What your IP address actually exposes - and what a VPN does about it
Every connection you make exposes your IP automatically - city-level geolocation, ISP, ASN, device type, all readable before you've interacted with anything.
Combined with browser fingerprint and timing data, it's enough to build a detailed profile without any permissions.
A VPN routes your traffic through a server with a different IP. Websites see the server, not you. Native Residential IPs go further - they look like regular household connections rather than datacenter exits.

[TIP] Cybersecurity Awareness Month - 3 habits that take minutes and protect you all year
Hey guys,
Quick reminder of the basics, since October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month:
Hey guys,
Quick reminder of the basics, since October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month:
- Use a VPN on public Wi-Fi - free café Wi-Fi is great for lattes and terrible for privacy.
- Turn on two-factor authentication - a stolen password alone shouldn’t be enough. Add a second lock.
- Keep apps and devices updated - updates patch the holes attackers look for.

Hey guys,
A feature that’s been in the extension since launch but is easy to miss: every tab can have its own location.
- Per-tab locations – a different city and IP in each tab, all active at once.
- Residential IPs – runs on Native Residential VPN, with a real local ISP assigned automatically.
- Per-tab rotation – the IP stays the same for as long as possible, and rotating changes it for that tab only.
- WebRTC leak protection – note that video and voice calls won’t work while it’s on.
New tabs stay on your own network until you pick a location.

Halloween weekend - what’s your scariest proxy horror story?
Hey guys,
Things scarier than ghosts, at least in our line of work:
– A WebRTC leak exposing your real IP mid-session
– A DNS leak you only notice after the fact
– An IP that rotates right in the middle of a login
– A “fresh” residential IP that turns out to be already flagged
What’s the one that got you? Drop your horror stories below
