Understanding IP Addresses
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network. It serves two main functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing.
1 Public IP Address
This is the IP address assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to your router. It is the address that the rest of the internet sees when you visit websites or use online services.
2 Local (Private) IP Address
This is the internal address assigned to your specific device (laptop, phone, smart TV) by your home or office router. It is only used within your local network.
Why check your IP?
- Troubleshooting: Identify connectivity issues between your device and the internet.
- Remote Access: Set up remote desktop or server access using your public IP.
- Privacy Verification: Confirm that your VPN or proxy is correctly hiding your real IP.
- Gaming: Host game servers or troubleshoot lag issues with specific IP ranges.
