What is an IP logger?
An IP logger is a web program that tracks users’ IP addresses. It works by providing the user a link, and by clicking on it their IP address will be disclosed.
There are two types of IP loggers. The first is a special tool that helps you track the statistics of a website, blog, or any other internet service. Such a tool can be downloaded via Google Play and the App Store, and you can find an online version to use via a computer. This tool shortens URLs and provides quick access to the full logs and statistics of clicks on these links.
The second type is a malicious tool that can be used to attack the user and their computer or phone in addition to tracking their IP address. Many experts say that some unexpected browsers can redirect to the Iplogger.org domain. This is not a good sign for users because it means a Trojan infection.

How to forget about such threats
Suppose you are tired of the daily online threats associated with hacker attacks, data leaks, viruses, phishing, spam, and many other things. In that case, it is best to choose an alternative to the centrally controlled internet. For example, use the decentralized Utopia P2P network. Utopia is an anonymous, private ecosystem – a private internet connection on the internet.
The entire network operates on the principle of peer-to-peer architecture; that is, there is no central server for storing data. Instead, each user has their own cryptographic container and is both a user and a server at the same time.
The ecosystem has several tools for messaging, data transfer, online payments, games, etc. In addition, there is a separate browser that does not track IP addresses or online activity of users so that it can never be compromised later.
