Today, a huge number of users of computers, laptops or other devices use an Internet connection. This article will be especially useful to those who want to remain incognito on the network for reasons known only to him. Oddly enough, but few people think about the consequences of carelessness in the global network.
There are many options because of which it is extremely necessary to change the IP address of a computer. For example, you go to a site, but do not want to know your location. If you are rude to someone in the comments on the site, the place where you are can be determined by your IP address. Or you have flooded in a chat and you are blocked by IP address. It’s a completely different matter when it occurred to you to hack into the factory director’s computer. This is much more serious, and here you may have problems with the law. Of course, it’s better not to try to
change the IP address, but simply not to break the law. Even if a person decides to behave neatly and covertly, it is not always possible to find reliable information on how to change the IP correctly and not allow you to harm.
The IP address provides comprehensive information about your situation, so if you did something not very good and did not worry about hiding it, you might get unnecessary trouble. It is worth noting that with the help of IP you can not only be found in the physical sense, but also send a virus, since the initial digits of the IP address almost never change, and there is no big difficulty to flood your entire system with viruses.
The easiest option is to reboot (turn on and off) the modem - the IP address will be changed. Of course, this will be enough only to enter a chat in which you were blocked, or to a site whose hoster did not let you in. But not more.
If you are planning something serious, you need to prepare well and carefully. One of the options to change IP is to simply go to some cafe and use the Wi-fi network, which will undoubtedly be able to protect you, since until you start looking for you, you will no longer be there. But still, it is more convenient for any person to be at home, at their PC and, without breaking away from it, to be incognito.
Therefore, there are several options for changing the IP of the computer. Since operating systems are not functional for changing IP, you will have to do this using special programs.
One of the most common IP address change options is proxies. In order to change the IP in this way, you need to find any proxy server in any search engine that you can eventually use. For example, type in the search bar: "change the IP proxy server." The essence of this method is that you will send and receive information through this proxy, usually a fake one, so it will be more difficult to track you. But do not forget that if you want to intercept a letter, for example, from the Pentagon, then do not rely on secrecy, they will find you, sooner or later, but they will. You can check if your IP address has changed using special sites that provide such information, they can also be found in any search engine.
There is a more sophisticated technology, the so-called Virtual Private Network. This technology may be needed if you were blocked in a game or program, for example, in Skype. Since blocking data can reach the level of an entire regional subnet of IP addresses, the first method is not suitable for you.
In this case, changing the IP will be more difficult, you will have to register on one of the sites that provide such services, after which you will receive all the instructions and access to the necessary programs for a deeper change. In this case, you can use the blocked services using a fictitious location (for example, your IP address will identify you as a resident of Australia).
