Using the IP address or Internet Protocol address of a computer or smartphone, it can be clearly determined where you are currently as a user of a network. This address consists of four blocks of numbers from 0 to 255, each separated by a period. Each network address can only be assigned once. If you now want to surf the Internet anonymously, you should regularly change your IP address or use tools such as NordVPN , which will assign you a new IP address. How to change your IP address manually is explained in this guide.

Note: Check with your Internet service provider to see if a static IP address is available for your tariff. For example, Vodafone does not offer an option for static IP addresses in its private tariffs.
