What are the advantages of private IP address?
These addresses are different from public IP addresses in that they don’t have to be unique—other devices can use the same address provided they aren’t on the same network. This is because devices on the private network can’t communicate with outside devices, which eliminates the risk of an address conflict.
Is the IP address of a device public or private?

Is it better to keep your IP address private?
There’s little reason not to keep your IP address hidden: The hazards of exposing your IP address far outweigh the ease of protecting it. Just as you may not want to publish your phone number or home address online, it may be just as prudent to keep your IP address private as well.
Why do I need a public IP address?
An IP address (or Internet Protocol address) identifies each networked computer and device on a network. When you sign up with Internet service and connect your modem, your ISP assigns you a public IP address. This address is how you communicate with all the other devices out there on the public Internet.
Can a device join a network with a private address?
If you manage a Wi-Fi router that’s configured to notify you when a new device joins the network, you’ll be notified when a device first joins with a private address. In some cases, a network might not allow devices with a private address to join, or the device can join but the network won’t allow any further access.
