What Is My IP Address?

Your Public IP Address is the unique digital identifier assigned to your network connection by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Every device accessing the web through your router communicates externally using this address.

Online games and websites use your public IP to route data back to your system and select the closest regional servers. If your reported geolocation is significantly different from your actual physical location, your ISP might be routing your traffic through distant network hubs, which could increase your overall in-game latency and ping times.
