Mask Your IP Across Your Devices
How to Mask Your IP Address in 3 Steps
Get a new IP address and an encrypted connection in a few minutes
Browse More Privately When You Hide Your IP
Your IP address works like a return address for everything you do online. Every time you visit a website or online service, your IP address helps identify where the internet traffic originates. However, it reveals your approximate location to websites, advertisers, and anyone who might be interested in figuring out your browsing habits.
When you connect to a VPN, the VPN routes your traffic through an encrypted tunnel to a VPN server. The sites you visit see the server’s IP address instead of yours. That means you can read the news, shop, or check your bank balance while minimizing how much of your browsing activity links back to you.

Why Hide Your IP With a VPN?
Your IP address doesn’t say much on its own. But combined with cookies, logins, and browsing data, it can be used to:
- Track your activity across sites and apps
- Target you with ads based on where you are
- Change the content and search results you see
A VPN replaces your real IP address with a VPN server’s IP address, making it harder for anyone to link your activity and location back to you.
Get a More Secure Connection When You Replace Your IP

Cut Down on IP Tracking
Keep your browsing habits close to your chest. Websites and data brokers see a VPN server’s IP address instead of yours, making it difficult to build a profile about you. Your ISP can’t see which sites you visit either, only that you’re connected to a VPN.
Make Yourself a Moving Target
Cybercriminals will have a hard time intercepting your data if you mask your IP address and encrypt your connection. When you connect to a PIA VPN and use the VPN server’s IP address, it limits what attackers can do to target you.
Secure Shared Networks
Protect yourself as soon as you log on to café, airport, hotel, or other public Wi-Fi networks with PIA’s automation settings. Setting your VPN to connect the moment you join unknown networks helps to ensure your IP and data don’t slip out unintentionally.
Choose Your Virtual Location
The world is your oyster when you connect to one of PIA’s 179 server locations. Your IP address will point to your general new location and websites, advertisers, and anyone checking your IP will see that server’s location. Your real location stays private.


Keep Your Connections More Familiar
Visit your usual banking, news, and shopping sites while abroad with added security. Websites can use your IP address as one indicator of location when they choose what to show you. Connect to a PIA server in your home country to keep your connection familiar.
Block Ads and Trackers
Stop ads and trackers at the DNS level, even before they reach your browser. With PIA’s MACE, pages load with less clutter, fewer scripts collect data about you, and advertisers who can’t see your real IP have a harder time targeting you by location.

Hide Your IP Online With a No-Logs VPN
It doesn’t matter how well a VPN can hide your IP address if it keeps track of your browsing activity. Our No-Logs policy has stood up to scrutiny in court twice and independently audited by Deloitte regularly. This means PIA VPN never logs your IP address, browsing history, DNS queries, connection timestamps, and bandwidth activity.
Our privacy guarantee extends to our infrastructure and software. We use RAM-only servers that wipe any stored data upon reboot. You can inspect our open-source app code to decide whether PIA’s privacy practices live up to our claims.

Hide Your IP Address: Frequently Asked Questions
An IP address is a unique string of numbers your internet service provider assigns to your connection to let websites and apps know where to send data. It doesn’t reveal your street address, but anyone can look it up and learn which city or region you’re in and which ISP you use.
You should hide your IP address to keep your real location private from the sites you visit, give trackers less information to work with, and help to protect yourself and your home network from targeted attacks.
A VPN is the most practical option to mask your IP address. A proxy can do the same, but it usually doesn’t encrypt your traffic. There’s also Tor, which hides your IP by routing traffic through several volunteer-run relays, but it’s often slow and only protects traffic sent through the browser.
Yes, it’s legal to use a VPN to hide or change your IP address in most countries. Some governments restrict or ban VPN use, though. Check the rules where you live and where you’re traveling to before connecting. Keep in mind that a VPN doesn’t make illegal activity legal, and you should always follow the terms of service for the platforms that you use.
A VPN protects your IP address by routing your traffic through an encrypted tunnel to a VPN server. Websites see the server’s IP address instead of yours. In addition to a built-in Kill Switch to block traffic if the connection drops, PIA also offers DNS and IPv6 leak protection to help keep your real IP hidden if something goes wrong.
Yes, a Dedicated IP from PIA still encrypts your traffic and your real IP address stays hidden. The difference is that the IP address belongs to you for the duration of your subscription. PIA uses a token-based system that makes it almost impossible to link your Dedicated IP to your account. However, websites and others might be able to recognize repeat visits because your dedicated IP address never changes.
