What is an IP Address?

An IP address is a unique identifier assigned to your device on the internet. It plays a crucial role in online communication, allowing websites and services to recognize and interact with your device.

Types of IP Addresses

  • Public IP: The address assigned to your network by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
  • Private IP: The internal address used within your home or office network.
  • Static IP: An IP address that doesn’t change over time.
  • Dynamic IP: An IP address that changes periodically, typically assigned by ISPs.

Why You Might Want to Hide or Change Your IP Address

  • Protect your privacy and prevent tracking.
  • Access geo-restricted content.
  • Bypass censorship and firewalls.
  • Enhance online security by reducing exposure to threats.

How to Change Your IP Address

  1. Use a VPN: Encrypts your internet and gives you a new IP address.
  2. Restart Your Router: Some ISPs assign dynamic IPs that change when rebooted.
  3. Use a Proxy Server: Proxies mask your original IP address.
  4. Use Tor Browser: Tor hides your IP by routing your traffic through private relays and nodes..
