A VPN address, often referred to as a VPN IP address, is the new internet protocol address assigned to your device when you connect to a VPN server. Normally, your device has a public IP address that reveals your approximate geographical location and is linked to your internet service provider. When you use a VPN, your real IP address is hidden, and you are temporarily given the IP address of the VPN server you are connected to. This makes it appear as if you are browsing from that server's location. This process masks your true identity and location, providing anonymity and the ability to bypass geo-restrictions.
