Changing the IP address when working on the Internet is a pressing issue for many users who, for one reason or another, do not want to leave behind any traces of their activities. In addition, changing the IP address allows you to go even to those sites, access to which was closed by the local network administrator.
Instructions
Step 1
To change the Internet-recognized IP address of your computer, you need to make sure you have an active network connection and open the browser you are using.
Step 2
Hiding or changing IP addresses, as well as encrypting and protecting traffic on the Internet, allow special programs - anonymizers. In order to start using the anonymizer, download the program you need and install it on your computer. In this case, you will need skills in working with search services, since choosing a program that meets all your requirements is sometimes difficult because of their abundance. Many programs are paid, others do not have all the features of paid applications. A large number of users prefer to use the TOR multi-platform proxy server for these purposes as the most ergonomic and useful.
Step 3
Changing the IP address on the Internet, however, can be accessed without installing any programs. For this, web proxies are used that do not require any additional settings and are convenient for irregular changes in the address data of the computer. Open one of the search portals in your browser, enter the word "anonymizer" in the search box and choose the most convenient web proxy for you.
Step 4
Before using an anonymizer that will allow you to change your computer's IP address, access blocked sites and hide the traces of your activity, make sure that it suits your needs. For example, many web proxies are a paid service. Other tracking services are free, but they do not allow working with scripts or some web forms such as applications on the VKontakte network. Special catalogs will help you choose the anonymizer that suits you. The best web proxies are currently considered to be anonymouse.ws, hidemyass.com, shadowsurf.com, proxyforall.com and easysecurity4u.com.
Step 5
Having chosen the anonymizer, go to the corresponding site, type the URL you need in the query line and click the Go button. After that, the page of the site you requested will open, but its address will be the address of the CGI proxy.
