Do most websites log or know the user’s IP address? Is the public IP address required to visit any website and therefore it’s “public” online?
In: Technology
Anything on the internet you connect with will know your IP address. The IP address works like a postal address, it is used to identify the receiver for whom a message is intended.
Most, but not all, webservers will actively log all traffic. The owner of the server can read these logs to see who requested what and when. This is done by default to troubleshoot errors and spot abuse.
