Clarification: Nearly ALL wallet providers are tracking your IP address

All Cryptocurrencies

by COINS NEWS 152 Views

Most wallets that connect to the Internet track your IP address. This is often for bugs reports, statistics, and other uses. They'll store your IP address, and that could be logged and recovered in the future. And if you're using an offline wallet, it probably connects to an online service or RPC that does track you.

So before you vilify Metamask/Infura and promote other wallets you think are safe, just realize that it's extremely common. Now whether it's a bad thing really depends on you.

Most dApps, web3 sites, and CEXs already track you, and you've probably given away your IP address many times already. If you need to hide your tracks, you should've used a VPN that doesn't store your IP address in the first place. It's already too late.
