Does incognito mode hide your IP address?

• -Every website you open, because a server cannot send a page back without it.
• -Every third-party script on those pages - analytics, ads, embedded video.
• -Your search engine, alongside the query text itself.
• -Your internet provider, which assigned the address and can tie it to your account.

An IP address is not your name, but it is a stable handle. It typically resolves to your city and provider, and because a household usually shares one address for weeks at a time, it links visits that look unrelated. Pair that handle with search queries and you have a diary.

• -VPN: your traffic exits from the provider's server, so sites see that address instead. Best everyday option - choose a no-logs provider.
• -Tor: relays through volunteer nodes for strong anonymity, at the cost of speed.
• -Private search with an integrated tunnel: keeps the query unlogged and the address masked in one step.

DeepIncognito's SuperIncognito mode pairs unlogged search with a tunnelled exit node, so neither the query nor the origin address is exposed to the destination.
