IP Addresses and VPNs
Your IP address is your digital fingerprint. Learn what it reveals about you and how a VPN protects it.
What Your IP Address Reveals
Your IP address shows your approximate geographic location (city-level accuracy), your ISP, and can be used to track your online activity across websites. Advertisers, websites, and governments use IP addresses to identify and monitor users.
How a VPN Hides Your IP
When connected to CasperVPN, websites see the VPN server's IP address instead of yours. Your real IP is hidden behind the VPN tunnel. Combined with DNS leak protection, your identity and location remain private.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can my IP address be traced with a VPN?
With CasperVPN's no-logs policy and encrypted DNS, tracing your real IP through the VPN is extremely difficult. Our servers do not store connection logs.
