An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. An IP address serves two main functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing. IP addresses are written in a standard format known as dotted decimal notation, which consists of four numbers separated by periods, such as “192.168.1.1”.
Knowing how to check someone else’s IP address can be useful in various situations, such as troubleshooting network issues, identifying the source of malicious activity, or simply gathering information about a particular device on a network. There are several methods to check someone else’s IP address, including using command-line tools like “ping” or “traceroute,” checking router logs, or using online IP lookup tools.
