What's My IP Address?

PIA’s most value-packed subscription comes out to only $2.69 per month. PIA offers the best VPN service at a significantly lower price than our competitors — and one subscription covers unlimited devices!

An IP address is a necessary part of connecting to the internet. It’s a unique number linked to all of your online activity — including your device information, location, and more. This unique number provides a way for advertisers, hackers, and authorities to track you online, gather and sell your personal information, or restrict your access to online content.

Luckily, you can mask your IP address and increase your anonymity with a PIA VPN.

Your IP address can be used to track you online, as it is unique to your particular device and location. Advertisers, cybercriminals, and authorities can use your IP to keep tabs on you, gather and sell your personal information, or restrict your access to online content. For these reasons, it is considered a best practice of internet safety to hide your IP address, just as you would any other private information.

Buy PIA VPN and connect to a server to mask your IP address and browse the web privately.

Your IP address is closely tied to your geographical location. While an IP address won’t reveal the exact address of your home, it’s very easy to tell which country, state, city, or region you’re accessing the internet from. This means you may have trouble accessing your favorite content while traveling abroad unless you use PIA VPN.

Change your IP address with just a few clicks. Connect to a server in another country to change your virtual location and unblock websites in your home country as if you never left. 

Absolutely. You have a right to privacy online, and using PIA VPN to keep yourself secure and anonymous while browsing the web is perfectly legal in almost all jurisdictions. VPNs are illegal in China, Russia, Belarus, North Korea, and other authoritarian regimes, which only allow citizens to use state-approved VPN services.

Yes. Your real IP address is still protected when using a Dedicated IP. Unlike a shared IP, which is assigned to many users, a Dedicated IP is unique to your account. No one else can use it, which limits congestion and gives you better speeds, all while preserving the same security and anonymity of a traditional VPN. So while a Dedicated IP is unique to you, PIA keeps no record of which Dedicated IP belongs to which user.
