Information, such as IP address, and ISP, collected by a certain website can be used to cause potential security risks. Anybody can use your IP address to cause malicious harm to your computer; it can be used for leakage of personal information, such as your address, and name. All in all, the internet is the most insecure place out there, so take precautions.
 

The importance of hiding your IP address 

The information on your computer should belong only to you & in order to maintain its privacy you need to keep the IP address hidden so that all information will become unknown to all hackers as well as websites that track the number of your visits & collect information every time.


Therefore hiding IP address will disable such parties to detect your identity & penetrate your privacy online because information available to them is totally different from what you have so no traceable evidence will be left behind.
