What is a public IP address?
Public IP Addresses (also known as Static IP Addresses) are IP addresses that are visible to the public.
Because these ip addresses are public, they allow other people to know about and access your computer, like a Web server.
In some cases, you do not want people to access your computer or you want to restrict certain individuals from accessing your computer or server.
