Please, I need to know if the IP IP 192.169.0.135 can be used... as a local/private or public host?

There are different rules to local/private ips?

Thanks a lot!

192.169.0.135 is a valid public address.

There are several tools on the web that allow you to look up addresses to find out to whom they're assigned. For example, a WHOIS search returns:

Private IP ranges:

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 /8
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 /12
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 /16

192.169.0.135 does not fall in those specified ranges so most likely it is a Public IP

    Just because an IP address is not in one of the private address ranges does not mean it is a public address. There are other ranges which cannot be globally routed, and so they are not public addresses. See IANA IPv4 Special-Purpose Address Registry.
