A public IP address is an IP address that can be accessed over the Internet. Private IP address on the other hand is used to assign computers within your private space without letting them directly expose to the Internet. For example, if you have multiple computers within your home you may want to use private IP addresses to address each computer within your home. In this scenario, your router get the public IP address, and each of the computers, tablets and smartphones connected to your router (via wired or wifi) get a private IP address from your router via DHCP protocol.

There are few ways to find out private ip address assigned to your computer network adapter and public ip address assigned to your router. In this tutorial i will explain easiest way to find out both private and public ip addresses assigned to your computer and router.

Also most if not all of that info can be gained from Settings/Network&internet/Status/View Network Properties, it also has a copy button so you can easily copy and paste into a .txt file. Another brief way is to open Task Manager, Performance tab, right-click the Network graph, copy, then paste into a .txt file.

Do they display public ip address?

If you are using router then the IP address shown is private ip address.

Ah, yes, just used your Powershell commands and address shown there is not reported by the methods I used at all. Must admit i'm not to "up" on network stuff. Still a lot of useful info can be shown easily which was a lot harder to see under older versions of Windows.

I understand we are all here to learn.

Hi there

opendns has a logging feature as do some routers -- (by this I mean of course the IP addresses of web sites visited etc not your ISP's address).

I'm not sure though if opendns logs ipv6 addresses though or any addresses accessed via an access point created by a mobile phone. -- In some areas speeds and data limits are better on a phone with the new 5G networks than traditional plans --depends on region / country of course.

scroll down a bit for info on opendns
