What’s Your IP Address

Knowing your IP address matters because it’s basically your device’s “home address” on the internet, but it’s enough for advertisers, websites, and sometimes attackers to profile your activity.
Knowing your IP helps you understand what you’re exposing and whether you want to hide it using a VPN. Security-wise, we all have an IP address, and hackers use these to enter your network, but knowing a person’s IP is uncommon. Do you know your own IP anyway? It may be insignificant, but the IP address affects how you appear online. When you know it, you get more control, better security, and you can make better privacy decisions.

Using a VPN is a great decision. Whatever IP you see above would change with a VPN using servers all over the world. So each time you log on to your PC, your IP could be coming from Japan, the USA or anywhere.
