A split-panel infographic titled "PUBLIC IP ADDRESS & THE ROLE OF VPN". The left panel, labeled "WITHOUT VPN," shows a computer with an exposed public IP address connected directly to the internet, vulnerable to tracking and cyber threats. The right panel, labeled "WITH VPN," illustrates a computer connecting through a secure, encrypted tunnel to a VPN server, masking the real IP with an anonymous VPN IP for enhanced privacy and security.

What is Public IP Address and the Role of VPNs

Public IP addresses are unique identifiers assigned to devices connected to the internet, enabling them to communicate with other devices globally. These addresses are essential for the functioning of the internet, enabling the routing of data between different networks and ensuring that information reaches the correct destination. However, the visibility and accessibility of public IP addresses also pose certain privacy and security risks. This is where Virtual Private NetworksRead more
