It functions similarly to a street address, providing a specific location so that internet data packets can be sent and received accurately.\nFor instance, when you enter a website URL like example.com, your device doesn’t understand the name directly—it uses a service called DNS to translate that name into an IP address like 104.75.87.1. Your device then uses this IP address to locate the website’s server on the internet, enabling you to access the website.\nDifference Between\nIPv4\nand IPv6\nIPv4\nIPv4 uses 32-bit numerical addresses, which allows for about 4.3 billion unique addresses. It’s formatted as four decimal numbers separated by dots, each ranging from 0 to 255.\nFor example, 106.39.45.2. Due to the massive growth of the internet and connected devices, IPv4 addresses are nearly exhausted.\nIPv6\nIPv6 was developed to address the shortage of IP addresses. It uses 128-bit addresses, allowing for a virtually limitless number of unique IP addresses.\nAn example of an IPv6 address is 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334. For simplicity, consecutive zero segments in an address can be compressed using a double colon character, shortening this address to 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334.\nAttribute\nUsage\nAssignment\nUniqueness\nPurpose\nVisibility\nCost\nExample\nPublic\nIP Address\nExternally for internet communication\nBy an internet service provider (ISP)\nUnique\nTo allow a device to be uniquely identified on the internet\nVisible across the entire internet\nOften associated with additional costs\n8.8.8.8\nPrivate\nIP Address\nInternally within private networks\nBy a local device, like a router or DHCP server\nNot unique and can be reused across different networks\nTo allow communication between devices on the same network\nOnly visible within the local network\nFree as they are managed internally\n192.168.1.101\nPublic vs.\nPrivate IP Address\nPublic IP Address\nPublic IP addresses, also known as external IP addresses, are assigned by your ISP. These addresses are used across the internet, and all devices connected to the same network appear to have the same public IP address due to Network Address Translation.\nPrivate IP Address\nPrivate IP addresses, also known as local IP addresses, are assigned by your router within your network. These addresses are not visible or routable on the internet, allowing devices within the same local network to communicate securely.\nHow to Find My\nIP Address\nFinding your device’s IP address is as easy as 1, 2, 3.

2026 PureVPN All Rights Reserved","attrs_readable_markdown":"## What is an IP Address?\nAn IP address, or Internet Protocol address, is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a network. It functions similarly to a street address, providing a specific location so that internet data packets can be sent and received accurately.\n\nFor instance, when you enter a website URL like example.com, your device doesn’t understand the name directly—it uses a service called DNS to translate that name into an IP address like 104.75.87.1. Your device then uses this IP address to locate the website’s server on the internet, enabling you to access the website.\n\n![What is an IP Address?](https:\/\/images.purevpn-tools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/en\/2024\/09\/What-is-an-IP-Address.png)\n\n## Difference Between IPv4 and IPv6\n![Dedicated IP](https:\/\/images.purevpn-tools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/en\/2023\/07\/dedicated_ip_icon.png) IPv4\n\nIPv4 uses 32-bit numerical addresses, which allows for about 4.3 billion unique addresses. It’s formatted as four decimal numbers separated by dots, each ranging from 0 to 255.\n\nFor example, 106.39.45.2. Due to the massive growth of the internet and connected devices, IPv4 addresses are nearly exhausted.\n\n![](https:\/\/images.purevpn-tools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/en\/2023\/07\/Frame_vs.png)\n\n![Shared IP](https:\/\/images.purevpn-tools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/en\/2023\/07\/Group-40572.png) IPv6\n\nIPv6 was developed to address the shortage of IP addresses. It uses 128-bit addresses, allowing for a virtually limitless number of unique IP addresses.\n\nAn example of an IPv6 address is 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334. For simplicity, consecutive zero segments in an address can be compressed using a double colon character, shortening this address to 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334.\n\n|   |\n|---|\n| Attribute |\n| Usage |\n| Assignment |\n| Uniqueness |\n| Purpose |\n| Visibility |\n| Cost |\n| Example |\n| Public **IP Address** |\n| Externally for internet communication |\n| By an internet service provider (ISP) |\n| Unique |\n| To allow a device to be uniquely identified on the internet |\n| Visible across the entire internet |\n| Often associated with additional costs |\n| 8\\.8.8.8 |\n| Private **IP Address** |\n| Internally within private networks |\n| By a local device, like a router or DHCP server |\n| Not unique and can be reused across different networks |\n| To allow communication between devices on the same network |\n| Only visible within the local network |\n| Free as they are managed internally |\n| 192\\.168.1.101 |\n\n## Public vs. Private IP Address\n![Dedicated IP](https:\/\/images.purevpn-tools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/en\/2023\/07\/Group-40572.png) Public IP Address\n\nPublic IP addresses, also known as external IP addresses, are assigned by your ISP. These addresses are used across the internet, and all devices connected to the same network appear to have the same public IP address due to Network Address Translation.\n\n![](https:\/\/images.purevpn-tools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/en\/2023\/07\/Frame_vs.png)\n\n![Shared IP](https:\/\/images.purevpn-tools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/en\/2023\/07\/dedicated_ip_icon.png) Private IP Address\n\nPrivate IP addresses, also known as local IP addresses, are assigned by your router within your network. These addresses are not visible or routable on the internet, allowing devices within the same local network to communicate securely.\n\n## How to Find My IP Address\nFinding your device’s IP address is as easy as 1, 2, 3.

Boilerpipe Text	What is an IP Address? An IP address, or Internet Protocol address, is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a network. It functions similarly to a street address, providing a specific location so that internet data packets can be sent and received accurately. For instance, when you enter a website URL like example.com, your device doesn’t understand the name directly—it uses a service called DNS to translate that name into an IP address like 104.75.87.1. Your device then uses this IP address to locate the website’s server on the internet, enabling you to access the website. Difference Between IPv4 and IPv6 IPv4 IPv4 uses 32-bit numerical addresses, which allows for about 4.3 billion unique addresses. It’s formatted as four decimal numbers separated by dots, each ranging from 0 to 255. For example, 106.39.45.2. Due to the massive growth of the internet and connected devices, IPv4 addresses are nearly exhausted. IPv6 IPv6 was developed to address the shortage of IP addresses. It uses 128-bit addresses, allowing for a virtually limitless number of unique IP addresses. An example of an IPv6 address is 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334. For simplicity, consecutive zero segments in an address can be compressed using a double colon character, shortening this address to 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334. Attribute Usage Assignment Uniqueness Purpose Visibility Cost Example Public IP Address Externally for internet communication By an internet service provider (ISP) Unique To allow a device to be uniquely identified on the internet Visible across the entire internet Often associated with additional costs 8.8.8.8 Private IP Address Internally within private networks By a local device, like a router or DHCP server Not unique and can be reused across different networks To allow communication between devices on the same network Only visible within the local network Free as they are managed internally 192.168.1.101 Public vs. Private IP Address Public IP Address Public IP addresses, also known as external IP addresses, are assigned by your ISP. These addresses are used across the internet, and all devices connected to the same network appear to have the same public IP address due to Network Address Translation. Private IP Address Private IP addresses, also known as local IP addresses, are assigned by your router within your network. These addresses are not visible or routable on the internet, allowing devices within the same local network to communicate securely. How to Find My IP Address Finding your device’s IP address is as easy as 1, 2, 3. Here’s how you can look for it: How Do I Find My IP Address on Windows? 1 Press the Windows key and type Command Prompt. 2 Open Command Prompt. 3 Type ipconfig and press Enter. 4 Scroll down to the IPv4 Address under your active network connection. 5 The number next to IPv4 Address is your IP address.

Readable Markdown	## What is an IP Address? An IP address, or Internet Protocol address, is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a network. It functions similarly to a street address, providing a specific location so that internet data packets can be sent and received accurately. For instance, when you enter a website URL like example.com, your device doesn’t understand the name directly—it uses a service called DNS to translate that name into an IP address like 104.75.87.1. Your device then uses this IP address to locate the website’s server on the internet, enabling you to access the website. ![What is an IP Address?](https://images.purevpn-tools.com/wp-content/uploads/en/2024/09/What-is-an-IP-Address.png) ## Difference Between IPv4 and IPv6 ![Dedicated IP](https://images.purevpn-tools.com/wp-content/uploads/en/2023/07/dedicated_ip_icon.png) IPv4 IPv4 uses 32-bit numerical addresses, which allows for about 4.3 billion unique addresses.
