What is an IP Address?
Just like how you live in a house with an address to identify the location, your IP address is your internet home address.
Your IP address shows your location, the device from which you're connected, and your online activities like the sites you visit. IP addresses are important because they ensure that you send and receive internet data accurately.
In the same way that you wouldn't publicise your home address, it's critical to protect your IP address. When you use hide.me VPN, your internet connection is secured and your IP address is hidden.
What is the difference between my original IP address and an IP address provided by a VPN?
Your public IP address is supplied by your ISP and ISPs can track your internet usage right back to the IP address they gave you. This makes it easy for authorities to demand ISPs hand over data regarding a user’s internet usage.
By using a VPN, your ISP IP address is replaced by the VPN server’s IP address. This means that your internet usage cannot be traced back to you. This is because when connected to a VPN, your VPN IP address is shared with multiple different users and routed through multiple servers. In addition to that, your data is fully encrypted, making you protected online.
Authorities can demand information from us, but we store no logs unlike ISPs, so we have nothing to give.
The benefits of using a VPN while browsing the web
