#ONPASSIVE Blog Video – IP address public vs private

#ONPASSIVE #GoFounders #AshMufareh
A public IP (Internet Protocol) address is an IP address that can be accessed over the Internet. Like a postal address is used to deliver mails to your home, a public IP address is a unique address assigned to a computing device. On the other hand, a Private IP address is used to assign computing devices within your private space without exposing them directly to the Internet. For instance, if you have multiple computing devices at your home, you may want to use private IP addresses for each device within your home. In this scenario, your router will get the public IP address, and each of the computers, tabs, and smartphones connected to the router (via wired/wifi) will get a private IP address. Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is the standard global organization that registers IP address ranges for businesses and Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
