one-to-one
communication between devices. This meant that in the office, every single
computer needed its own printer in order to print documents. Computer network
infrastructure, however, allows all the network computers to connect and print
from one central printer.

What Is an ISP (Internet Service Provider)?
The Internet is used in almost every aspect of life. Therefore, reliable access
to the Internet is essential. Though we may take it for granted, Internet access
ultimately all relies on your Internet service provider, or ISP. But who is my
ISP - and what is my ISP in the first place? In this article, we'll cover what
an ISP is, how they work, the services they provide, and explain how you can
find who your ISP is. An ISP, meaning Internet service provider, is a company
that provides their customers with access to the Internet, allowing them to
browse online, visit websites, and communicate with others. ISPs provide
Internet services for both personal and commercial use. Though most people get a
router from their ISP to access the Internet, ISPs supply more than just
Internet. They offer several other methods of Internet connection as well as
additional services in some cases.

What Is DNS? Understanding the Domain Name System
People know websites through their domain names. But computers know websites as
IP addresses. The domain name system—DNS—turns those domain names into IP
addresses so that the webpage can be loaded. It's the way you access the
Internet. In this article, learn what DNS is, how it works, and how to do a DNS
lookup. DNS, or the domain name system, is a naming database that translates
domain names into IP addresses. Every device connected to the Internet is
assigned an IP address, which is how the devices communicate across networks.
However, it's difficult for humans to remember numerical IP addresses.
Therefore, we use domain names - like www.whatismyip.com - and the domain name
system translates them into machine-readable IP addresses for a successful
connection.

What Is Email? Email Definition and Guide
Since its introduction, email has become one of the most popular methods of
digital communication. It's projected that over 4.37 billion people worldwide
will use email by 2026. You can easily communicate with anyone across the world
at any time, as long as they have an email account. In this article, learn what
email is, how an email client and an email header work, and how to secure your
email messages and account. Email, short for electronic mail, is the method of
exchanging computer-stored messages between people over the Internet. It allows
you to send even non-text files, such as audio files, videos, and images, as
attachments.

What Is a VPN? Virtual Private Networks Simplified
A VPN, meaning virtual private network, is a connection method used to add
security and privacy to both private and public WiFi networks. Though all
Internet users would benefit from using a VPN, they can be hard to understand if
you aren’t familiar with technology and Internet privacy. Using a VPN isn’t like
using Incognito Mode, since your VPN doesn’t hide your traffic; instead, it
encrypts it. Virtual private networks use advanced encryption protocols and
secure tunneling techniques to encapsulate all online data transfers.
