A public IP address is a globally unique address that identifies a device on the internet. It's assigned by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and is used for communication with devices outside of a local network. It's visible to the entire internet.
A private IP address is an address used within a private network, such as a home or office network. These addresses are not globally unique and are not directly accessible from the internet. They are used for communication between devices within the same network.
Common private IP address ranges are:
- 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
- 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
- 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255
