URLs are assigned randomly to differently IP addresses. IP addresses are the numbers that identify a person's location online; it gives the general location and device.
MAC addresses and IP addresses are two different representations of how to send data to a device by network protocol. A MAC address is the unique identity of a device, used in a network to distinguish one device from another. An IP address is a unique address that shows how traffic should be routed to reach the device.
ARP is a protocol that maps MAC addresses to IP addresses for packet delivery and for finding out which device in a LAN has a given IP address.
An IP scrambler is a device that scrambles your IP address making it nearly untraceable.

Admin access. Generally there are DHCP settings to control the distribution of IP addresses. It varies from device to device.

A NAT router (or other device with NAT) is often used to share Internet access, with a single public IP address, among an antire network. The point is, the public IP addresses (for IP version 4) are getting scarce.A NAT router (or other device with NAT) is often used to share Internet access, with a single public IP address, among an antire network.

Public IP addresses
172.16.0.0 is itself a private IP address. (IP addresses from 172.16.0.0 to 172. 31.255.255 are all private IP addresses. Other private IP addresses are 10.X.X.X and 192.168.X.X where X can be from 0 to 255). But it's not usable as an IP address for a device such as a PC or host. This is because it's the first address and, by convention, the first address of a network is used to indicate its network address.
The process that hides multiple IP addresses behind a single IP address is called Network Address Translation (NAT). NAT allows multiple devices on a local network to share a single public IP address when accessing the internet. It works by translating the private IP addresses of the devices into the public IP address, managing the connections and ensuring that the correct data is sent back to the appropriate device. This enhances security and conserves the number of public IP addresses needed.
