• IPv6 Address: E.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334

IPv4 addresses are the most common and consist of four sets of numbers, while IPv6 addresses are longer and used for modern networks.

Best Practices for Using Your IP Address

Keep It Private: While knowing your IP address is generally safe, be cautious about sharing it publicly, as it can reveal your general location and be used for tracking.

Regular Checks: If you’re frequently changing networks (e.g., using different Wi-Fi connections), check your IP address regularly to ensure you’re using the correct one.

Use VPNs: For additional privacy and security, consider using a VPN to mask your real IP address when browsing the web.
