An IP address can show your general location – your ISP’s name, country, city, ZIP code, and sometimes even your street address. It’s a price we have to pay to be recognized by the network we want to connect to.
Sadly, when we put this information out into the world, malicious individuals or groups can take advantage of that information and later use it against us. You can read more about this in our blog post where we talk quite extensively about what can someone do with your IP.
