WHAT IS AN IP ADDRESS?

IP Address, which stands for Internet Protocol Address is essentially like an address provided to specify the local network, router or device used to access the internet. In actuality, it is a set of rules and protocols that govern the mode and way in which any sets of data are transmitted through the web. Internet is essentially a wide network of interconnected devices all across the planet, and a mode of specifying the source of information and identifying and differentiating all the systems irrespective of their local network is an essential component. This is where IP Address comes into play. For example, the IP Address 192.168.1.245 is an extremely common IP for most popular router default admin pages. Most commonly used routers assign a specific IP Address for any home or office based Local Area Network (LAN). A range of IP Addresses has already been reserved for use in similar domains. They are:

192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255

Another noteworthy point is that in any IP Address, for example lets take 192.168.1.245, the first three sets of digits, that is, 192.168.1 represents the local network domain provided by the ISP. The last digit, namely 1 represents the device connected to that internet. Any subsequent devices connected to the same network will have its last digit automatically changed by Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) while the first three sets of digits will remain the same, signifying that they are present in the same local area network (LAN)

HOW IT FUNCTIONS

You can think of an 192.168.1.245 IP Address as the common language and mode of communication between two or any greater number of systems, enabling exchange of data of any kind, from any location. It generally follows the following basic steps:

• The device you are using to connect to the internet will do so indirectly through a medium already connected to the internet, like the source supplying the ethernet cable.
• Generally, such a body is known as an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
• It is the duty of an ISP to collect all your network activity, track its usage and any data intended for you goes through the ISP and then is it redirected to your device.
• Since an ISP is the one overseeing the entire network activity, it is their duty to assign your device an IP Address and to also ensure a secure and enjoyable surfing experience through monitoring, safety and efficiency.

The default home page domain, like in this case 192.168.1.245 is provided by default from the brands producing the router. It should also be noted that an 192.168.1.245 IP Address is not permanent or finalised in nature and can easily be changed under any of the following circumstances:

• When you turn your router on and off, the restarting procedure can suddenly change your 192.168.1.245 IP Address. This is a normal procedure and there is nothing to be worried about. It is also temporary in nature and have no further consequences.
• You can also specifically request a change of your 192.168.1.245 IP Address to your ISP based on your personal interest or need and they can make it happen.It is an essential and compulsory service provided by Internet Service Providers.
• When you are shifting or moving to a new location, or when you are connecting your device, which was originally a part of a different local network into a new LAN, the 192.168.1.245 IP Address is bound to change to.
• When you are travelling and are carrying a network accessible device like a laptop, smart phone, tablet, etc., your IP Address can change temporarily owing to the change in location and/or introduction to a new local area network, for instance any hotel, cafe or restaurant Wi-Fi.

The easiest way to find out the 192.168.1.245 IP Address at any time, if you are already connected to the router is to directly go to google and search something along the lines of 'What is my IP Address?' and you will find the information you are looking for within the first few search options. There are even some websites that can track and show you your location through your own IP Address. Usually, only the basic general information is provided like the name of the city or the general location and not the exact actual location. In order to get the actual accurate physical location of the 192.168.1.245 IP Address provided precisely, generally requires a search warrant to be submitted to the Internet Service Provider and approved duly to be allowed access. It should be kept in mind that for this method to work, the VPN servers, if present, should be logged off and firewall disabled or it won't function properly. This is possible because when your device is granted access to these sites, they can automatically get hold of your 192.168.1.245 IP Address.

It should be noted that generally the digits before the first three dots in a local network IP Address represent the LAN and the last digit(s) is assigned to differentiate different systems in the same LAN. This is why you will notice that all the devices connected to the same Wi-Fi have the first three sets of digits same with the last digits being different.

If you have been browsing the internet for some time, you are bound to come across something like 192.158.100. This is what we call an IP Address, and the digits before or after the dots can range anywhere from 0 to 255. In other words, an 192.168.1.245 IP Address can range anywhere between 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255.

It should be kept in mind that you cannot just randomly assign any sets of digits and claim it to be the 192.168.1.245 IP Address to your favourite webpage. Each and every IP Address is calculated pertaining to a specific set of complex rules by the Internet Assigned Numbers Community (IANA). IANA is a US-based non-profit organisation aiming to provide a safer, more secure online experience. Even if you want to create your own new domain right now, you would have to go through their set of rules, submitting them with a specified fees to obtain an IP Address, this in turn ensures that each and every domain on the net is safe, secure and registered, preventing any illegal or marginalised activity from going unnoticed.

PROTECTING IP ADDRESS

In order to hide your personal information from prying eyes and to protect yourself from cyber crimes like hacking, piracy, etc. it is essential to know how to protect and hide your 192.168.1.245 IP Address as or when it is required. The primary methods to do this are:

• Using a proxy server: A proxy server is an intermediary through which your traffic is routed. The internet servers you visit are only able to view the 192.168.1.245 IP Address of the proxy server. Similarly, any information sent to you by these servers will come first through the proxy servers and then be redirected to you. One disadvantage to this is that you need to use a trusty server as some tend to reverse spy on you while others tend to insert advertisements into your browsing experience.
• Using a VPN: A Virtual Private Network (VPN) offers a much better alternative. A VPN acts as another device inside your local network. The surfing data is entirely sent over a secure connection via the VPN. This also enables secure access to local networks in a foreign country, since it behaves like a network on its own. This in turn also allows us to change our server location to the VPN's location allowing access to certain location blocked or restricted websites. VPNs should be used when using a public Wi-Fi even though it may be password protected, since any non-ethical hacker present in the same network has easy access to your data. Using VPN at such circumstances adds extra insurance, protecting your privacy. Whether you want access to a website that is inaccessible through present location, working remotely through untrustworthy networks or just want some privacy, VPN is the safest, most secure and most efficient way to go.
