Yes and No. For example, if you receive a mail on your Hotmail account it shows in the X-Originating IP section of the headers, but if you receive a mail on your Gmail account, it will ONLY trace back to Google IP addresses.

Can I Use An IP Address For Security Purposes?

Yes sure why now. When unwanted persons start having unauthorised access to your server, you can block such IP addresses. This might not always work perfectly but it is important to know you can block and monitor IP addresses. The unique thing about IP addresses is they can either be static or dynamic.

  • Static IP address:

This IP address usually never change but they may be changed as a result of network administration. It is a permanent Internet address and provides a simple, reliable and the easiest way for the communication.

The static IP is vital in the sense that, we can get important details such as the exact continent, country, region and city which the computer is located, The Internet Service Provider that is attached to that particular computer and non-technical information such as exact latitude and longitude of the country,  and the location or site of the computer. There are various sites providing you access to find your IP address.

  • Dynamic IP address:

They are the second category and not permanent IP addresses. These IP addresses are designated to a computer once you get connected the internet. They are actually borrowed from a large pool of IP addresses, shared over different computers. Due to the unavailability of static IP addresses, ISPs usually reserve the section of their appropriated address for easy distribution among their benefactors in this way.

Locating your IP address is not as technical and confusing as it usually seems, and with the aid of this guide, you will definitely be able to locate it on any device and with great ease.
