public & private IP's. The IP you see on this page is your
public IP address. Everyone who accesses the internet must
use a public IP. Public IP addresses are assigned to you
and are unique throughout the entire world.

to all share the same public IP address. Your private IP
address is only accessible from inside your local network.
