Hey! So private vs public ip addresses are kinda like your home address vs your mailbox number in an apartment building.
Public IP = your building’s street address (unique, everyone uses it to find you).
Private IP = your apartment number (only matters inside the building).
Why not all public? Cuz there aren’t enough to go around! IPv4 only has like 4 billion combos, and we’ve got way more devices.
Check out [whatismyip.com](https://whatismyip.com) to see your public IP. Your router handles the private ones automatically—no stress!
