How to find my public IP address
Your public IP address is the unique identifier your internet provider assigns to your device for external communication. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you find it.
Method 1: Using a IP Lookup Website
1. Launch your preferred browser, such as Chrome, Safari, or Firefox.
2. Visit an IP lookup website such as WhatIsMyIP.com or ipaddress.my.
3. The website will display your public IP address prominently on the page.
Method 2: Check Through Your Router
1. Open a browser and type your router's IP address (usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1) into the address bar.
2. Enter your login credentials. (Check your router manual for the default username and password.)
3. Look for sections like WAN Status, Internet Settings, or Network Info. Your public IP will be displayed in these sections.
Method 3: Using the Command Line
For Windows
1. Open the command prompt (press Windows Key + R, type cmd, and press Enter).
2. Type the following command and press Enter:
nslookup myip.opendns.com resolver1.opendns.com
3. The result will show your public IP address under Address.
For macOS/Linux
1. Open Terminal.
2. Type the following command and press Enter:
curl ifconfig.me
3. The Terminal will display your public IP address.
