how to hide your ip address
Top reasons why people want to hide their IP address:
- Hide their geographical location
- Prevent Web tracking
- Avoid leaving a digital footprint
- Bypass any bans or blacklisting of their IP address
The safe and secure way:
Use a Trusted Proxy or Virtual Private Network. Sign up with these services and when you go online, you'll be showing the world a different IP address...one that's on loan from the service you're using.
Here are some VPN providers that you might consider:
VPNs can be free or you can pay for the service. They help you get on the Internet and assign you a different IP address, but there's a wide range of reliability in providers.
THE EASY WAY!
Use Free Wi-Fi Outside of Your Home.
An IP address doesn't travel with you. So if you simply go to a coffee shop, bookstore or hotel lobby and tap into their Wi-Fi, you will temporarily hide your usual IP address. How so? You'll be using their network's IP address for as long as you're online.
Try it out. First, check your IP address on WhatIsMyIPAddress.com, and then visit any place with free Wi-Fi, log in to their Internet and check it again.
