Any computer, when connected to any network, receives its own personal identifier. And if a computer is connected to several networks at once, for example, to a local and Internet network, then several at once - one from each network. This identifier is called the Internet Protocol Address (IP). Let's find out how to find out your IP used on the Internet.

Instructions
Step 1
First, let's clarify what exactly we need to look for.
An IP address is four numbers from 0 to 255, separated by dots (for example, 4.92.240.60). If you have several computers connected to the Internet through one connection, then, apparently, your computer is part of a local network. One of the computers on this network will serve as an Internet connection server for everyone else. In this configuration, each computer on the network will have its own intranet IP, and on the Internet it will use one common IP for the entire local network. The local address usually looks like 192.168. XXX. XXX, or 172. XXX. XXX. XXX, or 172. XXX. XXX. XXX. You can see it, plus you can get a fairly complete report on the details of the local connection through the ipconfig utility. To run it, you first need to open a terminal window - press WIN + R, and then type cmd and press Enter. In the console that opens, type ipconfig / all.
But we are more interested in the external IP address. Most internet users have dynamic IP addresses. That is, the provider from the range of addresses allocated to him chooses a free one at the moment and assigns it to the one who is now sending a request to enter the network. This means that the next time you go online, your address will most likely be different. Although you can rent a static IP address from your ISP, this service is not expensive.
Step 2
Now how to see your current IP address.
The easiest way to do this is on any of the sites that provide the IP determination service. Technically, it is very easy to determine the IP of a visitor, so this service costs nothing at all. Moreover, most of the sites, trying to surprise us, offer in addition to find out details about themselves that are already known to us. Server scripts squeeze information about the browser itself and its settings, the type of operating system, screen resolution from the requests that the browser sends to the browser, and determine the geographic location by IP. Some of these sites are:
