An IP address stands for Internet Protocol address is a unique address (unique identifier) that identifies a device on the Internet or a local network. All devices that are connected to an internet connection have a unique IP address.

An IP address looks like 180.100.90.111.

There are two IP versions: IPv4 and IPv6.

IPv4 is the older version and IPv6 is the new version. There are 4 types of IP addresses like private IP addresses, public IP addresses, static IP addresses, and dynamic IP addresses.

To get the client public IP address, JavaScript needs third party server-side language. JavaScript cannot do it alone so jQuery is added must do this. JavaScript works with third-party applications to fetch the IP addresses.
