If you’ve ever been told “that’s your private IP, not your public one” — or gotten mysteriously blocked from a site or app — your IP address is likely the culprit.
In this episode, Charly breaks down what IP addresses are, the different types, and why they still matter (even if you never mess with them yourself).
📌 In this episode:
✅ What IP addresses do and how they route your data
✅ IPv4 vs IPv6 — and why we’re running out of the old ones
✅ The real difference between public and private IPs
✅ Dynamic vs static IPs — and why it matters for whitelisting
🛡️ How IPs affect blocking, access, and network security
