Why do I need to know the IP address of FB?
We need to know the aforementioned Facebook address in order to locate the people who send messages and that maybe we don’t know them or we don’t know where they really are.
Being FB one of the largest social networks that exist today, thousands of users through their biographies receive daily stories , photos and other stories from other users.
Surely we know cases of people who have received serious messages or harassment, when we want to see the IP address to know where this person is located or geographical area, we are, as we mentioned with the previous point, that we can not Know this information by social network privacy policies.

In addition to the previous recommendation it is also necessary to keep in mind the privacy settings that we have in our user account in order not to receive this kind of messages.
Steps to know the IP of Facebook and any other Internet domain
There are different ways in which we can know an Internet Protocol address and from there we can determine where the computer or mobile device that connected to the Internet and sent the conversation or story is hosted.
That is why we will talk about the different tools that exist to be able to determine exactly where the messages came from .
There are different orders that we can give our operating system to perform certain actions that can help us obtain the information we are looking for.
Commonly this in computing is called commands, and in order to access the instruction or command line in Windows, we will have to do it through what we call “cmd” .
To be able to do these actions we will have to:
- Search for the Windows icon or «Start» , which is in the lower left margin of the screen
- We will immediately write «cmd»
- We will see an application called “Command Prompt”
- We will click on it and have just accessed the order line
Next, we will detail 2 commands and a third age lie for you to consider when you can find an IP address:
Using the ping command
To use this command, we will do it through the host. Where we will write:
- ping facebook.com
- We click on
A list will appear with the IP address and the latency time measured in milliseconds that this host has found.
If we need to know any other domain, for example, we will use the one on our website internetpasoapaso.com we will write in the same way as for Facebook:
- ping internetpasoapaso.com
And so we can obtain the IP from any domain in a fast and practical way
Using the nslookup command
In the same way as the previous command, we will use this one. We enter the Windows command line and type:
- nslookup facebook.com
- «Enter»
The domain name with its IP and MAC address will appear in the DOS window
With Online tools
As we mentioned, we will now use online tools, which are completely free pages where we can enter the domain of the page we want to search and the IP address will appear.
They are very easy to apply, they all have a search bar in which we will have to type the domain.
Some of these pages are:
