To find your IP address, there are a few common methods depending on your device:

  • On Windows (7, 10, 11):
    1. Open the Start menu and type "cmd" to open Command Prompt.
    2. Type the command "ipconfig /all" and press Enter.
    3. Look for the "IPv4 address" under your active network adapter (Ethernet or Wireless LAN Adapter).
  • Alternatively, for a quick way to find your public IP address, you can open a web browser and visit a site like 2ip.io or whatismyip.com. These sites automatically show your public IP address at the top of the page.
  • On Windows, you can also go to Settings > Network & internet, then select Wi-Fi or Ethernet depending on your connection, and check the properties for your IPv4 address.

The IP address shown in Command Prompt or network settings is your private IP address within your local network, while websites show your public IP address assigned by your internet service provider (ISP).
