How do hackers actually obtain your IP and do (and if so how) VPNs stop them?
In: 3
Every Internet request you send out contains your IP address. It has to or the other server would have no way to send a response. A VPN acts as a middleman in the process: you send a request to the VPN, and then the VPN sends a request to the destination server; when it gets a response it sends it along to you. The result is that the destination server sees the VPN’s IP address instead of yours.
