Details
Location comes from your provider's network and is usually accurate to the city or region, not your street. IPv4 and IPv6 are checked through ipify's single-protocol servers.
What your IP address says
Your public IP is the address websites see. Your provider assigns it, and every device in your home usually shares it through your router. It reveals your provider and a rough location, not your name or exact address.
If the address starts with 100.64 to 100.127, your provider uses carrier-grade NAT: you share an IP with other customers, which can block port forwarding. Check with the open port checker.

Questions
What is the difference between a public and a private IP?
Your public IP is the one the internet sees, assigned by your provider. Private IPs such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x are used inside your home network and are given out by your router.
Does my IP address change?
Most home connections have a dynamic IP that can change when the router restarts or after a lease expires. Some providers offer a static IP, often for a fee.
Why does my IP show the wrong city?
IP location databases map addresses to the provider's network, which may be registered in a nearby city. A VPN or mobile connection shows the location of its exit point.
