Your IP address is a unique number assigned to your device when it connects to the internet, and it is linked to all of your online activity, including your device information and location. Advertisers, hackers, and authorities can use your IP address to track you online, gather and sell your personal information, or restrict your access to online content. A VPN (virtual private network) can mask your IP address and increase your anonymity online. When you connect to a VPN server, it will appear as if you are in the same location as the server. This means that your real location will be hidden, and you can access content that may be restricted in your actual location.
To find your IP address while using a VPN, you can use any of the following websites:
- https://nordvpn.com/what-is-my-ip/
- https://whatismyipaddress.com
- https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/what-is-my-ip
- https://www.expressvpn.com/what-is-my-ip
These websites will show you your public IP address, which is the IP address that is visible to the internet.
