Your public IP address is the address websites see when you connect to them. It is shown above, along with whether it is IPv4 or IPv6 and what your browser shares with every site you visit.
Your router gives each device at home or in the office a private address, usually starting with 192.168, 10 or 172.16–31. Those addresses only work inside your network.
When you browse, your router translates them into a single public IP address assigned by your internet provider. That public address is what websites, mail servers and firewalls see, and it is what you need when someone asks you to allowlist your IP for SSH, a database or an admin panel.
IPv4 addresses look like 203.0.113.25; IPv6 addresses are longer and use colons, like 2001:db8::1. Many connections have both, and your browser picks one per connection.
If you are allowlisting access to a server, add both of your addresses if you have them. Otherwise access may work from one network path and fail from another.
Most home and mobile connections get a dynamic address that can change when your router restarts or your provider rotates addresses. VPNs and corporate proxies also change the address websites see.
If you need a fixed address, for example to run a mail server or lock down SSH, a VPS with a dedicated IPv4 and IPv6 address is the reliable option.
