Can someone explain what does an IP look like? or What does an IP look like and how is it formatted?

Not a dumb question at all! IPs are just IDs for devices. IPv4 is the OG format (*10.0.0.1*), but IPv6 (*fe80::1*) is taking over ’cause we’re outta IPv4 space.

If you wanna geek out, [arin.net](https://arin.net) lets you look up who owns an IP. Super handy for troubleshooting!
