What is a U.S. IP address?

An IP address is a unique number that identifies your device when you’re online. A U.S. IP address is one assigned to a server in the United States of America.

Because your IP address is associated with your location and your internet service provider (ISP), changing your IP address with a VPN gives you more control over what apps and websites know about you, and makes you more anonymous online.

Use ExpressVPN’s IP address checker to find out what apps and websites can learn about you from your IP address.

Why get a U.S. IP address?

A U.S. IP address allows you to browse the internet as if you were in the United States. This is useful for accessing websites that use geoblocking to restrict their content to certain regions.

If your VPN doesn’t have servers in the U.S., or isn’t optimized for maximum compatibility, you may lose access to these services whenever you connect. But a premium VPN like ExpressVPN is engineered to protect your privacy and security no matter what you’re doing online, whether you’re scrolling news sites, watching live sports on ESPN, or streaming in HD from platforms like Netflix, Hulu, or HBO.
