Determining Your Public IP Address

What Is My Public IP Address?

Your public IP address is an external facing IP Address that's provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). A Pubic IP Address is accessible by anyone on the Internet. Internal IP's are known as Private IP's, which are dedicated to the devices connected to your internal network router, such as laptops, desktops, printers, cell phones, smart TV, etc.

Knowing what your external facing IP address is critical for opening ports used for gaming, running an email or web server, or setting up a remote connection.
