    There are two types of ip's .one is your service provider ip and another one is computer's internal ip.to hide your ip,just go to hidemyass.com and browse then you will go to a secure browsing.the speed test also cannot detect your location

    the i.p address changes from time to time, however when we go to speed test.net our current i.p address is being apperead to the speed test server which it trackes back us our location.
