Internet Protocol (IP) masking
Internet Protocol (IP) masking involves hiding or disguising your actual IP address—the unique number assigned to your device when connecting to the internet. By using tools like VPNs (Virtual Private Networks), your real IP is replaced with one from a different location, helping protect your privacy, prevent tracking, and access region-restricted content. Essentially, it acts like a digital disguise, making it harder for websites, advertisers, or malicious actors to identify or monitor your online activities.
