What is my IP?

What is my IP? A public IP address is a unique numerical identifier assigned to your device by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This address is used to identify your device on the global internet and allows other devices and services to communicate with it.

Your public address is:

IPv4: [?]	18.117.159.197
Latitude / Longitude	39.96138 / -82.99775

Public IP addresses

Here are a few key points about public IP addresses:

• Uniqueness: Each public IP address is unique to a particular device at a given time, ensuring accurate routing of information.
• IPv4 and IPv6: Public IP addresses come in two formats—IPv4 and IPv6. IPv4 addresses are composed of four sets of numbers separated by periods (e.g., 192.0.2.1), while IPv6 addresses are longer and use a hexadecimal format (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334).
• Visibility: Because public addresses are visible on the global internet and can be used to determine your approximate location and the type of device you’re using.
• Security: Public IP addresses can expose your device to security risks. Which is why using firewalls, VPNs, and other security measures can help protect your online activities.

How can I protect my privacy using a VPN?

Using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) can significantly enhance your online privacy. Here are some key ways a VPN can help protect your privacy:

1. Encrypt Your Internet Connection: A VPN encrypts your internet traffic, making it difficult for anyone (including your ISP, hackers, or government agencies) to see what you’re doing online.
2. Hide Your IP Address: By routing your internet connection through a VPN server, your real address is masked, and websites see the address of the VPN server instead.
3. Access Restricted Content: VPNs allow you to bypass geographic restrictions and access content that may be blocked in your region.
4. Secure Public Wi-Fi: When using public Wi-Fi networks, a VPN encrypts your data, protecting it from potential eavesdroppers.
5. Prevent Tracking: VPNs can help prevent websites and advertisers from tracking your online activities by masking your address and location.

To get the most out of a VPN, choose a reputable provider that has a strict no-logs policy, meaning they don’t keep records of your online activities. Additionally, using other privacy tools like tracker blockers and enabling multi-factor authentication can further enhance your online security2.
