Location comes from your IP address and is approximate. It usually points to your provider's nearest hub, not your home. What your IP address reveals
These details are read by your browser and shown only to you. Websites can see the same things.
The number at the top is your public IP address: the address your internet connection uses, and the one every website you visit can see. It belongs to your internet provider, which lends it to you while you are connected.
Below it are the two versions of that address. Many connections today have both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address, and this page tests each one separately. If one says "Not detected", your network does not use that version. That is common and rarely a problem.
The provider, network number, and location are looked up from the address itself. The location is an estimate. It usually lands on your provider's nearest facility, so being off by a town or more is normal.
