Internet protocol is the abbreviation for IP. Historically, IP was the connectionless datagram service in the original Transmission Control Program introduced by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn in 1974, which was complemented by a connection-oriented service that became the basis for the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The Internet protocol suite is therefore often referred to as TCP/IP. An IP address is provided to every device that is connected to the internet which will give them the ability to transmit data from other devices.

The IP is your online biometric fingerprint which can be used to track you by anyone who has any entity online. now of the question comes if your IP address shows your exact physical location? The answer is not quite because when a person looks at your IP address they can get a basic idea of your geographical location but they can only get the city name or maximum your area name. If you need to know more you can research from here. If the police or the government wants to identify your IP and get your exact location then your highest speed will provide them with it but anyone can look at your exact physical location but they can extract information for you and your identity and your online location. It's because you would want to hide your traffic in you would want to hide your online identity and you would want to save yourself from people eavesdropping on your online traffic. If you use a VPN for a virtual private network your online traffic is going to be encrypted from your device to the VPN server that we prevent anyone online which can access your IP to you not see what you are doing. Using a VPN is a safe process and you can count on them.

It can brrached. National Security Adviser can bypass all private networks. You wonder why EFCC is suddenly arresting yahoo boys now? The FBI shared technology with the EFCC and it is yielding adeqaute result. If you're into Yahoo and think you're safe with VPN, I laugh hard at you.
