How to Find Your Computer’s IP Address
To delegate a domain, create a website, work with remote systems, diagnose issues, and configure settings, you often need to know your IP address — a unique numeric identifier of a specific device on a computer network. IP addresses are used to identify computers and other devices on the Internet so they can exchange information with each other.
The most common type of IP address that users usually need is IPv4. It consists of four numbers from 0 to 255 separated by dots (for example, 192.168.0.1). You can read more about other types of IP addresses in our article.
To quickly find out the IP address of your device on the Internet, use the service ip.nic.ru.
This service also detects other connection parameters:
- Server time — the exact time of your connection to the server
- Screen resolution — the size of your device’s display in pixels
- Browser — the software you use to browse websites
You can use this data yourself or provide it to technical support staff when requested.
