Public vs. Private IP: What's the difference?

Public IP, also known as an external IP, is the address provided by your internet service provider. Devices on the same network share this IP address when accessing the internet. For specific details, such as location, you can perform an IP lookup check. On the other hand, private, or local, IPs are assigned to each device on your network by your router. Take a look at the table below to understand the differences between public and private IP addresses better:

Public

Private

Used externally for communication over the internet Used internally for communication within your home or office devices
Assigned by an ISP Assigned by a local router or a DHCP server
Unique Not unique and may be reused in other networks
Example: 4.4.4.4 Example: 192.168.1.100
Used to identify individual devices on the open internet Used to segment a larger network into smaller subnetworks

Frequently Asked Questions

An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a numeric label assigned by your internet service provider. As it’s used to identify your device among billions of others, an IP address is a little like an online home address.

First, you type in a website name (example.com) into the browser. However, your computer does not understand words — only numbers. So it first finds out the IP address of that website (example.com = 103.86.98.1), finds it on the web, and finally loads it on your screen.

Your IP address reveals a lot about you, ie. the approximate place you surf from, including your country, region, postcode, and city. Moreover, cunning websites can compare this information with other details retrieved from cookies and metadata, thus creating an even more revealing picture of your identity.

It is unlikely that anyone will actually take over your IP address and use it as their own. But some people do have access to your external IP address and can collect data related to it.

For example, your ISP can always see what websites you have visited on the web. Meanwhile, the websites that you visit can track your approximate location and actions to customize their offering. If you search for flights, the website can detect that you are, for example, surfing from a wealthy European country and, therefore, automatically raise the prices.

It is possible to protect your IP address by hiding it. This is done by using a VPN service, which routes your connection through another IP address, thus hiding your real one. Besides that, VPNs have many other benefits too. You get more online privacy and security as your internet traffic is encrypted and cannot be read by third-parties or misused by hackers.

Yes, you can change your IP address. The easiest and safest way is by using a VPN, which gives your device a new virtual IP address and hides your real one.

A MAC address is a unique, built-in code that identifies your device’s network hardware (like its Wi-Fi card) on a local network. An IP address, on the other hand, identifies your device’s connection to the internet or a network, and it can change depending on where or how you connect.

Yes, your IP address can change when your location changes. Each time you connect through a different Wi-Fi network or mobile data, your device gets a new IP address from that network, which can show your general location.

Static IP addresses, also called fixed or dedicated IPs, never change. Once assigned, the device always uses that same address. They’re often used for things like web servers, email servers, or any device that must always be reachable at the same location.

Dynamic IP addresses are temporary and change each time a device connects to a network. They’re assigned automatically by the network’s DHCP server, which helps share addresses efficiently among many users. Because they change often, dynamic IPs can also make it harder for hackers to target a device.
