What Is My IP

What Is My IP

You are at right place if you are Looking for your IP address assigned to you by your internet service provider.

When you ask "what is my IP address?" or "what is my ipv4 address?" you are normally asking "what is my public IP?" It is the IP address assigned to you by your internet service provider. When devices on the same network connection to the internet, they share the same IP address.

 

What is IP Address?

To identify your device among billions of others, your internet service provider issues a number label called an Internet Protocol (IP) address. An IP address serves as an online home address in certain ways because devices utilize IP addresses to discover and interact with one another.

Here's how an IP address routes data to its destination. To begin, enter a website address into the browser. However, your computer only understands numbers and not speech. So it first determines the IP address of that website (304.56.68.2), then searches for it on the internet, and lastly loads it on your screen.

 

Public vs Private IP addresses:

Devices on the same network share this IP address when accessing the internet. As an example, consider your home network. It consists of your computer, phone, tablet, and any other devices connected to your router. When these devices connect to the internet, they make use of the router's public IP address.

Routers issue private IP addresses to each device on their network so that they can identify and locate one another. When these devices connect to the internet, their private IP addresses are masked, leaving only routers' public IP addresses accessible. And your public IP address might reveal a great deal about you. A simple IP lookup may identify your location and ISP, as well as assist in determining your identity.

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
