  Computers almost never have unique identifying IPs anymore, so it’s not a threat. But if you leave a comment on someone’s blog, they can see the IP you’re using at the moment.

  WordPress.com bloggers can’t see the IP addresses of individual visitors except when they comment.

  On most other web sites, however, the owner can see the IP address of each and every visitor. But that’s not very meaningful, because there’s usually no easy way to tie an IP address to an actual person.
