What is an IP address?

An Internet Protocol address is a series of numbers that identify a computer on a network. It is represented by four groups of up to three numbers, with each group separated by a period. For example, the default private IP address for many routers is 192.168.0.1.

What does a public IP address tell you?

If a computer is connected to the internet, it has a public IP address. This address is just like a home address: it gives information about where that computer is located. Additionally, it also gives information about who controls that IP address, which in most cases will be an internet service provider (ISP) such as Comcast, Verizon, Frontier, etc.

Private IP Addresses

Public IP addresses identify your modem on the internet. However, your router has its own set of private IP addresses it distributes to the devices connected to the internet in your home. These addresses are not unique and entering them here won't give you any information.

Generally, IP addresses that look like 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x, and 192.168.x.x are private addresses. These identify your various devices to your router, not the internet at large. If you can't get our tool to work, make sure you are entering a public IP address, not a private one.
