Whats My IP Address

Every time you go online, on any sort of device, you will be assigned an IP address, or an Internet Protocol Address.

This address provides information on what device you are operating, the internet service provider used and can even pinpoint where in the world you are sitting right now. And all this information is attached to every piece of data you send and receive via the web

Whats my IP? For some the IP address is fixed or is a Static IP, and remains constant no matter how often you log on. For most, the IP address is a Dynamic IP, allocated randomly by the internet service provider each time you go online.

But whichever format you use, your IP address is assigned to that specific device for the entire time you are online, and is attached to every piece of information you access.

What does an IP Address look like

An IP address comes in a standard format of four sets of numbers, each of which ranges from 0 to 255. Each number is then separated by a decimal point. E.g.: 172.84.371.1

Why do we need IP Addresses

The IP address fundamentally acts the same as the address of where you live. Without your address, letters cannot arrive, and without the IP address of your device, information cannot be sent or received. And we’re not just talking about emails. The online data you access and download every single moment you are online is simply inaccessible without a valid IP address.

And with every piece of data you send or receive, your IP address is attached, showing the world where you are and what you are doing.

Why Would You Want to Hide IPs?
