What Exactly is an IP Address, and Why Do You Need to Find It?

IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP address is used by devices and domains on the internet to identify themselves when interacting with one another.

If your device wants to connect to the internet and access a certain website, it needs to have an IP address. The IP address which is publicly used by a device is known as its public IP.

Knowing the public IP address is important as it lets you identify devices in a network. This is the main essential importance of checking/finding the IP address, but there are many different admin-related tasks that this further plays a role in.

FAQs

What is a private IP address, and how can you find it?

A private IP address is one that is used for device identification inside a network. When a device has to communicate with the network server or with other hosts, it uses a private IP. However, when the device has to communicate with devices and domains beyond the network on the internet, it is given a public IP instead.

You can find your device’s private IP address by opening the command prompt (CMD), typing in ipconfig, and pressing enter.

What is a VPN, and what relation does it have with public IP?

VPN stands for virtual private network. By connecting to a VPN, you can change your public IP address.

VPNs are often used by people when they want to access a resource on the internet that is not allowed in their country. The VPN gives the device a different IP address, one which is based in a foreign country. As a result, the website/platform can be accessed.

They are also used for security purposes. Many users aren’t comfortable with having their public IP shared and viewed when visiting websites, which is why they use VPNs. (If you want to use a VPN yourself, you can check out this list of the best VPN services in 2025.)

Can someone track my exact location using my IP address?

No, your exact location cannot be tracked using your IP address. IP addresses reveal only the general location, such as city or state. They do not provide the exact street number, house number, etc.
