Reading the number
When you type what is my IPv4 address into a search box, you get a number with a fixed shape. An IPv4 address is written as four groups of digits, each between 0 and 255, with a dot between groups, such as 203.0.113.7, which is a block reserved for examples. The one you see on a lookup site is your public address, the one every website receives. Your broadband or mobile provider owns it and lends it to the connection. Searching what is my IP address IPv4 gives that address, in the older format that has been in use for decades.
The address on your phone is not that one
Open the Wi-Fi details on a phone or laptop and you will see an address starting 192.168, 10 or 172.16 through 172.31. Those are private addresses. Your router hands them out inside the house, and they mean nothing outside it. The public IPv4 address belongs to the router, so every device in the home shares it. That also explains why the two numbers do not match.
Where the dots come from
Each of the four numbers is one byte, which is why none is higher than 255. The first parts usually say which provider holds the block, and the last parts pick out one line within it. That structure is how the internet routes traffic, and it is also what lookup sites use to guess a place, as the next list shows.
Where the lookup puts you on the map
- A lookup database records where a provider registered a block of addresses, not where you sit.
- The answer is often a regional hub, which can be a different town from yours.
- On mobile networks the location may be further off still.
- Your own street and house number are never in it.
- A hosting company shows up for a tunnel exit, with the city of its server.
Seeing which version you use
What changes it
A router restart may give you a new public address, because most home connections are assigned dynamically. Moving from Wi-Fi to mobile data certainly does. A tunnel replaces the address with the server's. Ask @royalkey_club_bot for the free trial key, connect, and look again: the number, the provider's name and the city should all be different. Disconnect, and your own return.
Why people check
Mostly curiosity, sometimes to confirm that a tunnel is working, and sometimes to quote the address to a support desk or a game server. An IPv4 address on its own does not name you. Only your provider can connect it to a customer, and only for the time that it was lent.
Another common reason is a service that has stopped recognising you. After a router restart your address may be new, and a bank or a streaming account that remembered the old one may ask you to confirm a login. Confirming once is normally enough. A search for whats my IP address IPv4 before and after shows whether the address really did change.

The ledger
We keep no ledger of you, only of the key
Royal Key holds three things: a Telegram chat, the key sent to it and the date that key expires. No account sits behind them, so there is nothing for a log to attach to, and we never ask for a name, an email address or a phone number. It is a modest claim, and we prefer it to pretending that no jurisdiction could ever reach us.
- No account, email address or phone number
- No record of the sites you visit
- No connection times or IP addresses kept
- No card details: you pay inside Telegram
- No renewal and no charge you did not choose
At the counter
Asked at the counter
Is my IPv4 address private?
It is public by design. Every site you visit sees it, but it does not carry your name.
Can two people have the same IPv4 address?
At home, everyone on the router does. On some mobile networks hundreds of customers can share one at the same time.
Why does the lookup say a city I do not live in?
It is placed by provider records, not by your device.
Does a different IPv4 mean I am protected?
It means websites see another address. It does not clear logins or cookies.
How do I find my IPv4 on a phone?
Search what is my IP in a browser, with Wi-Fi on and again with mobile data on. The two will differ.
Where is my IP located if I use mobile data?
It can be a hub in another city, since mobile providers route traffic from central points.
Is IPv4 running out?
Addresses are scarce, which is why sharing and IPv6 are common. For the reader, it changes little.
Question not on the list?
The bot that cuts keys also answers questions. The setup section names the client to install.
