Sometimes a user may encounter a blocking by ip, and he will need to change it. Someone may need to delete cookies so that the site does not recognize him on a second visit. There are several ways to do this.
IP is a virtual address assigned to a user's computer. Thanks to him, the computer can receive and send data, being a full member of the network.
Cookies, or cookies, are service information about the user that sites collect through the Internet browser. When you go to a frequently visited site without entering a password, and it automatically recognizes you - this is what cookies work.
Why delete cookies and change ip
Some sites are only available to residents of a specific region. For example, an American site may not admit residents of Europe or Russia.
The geographic location of the user is determined precisely by his ip-address. Changing the ip to American will solve the access problem.
This or that site can block a specific user by ip-address. If he wants to continue using this site, he needs to change the ip.
Most sites prohibit multi-accounts. In other words, one person cannot register more than one account. This is tracked both using ip and thanks to cookies. The problem is solved by clearing cookies and changing the ip.
Some people don't like it when sites collect data about them. The data is collected using cookies and may be passed on to third-party sites. Most often these are advertising systems.
Attackers, by intercepting a user's cookies, can use them to gain access to his accounts on different sites. Clearing cookies regularly or blocking their transmission can help.
How to delete cookies
Cleaning cookies is not a big deal. Cookies are managed in the browser. Each browser stores cookies on its own, independently of the others.
To clean it, you need to go to the settings and find the menu item in which privacy and security are configured. In addition to deleting, you can set the desired mode of receiving cookies there. For example, you can deny them completely or automatically clear them when you close your browser.
Be careful when disabling cookies completely. In this case, some sites may not work correctly.
If you don't want to manually clear cookies in each browser, you can use the free CCleaner program. In it, you need to mark the types of files that you want to delete and click the corresponding button. She will do the rest on her own.
How to change ip
There are several ways to change ip. Each of them can solve certain problems.
The easiest way is to change the ip for the owners of a dynamic ip-address. To change it, it is usually enough to restart your computer or router. This method is suitable if you are banned by ip.
If you need to change your region, rebooting is not enough. In this case, a proxy server will help you. This is a mediation server. First, you connect to it, and from its ip-address you go online.
There are quite a few types of proxy servers. The choice of the desired variety depends on the specific task. It is worth remembering that not all proxies mask your real IP address.
After selecting the required proxy server, you should activate the connection through the proxy in the browser. Proxy settings will become available to you. Enter the ip-address and port of the proxy server in the corresponding fields.
There are many disadvantages to proxy servers. Their lifetime is short. Not all programs can work correctly with them. Plus, good proxies cost money.
There is a more reliable and convenient way - using a VPN. This is an encrypted channel, a virtual tunnel for data transmission. With it, you can select the ip of the desired country and region.
VPN services are provided by special services. They also provide the user with the necessary software. VPN's only drawback is that it's a paid service.
Another way is the anonymous TOR network and the browser of the same name. But many sites block TOR users, and the issuance of IP addresses is unpredictable, which again can lead to blocking. The main advantages are ease of use, free and high level of anonymity.
