Common mistakes in sample input

Confusing public IP with a local/private IP like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x

Fix: Remember that this tool shows your public internet-facing IP, not the private address assigned inside your local network.

Assuming the visible IP belongs to one device only

Fix: Many devices on the same network may share the same public IP through NAT.

Expecting the IP to stay fixed permanently

Fix: Many internet providers assign dynamic public IPs that can change after reconnecting or over time.

Thinking a VPN is active even though the IP did not change

Fix: Run the check before and after enabling the VPN to confirm whether the public IP actually changed.

Using the current IP in rules without checking whether it may change later

Fix: If the IP is dynamic, be prepared to update allowlists, firewall rules, or remote access settings when it changes.
