What can someone do with your IP address?
Your IP address reveals more than you think. Here's what can happen when it falls into the wrong hands:
Your IP pinpoints your approximate city and country, allowing websites to build a profile of your whereabouts.
Hackers can use your IP to attempt DDoS attacks, exploit vulnerabilities, or probe your home network.
Advertisers track your IP across thousands of websites to build a behavioral profile and target you with ads.
Streaming services, websites and governments use your IP to impose geo-restrictions and censorship.
Interested in hiding your IP address?
A VPN encrypts your connection and replaces your real IP with a server IP — making it much harder for websites, advertisers, and your ISP to track you. Browse our neutral overview of VPN providers to explore your options.
