No, your IP address can reveal your approximate location (city or region), but it cannot pinpoint your exact street address or identity without help from your ISP or legal authorities.
You can use a VPN (Virtual Private Network), proxy server, or the Tor browser to mask your IP address and improve your online privacy.
If your ISP uses dynamic IPs (which most do), your IP address can change over time or when you reconnect. A static IP remains fixed and requires specific setup or purchase.
