Julia comes with a built-in package manager which downloads and installs packages from the Internet. In doing so, it necessarily reveals your public [IP address](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address) to any server you connect to, and service providers may log your IP address. In Julia versions 1.5 and higher, by default the package manager connects to <https://pkg.julialang.org>, a free public service operated by the Julia project to serve open source package resources to Julia users. This service retains IP address logs for up to 31 days.

### Official domains

The following domains are official and used by open source Julia infrastructure for serving content and resources:
