IP address
In Turkish: IP adresi
The number address your connection uses on the internet. Sites see it, and it shows your provider and roughly your area.
Every website you visit sees your IP address. It usually points to your internet provider and a general area, not your home door, though your provider can link it to your account. It often changes over time.
A VPN replaces it with the VPN's address for the sites you visit. Knowing your IP address does not let someone break into your device by itself.
What to do
- Do not worry about your IP address being visible; it is normal.
- Keep your devices and router updated instead.
- Use a VPN only when you have a reason to hide it from the sites you visit.
