External IP is a unique number, and in fact, the "name" of the computer connected to the Internet, which allows you to identify it with other network participants. Example IP address: 100.62.0.3, in fact it is one 32-bit number, but for convenience it is represented in the form of four decimal numbers written through the point.
External and internal IP address: Are there any difference between them?
There is a lot of information that the external IP allegedly can be seen using the command line or in the network connection properties. But if the computer connects to the Internet is not directly directly, but through any small local network, this way you will see only an internal IP address that is used within this local network belonging to the example, an enterprise or your provider. And your external IP address that is visible to other users on the Internet can be assigned to the provider itself or belong to the router, and not a computer with which you are working. Thus, the only reliable way to find out the external address is to take advantage of special sites that provide such information. In the example of the IP screenshot, displayed in network connections, is used in the provider's network and does not coincide with external IP.
Determine your external IP address using the Yandex service

In addition to its real IP address, here you can see a lot of other information regarding your computer, for example, the discharge of the operating system and the browser type. In addition, you can measure the real speed of the Internet and compare it with the one that is declared by the provider.
