Re: My ip address by Thenteme » Thu Sep 07, 2023 6:41 am An IP address is a unique identifier assigned to your internet connection or device. It reveals information about your general geographic location but not your specific physical address . The IP address seen when you use the Windows command "ipconfig" shows you the private IP address issued to your computer by your router. This technique allows multiple computers on your network to share the same public IP address , which is the one seen when you visit this site. Geolocation is only an estimate. Your IP address is assigned to your Android device by your wireless carrier when using cell data service -- you cannot change it manually yourself. The IP address associated with your phone likely changes multiple times a day. You can find your Private IP Address on an iOS Operating System in the settings, but not the Public IP Address , which is important for using this site and changing your IP Address . n.b.
