HI All, With my limited knowledge on this subject.
I understand you can hide your PC address by introducing a internal or External Internet proxy server / IP disguiser software between yourself and the internet / cyber world.
Enterprises therefore have a proxy server with firewalls enabled to prevent such cyber attacks kept in the Public network zone of the company network instead of the User network zone.
Awaiting lots of valuable comments on this topic.
good question Mr.
G.
Taborada.
Take care and have a gr8 day to all Ladies and Gentlemens reading this blog.

we can protect our ip with to type: 1.
with a program there is a lot of program for this djob.
2. 
Manual type 

you can use some softwares or website that provide such service.
the most famous to hide your IP from virtually everywhere is https://www.torproject.org The website provides an internet browser to browse the internet from a custome browser blocking external traffic and IP.
However, trying to hide the IP would means preventing you from using some services such as youtube etc.
so you could be selective when to hide the IP and when not.

An IP address enables devices to locate and communicate with each other on the Internet.
Completely hiding the IP address of a device would render it invisible but also unusable online.

We don't need to hide our IP but need to protect it by getting it hacked or attacked.
Hiding IP means we are not letting outerworld use our services.
If we are advertising our services then why to hide it.
Just be vigilent & have proactive approach.
There are many ways to protect our public IPs.
Best practice is to have a firewall (Hardware) installed, Inside NAT & ACLs.
Cheers !!!!!!
