Public IP is the IP address that the outside world sees. For example, if you go to Google and type "my ip", it will tell you your public IP.

At what time? Your public IP is managed by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Your public IP will not change unless your ISP changes it.

You can change your Local IP to whatever you want.
