Below is an example:
- Before spoofing IP with VPN Gate:
As you can see, through IP address checking, websites can gather a lot of other information about you, such as geographical location, internet service provider, device and operating system being used, or even screen size, ... So it can be quite dangerous if you don't spoof your IP, as malicious individuals can easily obtain a lot of information about you once they have your IP address.

Fantastic! The website truly believes you are in Japan, proving it has been completely deceived by VPN Gate! Now you can rest assured about your online safety with a completely different IP address from reality.
