cloudflare IP address doesn't match apple IP address Hi! I just tried to access a website (https://fotografia.ge/5-cant-miss-art-spaces-in-tbilisi/)and Cloudflare gave me the denial message ("Sorry, you have been blocked. You are unable to access fotografia.ge"). I clicked on the "Your IP" button at the bottom of the cloudflare you-are-blocked screen to see my IP address and it showed me this IP address: 82.209.xxx.xx (removed some digits myself). However, my mac says I have this IP address... 192.168.xx.xxx (same - I removed some digits). The point is that they are not the same IP address. Is there an explanation of why Cloudflare and Apple would have different IP addresses for me? Thanks!

You have to be a lot clearer about what the problem is.

Your title mentions "wrong IP address". The IP address should be obtained by your mac from the router.

Why do you think it is "wrong"? Are you unable to connect?

Be specific. Tell us what exactly is happening, what is your mac model (including year) and OS version (you can get that information from the Apple menu->About this Mac...)
