An IP address, or Internet Protocol address, is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to the Internet. IP addresses are usually composed of four numbers separated by periods, for example 192.168.

1.101.

Each device connected to the Internet has a unique IP address. IP addresses are assigned by your ISP, and are always in the form of a decimal number.

You can use a calculator to convert IP addresses to decimal values.

A private IP address is a unique address that is not assigned by your ISP. You can find public IP addresses on the Internet by doing a Google search.

A public IP address is like a street address. It’s easy to find, and everyone can see it.

You can use a private IP address to access the Internet, but it’s not easy. You need a VPN (virtual private network) to connect to the VPN server.

A VPN encrypts your traffic and hides your IP address.

After you connect to the VPN server, you need to set up a port forwarding rule on your router. You need to forward the port you’re using (usually 443 for HTTPS) to the port on the VPN server that you’re using.

Finally, you need to set up a DNS server on your computer. You can use a public DNS server, or you can set up your own DNS server.

After you set up the DNS server, you need to add the IP address of the VPN server to the DNS server’s list of DNS servers.

After you make all these changes, you can use your private IP address to access the Internet.
