How to find your IP address quick and easy

-

 An IP address is a unique number that identifies a device connected to the internet. IP which stands for "Internet Protocol," is a set of rules that dictates how information is shared on the internet. An IP address is how and where that information should go. If the IP address is like a physical mailing address, IP is the part that tells you how to get there.

Every device actually has two IP addresses: the public/external address which is used to communicate with the wider internet and the private/internal address, which communicates with your local network otherwise known as your personal internet router.

Knowing your IP addresses is useful for a few different reasons, such as setting up a file server, adding a printer, or communicating with local devices on the same network. Because your IP address shares your location, it is also a way to understand how your personal information is shared. This is also why more and more people opt to use a VPN or "virtual private network" which obscures your actual location.

How to find your public/external IP address

Simply Google "what is my IP address.com" and the result will appear at the top of the page.

How to find your private/internal IP address

On a MacBook

In "System Preferences" go to "Network." In this window, you'll find your IP address right under the network status.

On Windows

Open "Network & Internet," then click "Properties" in WiFi or ethernet, depending on your connection. In "Properties," scroll down to find IPv4 address. That is your local IP address.

On an iPhone/iPad

Go to "Settings," then "WiFi," then select the network you're connected to. Your IP address is displayed in the section called IPv4 address.


On an Android/tablet


Go to your Wifi network settings, then select the network you're connected to. You'll find your IP address along with the other network information.
