What is the difference between real IP and local IP?

What is a local IP?

A Local IP address is the identifier (IPv4 or IPv6) that is assigned to your laptop, PC, mobile and any other device within your local network. It is not visible to the outer world, but it is required in order to use the internet.

What does real IP mean?

An IP address is a unique address that identifies a device on the internet or a local network. IP stands for "Internet Protocol," which is the set of rules governing the format of data sent via the internet or local network.

Is localhost same as your IP address?

On almost all networking systems, localhost uses the IP address 127.0. 0.1. That is the most commonly used IPv4 “loopback address” and it is reserved for that purpose.

Is 192.168 a local IP?

This IP address is used because the router is on the 192.168. 1.0 network. In the same way, routers on the 192.168. 0.0 network are usually assigned the local, private IP address of 192.168.
