Yes, and easy to hide or mask an IP address if one has a little knowledge of such things.
Know that the IP block I'm listed in puts me somewhere in Southern WV. For all anyone knows though I might be in D-troit, MI, or Karnataka, India. Being honest I am roughly mid state of Western WV.
I could make it seem that my IP was anywhere I chose though. Add in
MAC address spoofing and randomization, it gets rather difficult to locate me if I choose not being tracked electronically. I might even piddle around, set up a system to use only secure socket layer transfer protocol. This site is not a SSL site though & even requesting it to use that does not allow for it to happen. IMHO, that might be a change to consider given current implications.
Let us genuinely be underground, possibly even going to using Tor,
I2P,
Freenet,
Zeronet, or some such like.
