Why do I need an IP address?
An IP address is a fundamental component of networking and internet communication. It is like a street
address for your device, enabling them to identify and communicate with each other. Whether you are accessing
the internet, hosting a service, or managing network security, having one is essential.
Just as a street address helps people know where to send mail, an IP address helps the internet know
where to send information for your device. Without an IP address, your device wouldn't be able to
communicate and receive information from the internet or other devices on a network.
Can I use the internet without it?
No, an IP address is required to access the internet. It is a unique numerical label assigned to every
device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. It serves two
main functions: identifying the host or network interface, and providing the location of the host in the
network. Without it, a device would not be able to communicate with other devices on the internet.
Is it safe to share it?
Sharing your IP address can potentially compromise your online privacy and security. It can be used to
determine your location, and it can also be used to track your online activities. If you share it with
someone you don't trust, they may be able to use it to gain access to your personal information or to
launch attacks on your devices. Therefore, it is generally recommended to keep it private.
Can someone see my IP address when I use incognito mode?
Unfortunately yes. Using incognito mode in a web browser does not hide your IP address. Incognito mode
primarily helps to prevent the browser from storing information on your device. Information like browsing
history, cookies, and cached files. However, your IP address is still visible to the websites you are
visiting, as well as to your ISP.

Could someone track my online activities?
When browsing the internet at work, your employer can track your online activities by monitoring a proxy
server or VPN service they require you to use. If you're browsing at home, your activities will be
logged on your device (unless you use incognito), and by the servers you're connected to.
