Hii, guys. I was looking into virtual IP addresses and couldn’t understand what’s a virtual IP address, how’s that different from common IP addresses. Can anyone help me?
Any help/support is appreciated so much.
In: Technology
A virtual IP address is used by multiple devices as a shared identifier, managing and distributing internet traffic among them. A common IP address is assigned to a single device and is used to identify it uniquely on a network.
If you’re asking in the context of a VPN, when you access the internet through a VPN or proxy, websites and internet services will only see the VPN’s or proxy’s virtual IP address instead of your device’s actual IP address. This provides anonymity and security because the internal structure of devices and real IP addresses behind the VPN are obscured from external observers.
