How to Change/Hide Your IP Address - Introduction
This video will show you how to hide/change your IP address so that you can bypass websites that have blocked your IP address or so that you can surf anonymously. The websites used in this video are www.cmyIP.com and www.torproject.org.
Step 1
So that you can see if it changes or not, the first step we want to do is find out what our current IP address is. The best way to do this is to go to visit CmyIP.
Step 2
Now you will need to download and install Tor Project , a compilation of free utilities that enables you to surf the web anonymously. Among these programs is a proxy anonymizor called Privoxy, a Tor extension for Firefox, and the core Tor package called Vidalia.
Step 3
Once installed, you will then be prompted to run the Tor program. To enable it in Firefox, you should see a button in the bottom right corner that says "Tor Disabled". If you click it, it will enable Tor.
Step 4
Now if you visit CmyIP again, you will no longer see your original IP address. To disable Tor project and get back your old IP address, just disable the Tor button in Firefox, exit out of the Privoxy and Tor icons in the system tray, and restart Firefox.
