Yes, Windows 11 can indeed detect your IP address. When you connect to the internet, your computer communicates with other devices using IP addresses. Windows 11 uses this information to route data packets between your computer and servers on the internet. It’s an essential part of how the internet works! 🌐
If you’re curious about your current IP address, you can find it by following these steps:
- Click on the Start button (usually located in the bottom-left corner of your screen).
- Type “cmd” and press Enter to open the Command Prompt.
- In the Command Prompt window, type “ipconfig” and press Enter.
- Look for the line that says “IPv4 Address” or “Default Gateway” – this will display your current IP address.
Remember that your IP address can change, especially if you’re using a dynamic IP assigned by your internet service provider. If you’re concerned about privacy or security, consider using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to mask your IP address and protect your online activities.
