How would anyone else see it to start with?


Your internet provider assigns you your IP address. So they have to know it. Without one, you cannot access the internet.


For your router, nearly all of them use an internal address of 192.168.0.1 (Xfinity uses 10.0.0.1). But, despite the fact 95% or more of home devices in particular use a local address of 192.168.0.xxx, no one can see those devices anyway because they're behind the router's firewall.


But, what are you trying to accomplish?
