Hide my IP address
Protect your online identity with NordVPN.
Your IP address reveals your online identity and location to the wide web. But if you connect to a NordVPN server, your IP will stay a secret.
One click and no one sees your IP
Connect to a NordVPN server and browse under cover of its IP address. Your traffic will be encrypted with military-grade security standard recommended by the NSA.
It takes a single click to:
- hide your IP
- encrypt your internet traffic
- change your location
NordVPN has 5500+ servers based in over 59 countries. That means you have more than 5500 IP addresses to choose from.
Going the extra mile to protect your privacy
Shared IPs
You will connect to a VPN server through an encrypted tunnel and browse the net under cover of its IP. Even better, every user on that server will share the same IP. That means your online activity will be virtually untrackable, as it will be concealed in the traffic of hundreds of other users.
No-logs policy
Due to our strict no-logs policy, none of your private data will be monitored or logged at any time. No one (including us), will know the time or duration of your online sessions, servers or IP addresses, the websites you visited, or the content you’ve downloaded.
Kill Switch
If your VPN connection unexpectedly drops, the Kill Switch will block your internet to protect your private data. VPN disconnections are rare, but they may happen because of various and unpredictable reasons. The Kill Switch is your last line of defense.
DNS leak protection
Once connected, your device will use DNS servers operated by NordVPN. This security measure will keep your traffic from exposure to internet service providers or hackers, who may be watching your network. Unfortunately, not all VPN services offer DNS leak protection. NordVPN does.

Frequently asked questions about hiding your IP
What is an IP address?
Every device (computer, phone, tablet, etc.) has an IP. Without it, you couldn’t browse the net. When you type in the name of the website in the address bar (example.com), your computer looks up its IP address and takes you there.
IP addresses are necessary to send and receive data on the internet. However, they also pose a threat to your privacy and security. An IP address can be used to identify you and track your online activity.
What are IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv6 is the next-generation standard, containing eight blocks of numbers. Each block is written as four hexadecimal digits and the blocks are separated by colons (:). For example, 2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:ff00:0042:8429.
IPv6 was created to replace IPv4, which will eventually run out of unique combinations.
