If you're looking for a quick answer to "What is my IP address?", a simple solution is to go to WhatIsMyIP.com and get it there. But the real answer is a little more complicated, because your devices don't have just one IP address. Every device on your network gets a private one from your router, and your whole home shares a single public one from your internet provider. The public address is the one websites see, while the private one only matters inside your own network.
