If it gets revealed to anyone, you\u2019ll be at risk. Just like public Wi-Fi is accessible to anyone and their IP is visible to anyone, on these networks, hackers are active, and they can get your personal information to blackmail you. This is why changing an IP makes your IP protected from cyber thieves. You can change your IP address on devices like Android, iOS, Mac, Windows, and a router.
