lol i had the same confusion last year.
Think of private vs public ip addresses like a phone system:
- Public IP = your company’s main phone line (callers dial this first).
- Private IP = extensions (internal calls only).
Your router’s the receptionist routing calls. NAT (Network Address Translation) does the heavy lifting—google it if you’re curious!
Btw, if everything used public IPs, the internet would’ve collapsed by 2005. No cap.
