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