Hide Your IP Address With Private Internet Access

Advertisers, cybercriminals, and authorities can use your IP address to keep track of you as you use the internet. Websites also use your IP address to decide which content to show you – often limiting access to visitors based on their IP address. Using PIA’s VPN to hide your IP address helps you protect against these threats to digital privacy and online freedom.

When you connect to a PIA VPN server, we’ll route your traffic through a secure, encrypted tunnel. This will conceal your location information from websites, government censors, and cybercriminals. We mask your IP address and keep your information private. Not even we know what you do online. We abide by a strict No Logs policy, which was reviewed as confirmed by an independent audit.

VPNs are perfectly legal in most countries worldwide. Using a VPN like PIA to help protect digital privacy and online freedom is your legal right as an internet user. Unfortunately, some countries including China, Russia, Belarus, and North Korea, only allow citizens to use state-approved VPN services.

Yes. You're still protected when using a dedicated IP. Unlike a shared IP, which is assigned to many users, a dedicated IP is unique to you — no one else can use it — but it has all the same security and anonymity benefits of a traditional VPN. And, while a dedicated IP is unique to only you, it’s not assigned to you by your ISP, so there’s no way to trace it back to you. Not even PIA knows what your dedicated IP address is, thanks to our anonymous token method!
