How do people find out your IP address?

Can people find my real life address by my IP address?

  • I was on this site and it said my IP address it was then followed by the city I was in. I was wondering, can my IP address track my home address?

  • Answer:

    Not without a warrant, subpoena, or court order to your ISP. You can get a rough geographic location for any IP, but that's a far cry from getting an actual address. Derek, Apple can show "current location" because the iPhone has a GPS unit in it, you boob. You CANNOT get a physical address from an IP address just like that without direct access to ISP records, which Apple doesn't have. Period.

yes, it is possible. It's how apple shows your "current location" on the maps application. If you are worried about this, a simple program like "Peer Guardian" can help change your IP address. but it is against the law to track it. so a program would need to ask permission first Peer Guardian - http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/
