Every time you go online, your Internet Service Provider (ISP) assigns your device a unique identifier called an IP address—short for Internet Protocol address. This IP acts like a digital home address, allowing websites, apps, and networks to recognize your device and pinpoint your physical location. Every website you visit logs your IP, meaning your online activity is far from private.
Websites themselves also have IP addresses. When you type a domain like sample.com into your browser, it looks up the corresponding IP address—such as 108.87.91.2—so your device knows where to send the request. The website then responds and sends data back to your device using your visible IP. This is why protecting your IP with a secure VPN like 1ClickVPN is essential for maintaining privacy and anonymity online.
The format of your IP address depends on the version of the Internet Protocol you're using — IPv4 or IPv6. So, what’s the difference between the two?
IPv4
Most ISPs worldwide still rely on IPv4 addresses, which are made up of 32 bits and written as four decimal numbers (like 102.85.96.1). This IPv4 format is simple and easy to remember, which is one of its few advantages. However, IPv4 only allows around 4.3 billion unique IP addresses, and with the growing number of internet-connected devices, that's no longer enough. As the global demand for secure connections and online privacy increases, IPv4 is quickly becoming outdated.
IPv6
IPv6 was developed to solve the shortage of IPv4 addresses. It uses eight groups of 16-bit hexadecimal blocks, separated by colons—like 2600:CC40:2200:0000:0000:0000:0000:0002. Unlike IPv4, IPv6 supports a virtually unlimited number of unique IP addresses, making it ideal for the growing number of smart devices. IPv6 improves routing efficiency, simplifies network management, and reduces address-processing overhead. Often, zeroes in IPv6 addresses are shortened with double colons (::) to save space—for example, 2600:CC40:2200::02.
The IPv4 protocol has a critical limitation — it can only generate about 4.3 billion unique IP addresses. As internet usage grows globally, this pool is quickly running out. In contrast, IPv6 offers a nearly unlimited number of IP addresses — approximately 3.4×10³⁸ — allowing every internet-connected device to have its own unique address.
While IPv6 improves connectivity, routing, and overall performance, it's still not fully adopted. Here's why:
