Common Questions
What is a public IP address?
It’s the address the rest of the internet sees when your network connects to it, a bit like the street address of your building. Every device in your home or office usually shares the same public IP through your router.
Why is this different from the IP on my computer?
Your computer also has a private address (often starting with 192.168, 10. or 172.) that only works inside your own network. Your router translates between the private addresses inside and the single public address outside. Tech support usually needs the public one shown here.
What’s the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 is the original format (four numbers like 203.0.113.10). The world ran out of them, so IPv6 (long addresses with colons) was created. Many connections have both; if yours shows only IPv4, that’s completely normal.
Is it safe to share my IP address?
Sharing it with your IT provider is fine and often needed for things like firewall rules or remote access. It reveals your rough location and internet provider, not your name or files, but there’s no reason to post it publicly.
