What Is My Public IP Address?
The Internet Protocol (IP) is the method or protocol by which data is sent from one computer to another on the Internet.
Each computer (known as a host) on the Internet has at least one IP address that uniquely identifies it from all other computers on the Internet.
An IPv4 address uses four numbers from 0 to 255 separated by dots. IPv6 uses eight hexadecimal groups and provides a much larger address space.
On a home network, the router normally exposes a public IP assigned by the provider while devices use private addresses. With CGNAT, several customers may share one public IP.
A public address can change over time. VPNs, proxies and corporate networks may expose the exit node address instead of the one assigned directly to your connection.
Your public IP address is the IP address that is logged by various servers/devices when you connect to them through your internet connection.
IP geolocation comes from network databases and provides only an estimate, often referring to a city or an ISP facility. It does not use GPS and cannot identify a street address. To check another address, use the IP location finder.
