Welcome to tinkernut.com video cast, if you have any questions or comments, email me at admin@tinkernut.com.
In this video I am going to show you how you can change or hide your IP address and this is for the purpose of either surfing the web anonymously or they get around somebody that has blocked your IP address.
So to view your current IP address, just go to www.cmyip.com, and this will show you your cur rent IP address. And this is what we are going to change. So to change it we are going to need some programs and they are all found in www.torproject.org so if you click on the download link on their website, it will allow you to download the package. And it is completely free, so there will be no charges on it. And once it is downloaded, just go ahead and install it and it will show you all the different packages that it is going to install. And then it is going to add a Firefox extension as well. So you need to restart Firefox.
Then it is going to show you that Tor is connected in the bottom right hand corner of your screen, you will see two new icons. And then Firefox, you will see a new Tor Disabled or Tor Enabled but if it is disabled just click on it to enable it.
So now with all that running if you go back to see myip.com, you will see that your IP address has changed.
All right, that is it for this tutorial. For more go to www.tinkernut.com
