An IP address, or Internet Protocol address, is your device's digital fingerprint in the online world. It’s a unique set of numbers assigned to every device connected to the Internet, acting as a virtual address that allows data to find its way to you.
Whenever you browse the web, send an email, or stream your favorite shows, your IP address ensures that the information gets to the right place—your device.
Your IP address is more than just a number; it can reveal your location, the Internet Service Provider (ISP) you use, and even your device type. This makes it essential for online communication and, unfortunately, online tracking. Understanding your IP address is crucial for safeguarding your online privacy and security.
Now, your IP address will be changed, and no one can track your original location.

Changing your IP address helps protect your online identity by making it harder for websites, advertisers, and third parties to track your browsing habits and location.
Changing your IP address allows you to access geo-restricted content in your region, such as streaming services, websites, or apps available only in certain countries.
If you live in a country with strict internet censorship, changing your IP address can help you bypass these restrictions and freely access the open Internet.
If your IP address has been banned from a website or service, changing it can give you access again, as the new IP won’t be recognized as blocked.
Regularly changing your IP address can reduce the risk of cyberattacks, such as hacking attempts or DDoS attacks, by making it more difficult for attackers to target your device.
Changing your IP address can sometimes resolve connectivity problems or conflicts within your network, improving your overall internet performance.
IPv4, or Internet Protocol version 4, is the most widely used protocol for routing internet traffic. It's the original version of the Internet Protocol, developed in the early 1980s, and it’s still the backbone of most online communications today.
An IPv4 address comprises four sets of numbers, each ranging from 0 to 255, separated by periods, for example, 192.168.0.1. This format, called 32-bit addressing, allows for approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses. While that number might seem vast, the rapid growth of internet-connected devices has nearly exhausted this supply, leading to the development of a new protocol.
IPv6, or Internet Protocol version 6, is the next-generation protocol designed to replace IPv4. It was introduced to address the limitations of IPv4, particularly the shortage of available IP addresses. Unlike IPv4's 32-bit address space, IPv6 uses a 128-bit addressing system, which allows for an almost limitless number of unique addresses—around 340 undecillion, to be precise.
An IPv6 address is longer and more complex, consisting of eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, separated by colons (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334). In addition to offering more addresses, IPv6 brings improvements in terms of routing efficiency, security features, and overall performance.
Using a VPN (virtual private network), you can change your location and hide your IP address. A VPN routes your internet traffic through a server in another location, masking your real IP address with one from the VPN server, effectively changing your online location.
To protect your IP address, encrypt your internet connection with a VPN. You can also use a proxy server or the Tor browser to add an extra layer of anonymity.
Yes, websites, advertisers, and even cybercriminals can track your IP address to monitor your online activity and location. VPN prevents IP tracking from hackers and other unwanted sources by encrypting your data.
To change your IP address on Android, the best way is to use AstrillVPN’s Android app. Other than that, you can go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi. Long-press the connected network, select Modify network, and set your IP settings to Static. For a dynamic IP change, you can enter a new IP manually.
To change your IP address on iPhone, go to Settings > Wi-Fi. Tap the 'i' next to your connected network, select Configure IP, and switch to Manual. Use AstrillVPN for a more secure, dynamic IP change.
Yes, it's generally safe to change your IP address, especially when using a VPN. It enhances your online privacy and can help you bypass geographic restrictions or avoid tracking.
Your private IP address is the IP assigned to your device by your local network, typically starting with 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x. It's used for communication within your home or office network and is not visible to the public internet.
