Our tool also shows your local machine IP, making it easy to share accurate details with IT support teams for faster troubleshooting.
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique number assigned to each device connected to a computer network (like the internet). It works like a “digital home address,” allowing devices to find and communicate with each other.
Two categories of IP addresses
1. IPv4 (e.g., 192.168.1.1) – older, uses 32-bit numbers.
2. IPv6 (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334) – newer, uses 128-bit numbers, created because IPv4 addresses were running out.
Static vs Dynamic IP Addresses
1. Static IP
A static IP address does not change.
It’s manually assigned and stays the same every time the device connects.
Commonly used for:
Websites & servers (so users can always reach them at the same address).
Remote access (e.g., CCTV systems, FTP servers).
Pros: Reliable, easy for hosting services.
Cons: Costs extra from ISPs, less private since it doesn’t change.
2. Dynamic IP
A dynamic IP address is automatically assigned by your ISP and can change every time you connect.
Most home networks use dynamic IPs.
Pros: Cheaper, better for privacy, no manual setup.
Cons: Not ideal for hosting servers or services that need a fixed address. Public & private IP Testing
