What is an IP in the context of Surfshark VPN?

In the context of Surfshark VPN, an IP refers to an Internet Protocol address, which is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. When one uses Surfshark VPN, their real IP address is masked and replaced with one from Surfshark's servers, which can be located in any country where Surfshark offers its services. This process ensures privacy and security by making online activities more anonymous and helps bypass geographical restrictions and censorship by making it appear as though the user is accessing the internet from a different location.
