What is IP address How to Hide IP Address

No doubt you've heard the term "IP address." Unless you're a techie, though, you may not have more than a shadowy notion of what an IP address actually is or how it works. Let's explore the concept.

IP address stands for Internet Protocol. It is provided by your ISP to your computer whenever you request for an Internet connection. Giving someone your IP address is like giving him your Home address when you are alone.



An IP address is a fascinating product of modern computer technology designed to allow one computer (or other digital device) to communicate with another via the Internet. IP addresses allow the location of literally billions of digital devices that are connected to the Internet to be pinpointed and differentiated from other devices. In the same sense that someone needs your mailing address to send you a letter, a remote computer needs your IP address to communicate with your computer. Now, I cannot tell you more about these things now Take the Main Point.




An IP address consists of four numbers, each of which contains one to three digits, with a single dot (.) separating each number or set of digits. Each of the four numbers can range from 0 to 255. Here's an example your IP address might look like: 78.125.0.209. You can check your IP address Here
By using your IP address anyone can easily trace your location. Sometimes it become important to hide the real IP address due to many reasons. Example :- When you are trying to hack someone's account or Website you should hide your IP Address, to get Prevented From FBI or Victim.
