Why I could see my eternal IP address on a server and not on my home laptop?

Hi all, I was always curious about this why when I issue ip a command on my server I got it external IP sadress

2: venet0: <BROADCAST,POINTOPOINT,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default 
   link/void 
   inet 127.0.0.1/32 scope host venet0
   valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet 22.22.22.22/25 brd 22.22.22.127 scope global venet0:0
   valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

My Laptop

2: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
  link/ether 20:4e:f6:51:b3:b1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
  inet 192.168.1.50/24 scope global wlan0
   valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
  inet6 fe80::224e:f6ff:fe51:b3b1/64 scope link proto kernel_ll 
   valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

NAT. If you ran the same command on your modem or ONT you'd probably see an external IP there.

Kinda know that (and I guess I can get my 4G tower internal IP address too )

@jackb said: NAT.

So the server HUB/Router allowing the external IP to be shown in my VPS/server?
in that case, I could configure my router to get access to it external address.
