What is a U.S. IP address?

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique number that identifies your device when you’re online. An IP address is expressed as a set of four numbers, with each number ranging from 0 - 255. An example address might be 123.45.6.78. A U.S. IP address is one assigned to a server in the United States of America.

There are more than 1.5 billion unique IP addresses assigned in America. Over 8 million of these are in the range between 100.128.0.0 - 100.255.255.255. However, a U.S. IP address might start with almost any number from 100 - 99.

Because your IP address is associated with your location and your internet service provider (ISP), changing your IP address with a VPN gives you more control over what apps and websites know about you and makes you more anonymous online.

Defeat internet censorship

Avoid online censorship by using a VPN to get a U.S. IP address. When you connect to a VPN, your activity is shielded from your ISP, so they're not able to block or slow down specific types of online content. A VPN makes it easy to get a U.S. IP, whether you're aiming for net neutrality or trying to access censored content from a country outside the U.S.

    Love this app. I travel extensively around the world and this app helps me keep in touch.
    Whatever site I go to, they have no clue where I am located or who I am, and I like it that way.
