Change Ip Address
There can be many good reasons why a person would want to change IP address. Security reasons, in defense of hacking or identity theft, privacy reasons, since every web site you visit does record your IP address, and of course so you can anonymously cause trouble on Internet discussion forums. But that’s not a good idea or very nice.
If you do decide you need to change it, how exactly do you go about doing that? First of all consider what an IP address is. It stands for Internet Protocol and is the way in which networked computers communicate with each other. An IP address therefore is like a computer mailing address, based on your Internet service provider. This allows your email to arrive at the correct place and lets your web visitors see your website. A typical IP address will be in this format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and each set of three numbers can range from 0 to 255. If your computer is not connected to the Internet then it can be assigned any IP address you wish.
Someone knowing your IP address could be a security risk. In addition to the threat of hackers and websites keeping track of your visits, software could be used to trace your geographical location. An internet savvy user could see your IP address listed on a public discussion forum and trace it back to your Internet Service Provider, and eventually find your name and address.
Therefore people have devoted much time to learning how to change IP address. There is a science, or at least a complicated step-by-step process to change IP address. It involves going into your Internet properties and altering your configuration. While many have done this by following instructions for each version of Windows, be sure to know exactly what you’re doing! Altering your configuration settings can completely ruin your Internet connection if done incorrectly. If you’re not technologically inclined, you may have to pay a computer expert to repair the connection. Attempting to change IP address by yourself could be risky.
Another alternative rather than risk your connection is to purchase change IP address software which routes your Internet Explorer program to different overseas servers. Unlike trying to change IP address yourself, this software is safe and easy to use. You simply click a drop box menu and select the country you want to route the IP address to. You will be almost untraceable.
Now comes the tricky part. Yes this is all legal, but is it legal what you are planning to do? Protecting yourself against hackers and Spyware companies is a wise idea, but using the software to harass other Internet users anonymously is not permitted. Especially unacceptable is using the software for illegal activity. If it is discovered you use the software for illegal activity law enforcement could subpoena a proxy server owner and find out who you really are. Be sure and change IP address responsibly and for only cautionary reasons.
