What is an IP address?

An IP address is a numeric label to identify your computer. Much like your home address. However if you have a proxy or firewall the address you're seeing is that of the device and not of your computer since the request for the web page was sent by that device not by your computer.

How do you know where I live?

We don't. However every ISP is given a range of IP addresses assigned to a certain region, knowing this we can estimate your location by querying a database.
