Private IP vs Public IP
Understand the difference between private local-network addresses and the public address visible on the internet.
Private IP ranges are used inside local networks and are not globally routed across the public internet. Routers commonly translate connections from many private devices through one or more public addresses.
That is why the address shown in your Wi‑Fi or Ethernet settings can differ from the address shown on PublicIP.ca.
