Privacy & Anonymity

What Is IP Address?

The unique numerical "ID number" of a device on the internet.

Every device connected to the internet is assigned an IP address, used for routing data to and from it. Your IP can reveal your approximate location and the internet provider you use - which is why hiding it via a VPN is fundamental to privacy.
