Google has an army of PhDs, and Adsense has been around since 2003. They have already developed sophisticated tools to track cheaters who click on their own ads
There’s one guy here on YA who even masked his IP address, but Google still caught him
DON’T DO IT
It will not be up to Google to prove to you how they caught what they deemed as fraudulent clicks on your site. They will not show you the IPs of those who clicked.
You have to remember that the first responsibility of Google is to satisfy their advertisers, where the money comes from; and not the publishers. They need to protect the interests of advertisers at all cost. As a result, any clicks perceived to be less than above-board are investigated oftentimes leading to the cancellation of the account of the advertiser.
Instead, focus on creating great content on your site, optimizing your ads, and getting targeted traffic to your site

For starters they use your ip-address, but also your computer’s os, browser, resolution, and several other settings. Combine this with your browsing behaviour on your own website, and they will rather certainly get you for it.
Even if you ask your friends or family to all click 10 ads a day on your website, they will get you.
The only way you COULD get away with it is if you often have the chance to get to someone else’s computer, and click on your ads only once on each different computer. However, it takes you less time and effort to just drive more traffic to your website.
