(In view of

do you mean public?)

But in that case, would https://www.whatismyip.com/ reveal an address
closer to the OP than whoever is providing *their* internet access?
(IOW does https://www.whatismyip.com/ ever yield a private address?)
My idea of using traceroute (the example illustrated the private
address "problem") was not offered to provide a "solution" to
the problem, but only to suggest some means by which the OP
might decide whether to try using a particular service. But
I have no idea why the OP doesn't just try the service to see
whether it is supported, rather than playing guessing games
in advance. And as I posted earlier, I have no idea where the
OP obtained the string home.telecomitalia.it from, and they
haven't yet told us.
Cheers,
David.
