IP Address Privacy Basics

Your public IP address is not usually a secret on the internet, but it can reveal useful metadata.

What an IP may reveal

• Approximate location
• ISP or hosting provider
• Whether you are using certain types of networks

What it does not directly reveal

• Your exact street address
• Your name
• Private devices on your home LAN
