Frequently asked questions
These cover the most common questions people have about IP addresses, geolocation, and what this page can and cannot see.
FAQ
How does this page determine my IP address?
When the page loads, it makes a single request to ipapi.co — a free public IP lookup service — which sees the IP your internet connection is using and returns it along with the ISP and approximate location. Everything below the privacy disclosure card is read directly from your own browser and never leaves your device.
FAQ
Why is the location shown as approximate?
IP-based location is an estimate based on what your internet provider and ASN are registered to. It can be off by anywhere from a few miles to a few hundred miles, especially for mobile carriers, satellite users, corporate VPNs, and internet providers that route traffic through distant datacenters. It is not GPS and it is not your real address.
FAQ
Is anything I see here stored or sent anywhere?
No. The page does not log, store, or transmit any of your information to Everyday Tools Hub. The only network request the page makes is to ipapi.co for the IP lookup itself, and ipapi.co's privacy policy is linked in the disclosure card on the page.
FAQ
Why does my ISP show as something I don't recognize?
If you're on a VPN, your ISP will appear as the VPN provider. If you're on a corporate network, it may show as your company's hosting provider. Mobile carriers sometimes route traffic through datacenters owned by separate companies, which is why a phone might show a hosting provider instead of a recognizable carrier name.
FAQ
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses look like 203.0.113.42 and use a 32-bit number space that's been almost fully allocated. IPv6 addresses look like 2001:db8::1, use 128 bits, and are the long-term replacement. Most consumer connections still report IPv4 by default; some networks support both at the same time.
FAQ
Does using a VPN hide my real IP from this page?
Yes. The page only sees the IP that the request appears to come from, which is the VPN's exit node when you're connected to one. It cannot see through the VPN to your real address. The browser/device readout below is also not affected by your VPN.
