    Hello,

    I hope you are well.

    It seems the anonymize IP addresses feature has been enabled. If you wish to disable this feature, you can do so by following these steps:

    Dashboard > Statistics > Settings > Privacy > Anonymize IP Addresses

    Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

    Best regards,

    Hi Reza

    nothing change even with Anonymize IP Addresses disable

    I apologize for my previous incorrect response. Upon closer examination, I noticed that the IPs in question are IPv6 addresses. IPv6 is the latest version of the Internet Protocol (IP), which is used to identify devices on a network. IPv6 addresses are longer and have more possible combinations than the previous version, IPv4, which has been widely used for many years. It’s important to note that not all devices and networks support IPv6 yet, and some still rely on IPv4.

    Even when trying to convert the IP, I’ve got this message

    2a01:cb00:8891:6a00:f900:5f1f:14ba:b910 as IPv4 address:

    Valid IPv6 Address – Not valid 6to4 notation or IPv4-mapped notation

    This IPv6 Address cannot be converted to IPv4

    There is no way(*) to convert an IPv6 address to an IPv4 address as those two systems are used independently. (* except for very special cases which only rarely apply, see below.)

    Why exactly did you want to convert an IPv6 address to an IPv4 address? A rough analogy for better understanding might be landline vs. mobile phones. Some people might have both and you can use both of their assigned numbers (IP addresses) to reach them, some people only got a mobile phone and no landline (or even the other way round). You can’t “convert” a landline number to a mobile number and vice versa, just like with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

    Those “6to4 notation” and “IPv4-mapped notation” are regarding special use cases from the early times of IPv6. 6to4 notation was/is used to tunnel IPv6 over IPv4 links, and IPv4-mapped notation is used for internal representation purposes to represent IPv4-only nodes to IPv6 nodes. Nothing that would be of any help to you.

    For your purposes, the longer IPv6 addresses are just like the older, short IPv4 addresses. They serve the same purpose, they are just longer because of the MUCH larger address range. If you want to read up about the why and what, there is a Wikipedia article for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4_address_exhaustion and another about the “strange” IP addresses you encountered: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6
