Why Do You Need To Hide Your IP

Believe it or not, there are hundreds of reasons why you need to hide your original IP. You can check some of the most common ones below!

IP Monitoring By Government Authorities

Many countries in the world have laws which enforce ISPs to monitor internet users’ IP and keep a record of your online activities, including your browsing history, logging details, device you most connect with, time in and time out, what websites you visit, and much more. Most of the times, this data ends up in the market for sale. This is why you see a lot of unwanted ads and receive emails from websites you have never even visited before.

The story doesn’t end yet, you haven’t heard the worst part. Based on the profile an ISP creates, you may end up with a legal notice, or jail time for downloading torrents, promoting piracy, and in some cases propagating a revolution against the government or the Monarchy. However, not even in your dreams have you done any such thing. So, it is always a good thing to kill the snake before it bites you. Hide your original IP and make it impossible for everyone to track your digital footprint.

List of Countries with IP Monitoring Laws

USA – NSA Prism program	Verizon, AT&T, Comcast and Time Warner Cable keeps a record of your IP and online activities for at least 6 months.
Canada – Bill C-11 (Copyright Modernization Act)	All ISPs are bound to monitor every internet users’ IP, no matter if they are the residents of Canada or a tourist, for at least 1 year.
Europe – GCHQ and EU Data Retention Directive (DRD) Law	According to this law, all countries in Europe, based on the individual laws keep a record of every internet users’ IP, location and incoming & outgoing phone numbers for a certain period of time which vary from time-to-time.
United Kingdom – Investigatory Power Bill or Snoopers Charter Bill	According the newest amendment in the investigatory bill which is now called “Snoopers Charter”, every ISP is bound to monitor and log your online activities. This law also permits legal bodies and authorities to hack into the phone to see your internet history and data usage without any prior notice.
Australia – Data Retention Law	Passed in Oct 2015, this law enforced the ISPs to keep a record of all your communications, including 2 years of users’ email and internet traffic data along with recipients, date, time and attached files.

IP Masking for Unrestricted Internet

Watching same stuff over and over again is boring, isn't it? Why not explore new dimensions every day? With A VPN not only can you hide your IP to protect your online privacy, but it can also be used for entertainment.

With a VPN, you get an uncensored access to all websites on the internet. A feature that becomes particularly useful when you’re traveling and you want to access any website just like if you're residing in your home country.

Hide Your IP to Avoid Identity Theft

An IP address is your real identity on the internet. Every device has its own unique IP address. This helps websites identify your location, which is also important for them when it comes to analyzing the traffic to their website. However, the downside of freely exposing your "IP" is that you can be monitored, and that is why it is necessary for you to hide your original IP address so that you can protect your privacy.

Hide Your IP to Enhance Your Internet Experience

On the internet, your life is an open book. Anyone on the internet can gather information about you from various sources like Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Tinder, etc. The more you share online, the easier it gets for others to invade your privacy. Don’t let your personal space and private information be compromised by unknown vulnerabilities. Hiding your IP and replacing it with one of the VPN server’s IP helps you enhance your internet experience by keeping you 100% tension free. Hide your IP and surf the internet without any fear of being trapped, tracked, and hacked.
