Upon entering the network, each user receives a unique address, which is called an IP address. Depending on what type of connection your Internet has, dial-up or high-speed, the IP address may change each time you connect (in the first case), or have a static address (in the second).
Beginning users are unlikely to have a reason why they will need to change the IP address. But for those who earn money on the network, for example, paid surfing or use services that cannot be used from one IP address, such a need is a completely natural phenomenon. It will also require changing the IP address for those users who, for some reason, have received a ban - they will definitely need to become unrecognizable. It will require replacing IP and limiting the number of requests.
A good reason to change the IP address will be an attempt by outsiders to gain access to confidential information, although it should be noted that this measure alone is unlikely to completely save you from the problem. Changing IP can be performed both in the computer and in the browser, as a result, the successfully performed procedure will make you an incognito visitor.
How to change the IP address of a computer
For the inability to identify the individual address assigned to the browser, the installation of a proxy will be required. For example, consider how to do this on the most popular browsers - Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Before proceeding with the procedure, go to spys.ru. There we select the address by country and date of testing. We copy it (do not forget to copy the corresponding ports). In Mozilla Firefox, go to the "Tools" tab, then "Settings", then - "Advanced", "Network", "Configure". After checking the box next to the item "Manual
proxy server settings", copy the address and the corresponding port there. We confirm the established changes. Such addresses do not differ in special "survivability". If the browser stops opening pages, you should change the address and port.
Changing the
IP address in Internet Explorer is different. Click "Service", then -
"Internet Options", then - "Connections", "Network Settings". Do not forget to check the box "Use proxy server for local connections". Next, copy the address and port in the same way as the first case with Mozilla Firefox.
There is an option to change IP for all browsers quickly and easily. To do this, use one of the many special programs, for example, such as Auto Hide IP. On the Internet it can be downloaded for free. By installing the program, you get the opportunity to change IP instantly. At the same time, you have the opportunity to change the country at your discretion.
Some services on the Internet offer services of a completely different plan, but giving the same result that you are striving for. Using these sites, when entering the address of the page you need, you can log in to it with a different IP different from yours. Despite the convenience of such services, they have some drawbacks: they are all paid, when you try to change the IP address of the page for free, they will only open halfway.
