An IP address, also known as an internet protocol address or Internet address, is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network. An IP address is unique within its respective network, allowing devices to communicate with each other.

A computer can be identified by its IP address, which is usually assigned when the computer is first connected to the network. A person’s IP address is not generally known, and is not typically exposed to the public.

However, an IP address can be easily spoofed, meaning that it can be made to appear to belong to a different device.

It is possible to hide your IP address by using a virtual private network (VPN) or a proxy server. However, these measures are not 100% effective, and it is possible to track your online activity if your IP address is exposed.

Ultimately, it is best to use a VPN or proxy server only when you are specifically concerned about privacy.
