   It works on Google, Bing, Ask, DuckDuckGo, and several other search engines, but does not work with Yahoo. , Your public IP address will be displayed at the top of the search results, sometimes in its own box.
   
   If you are using Ask, it is located at the top of the More Answers section.
   
   Your public IP address will be four groups of up to three numbers, separated by periods.
   
   For example, it might look like
   199.27.79.192.
   
   This IP address is assigned to you by your internet service provider.
   
   Most external IP addresses are dynamic, which means they change from time to time.
