What Is An IP Address?

An IP address is a string of characters that gives a networking device unique identification. It is the key that makes network communication possible between devices. Without an IP address, a device would not know where to send data.

Facts About IP Address

Here are some cool facts about IP addresses that you probably did not know.


  • IP addresses have existed since the 1970s.
  • IP addresses are assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).
  • IPv4 and IPv6 are the two types of IP addresses.
  • IP addresses are classified into Private and Public addresses.
  • Your IP address can reveal your geographic location and the internet service provider.
  • Your local IP address can be the same as your friend in his home, but not on another device in your home.

Private IP Address vs. Public IP Address

Private IP address is also called a local IP address because it defines the network of devices connected to your router. The router assigns each device a unique IP addresses to distinguish them on the network.

On the other hand, a public IP address connects you to the internet. A single public IP address can represent multiple local networks on the internet.

How Does A VPN Hide Your IP Address?

A VPN creates a virtual tunnel between your device and a VPN server over the internet. Thanks to how VPNs work, the VPN server can be used as an intermediary to connect to destinations, such as websites, on the internet. It allows you to access the internet anonymously by masking your IP address. The websites you visit will only see the VPN server's IP address.

Your data travels in an encrypted form inside the virtual tunneling, which prevents third parties like your ISP or any unwanted threats from monitoring the internet traffic
