The Internet is a network in which our information and our daily exchanges with the world circulate, and to ensure the good routing or the good movement of the packets in the network, each user present on the Internet has a public IP (Internet Protocol) address which makes it possible to identify him in a unique way in the network. With this address we can have a lot of information about the user, such as the geographical position (country, city, street, latitude, longitude, etc.), the different sites visited and much more.

By knowing the public address that someone uses on the internet you can have a lot of information about the person’s online life and if you make blunders on the internet it is easy to trace you thanks to the public address you used. So we see that this public address business can be embarrassing, but as in computing there are solutions to almost every problem, there is a way to hide your public address on the internet and fool anyone who wishes to track you down with it. And the appropriate solution in this case is the use of a VPN (Virtual Private Network) which will assign you a false public address with geographical criteria quite different from yours.
There are many VPN providers and some are paid and others offer a paid and a free part. You can create your own VPN network (but not obvious for a private person). Some browsers like Opera Browser have directly integrated the functionality in their software, and like Opera Browser, to activate a VPN you just need to follow these steps:
Start the browser and click on the logo at the top left
- Then click on new private window
- In the new window that appears look at the address bar and the address bar and click on VPN which is displayed there.
- The last action is to click on to activate the VPN
Your new public IP address has just been changed, as well as your geographical location and all that goes with it. That was all friends, here is the video for a more detailed visual explanation.
