+# IP Address
+
+The IP address is a numerical label for a computer that is connected to a network using the
+Internet Protocol (IP).
+There are two versions of IP addresses: IPv4 and IPv6.
+
+## Geo-blocking
+
+Geo-blocking is the practice that restricts access to internet sites or content using information on
+the users location.
+This location is often obtained using the IP address.
+
+Geo-blocking can be evaded by using a [VPN service](/wiki/vpn.md).
+Sometimes the IP addresses that are used by VPNs are blocked by websites.
+To avoid this a spoofing tool like [Chameleon](/wiki/chameleon.md) for [Firefox](/wiki/firefox.md)
+can be used.
