Calm down, its just a private IP adress like 192.168.1.200... You need your routers IP or if you connect to the inetrnet directly it just means your ISP put you behind a NAT.

 

NAT:

 

Network address translation (NAT) is a methodology of remapping one IP address space into another by modifying network address information in Internet Protocol (IP) datagram packet headers while they are in transit across a traffic routing device.[1] The technique was originally used for ease of rerouting traffic in IP networks without renumbering every host. It has become a popular and essential tool in conserving global address space allocations in face of IPv4 address exhaustion.

IPv6 is better i assume?

The addresses are much worse to work with but the available address space is astronomically massive, 2^128. With it we won't need NAT at all which will speed up networks just due to the removal of NAT on every home consumer AIO and will completely remove the need for NAT444. NAT will essentially only be used in high security environments or for those who are stuck in the past.
