IP address 2001:8004:20e0:1230:4552:ccfa:5f66:d615)

Gavalar

can anyone tell me more about my IP address, I’ve never seen it written like it is, it has always been something along the lines of 1.126.87.156 ( just a made up example) recently it has become

2001:8004:20e0:1230:4552:ccfa:5f66:d615)

totally different

iam seeing this when I check my activity at the bottom of my gmail page, when I type In the address bar what’s my ip it brings back an ip much the same as the first example I gave any help greatly appreciated

Thats your IP6 instead of your IP4

Thanks for all your replies guys sorry for my tardy response I’m still a bit confused as to what ipv6 is and ipv4 I only use my iPhone I don’t have a computer and I’ve just never seen the IP address written like that before but all good as long as its nothing to worry about security wise then I guess I’ll just live with it but thanks for taking the time to send your Answers 👍😊

Nothing to worry about. As already answered, it’s your IPv6 address.

The IPv4 address numbers are almost fully occupied, world wide, and that’s where IPv6 comes in, which holds much larger numbers.
