Easiest Way To Find My Public IP Address

by Posted in General
 

Ever just wonder about or need your public IP address, but your were not sure how and where to find it?

Enter Google Search

To find your public IP address follow these simple steps:

  1. Visit Google Search at www.google.com
  2. Search for the phrase “my ip”

That’s It!

Your public IP address will be display in bold type above the search results (beginning with the phrase “Your public IP address is“). This is just one of the many hidden uses of the Google Search box.

I must concede that there are a number of ways, outside of Google Search, to find your public IP address. I just thought the familiarity with Google might make this the easier for someone.
