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 )
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.
