And you might have to log back in to whatever secure site you're currently using. If you're tooling around with IP address changes, you might have some other questions. Here are two of the most common questions I've been asked. Routinely changing your external, or public IP address, can help you improve your overall security and browsing privacy.
There are other reasons, too. If you've just installed a new home router, you may need to reconfigure your network with a quick IP change. One common problem among home routers is that they sometimes give devices the wrong IP address, so changing your IP manually can solve those glitches. If you want to access a country's catalog of streaming media services when you're outside of that country for whatever reason, changing your IP to one based in the right country can get you the catalog you're looking for.
Likewise, if you're a gamer looking to lower your lag, changing your IP via a gaming proxy server can help improve performance. One neat tech trick for second-language learners is to use an IP address based in another country to generate search results and local publications written in the local language.
Yes, it's legal to change your IP address in the US. People change their IP addresses routinely when facing direct attacks on their online security, when testing a website before it goes live, or when they simply prefer to protect their privacy. Obviously, this FAQ is in no way offering legal advice and you should consult a licensed attorney for specific questions, but the legal boundaries on IP address changes usually start with what you change your IP to, and what you do with that new IP address.
You might also run into trouble if you're changing your IP address to access a website you've been banned from. IP spoofing is also a tool used by some cybercriminals to perform a handful of well-known attacks, most commonly those related to identity theft and those aimed at crippling websites with organized distributed denial of service bombardment. When you use any of the virtual private networks we've reviewed in our directory , the service will automatically make you appear as though you have a different IP address originating from whatever country you select.
Literally just open your VPN app and connect to any city other than your current one -- in less than 30 seconds, you've changed your IP so it appears to be from wherever you chose. There are some key privacy differences that I've detailed elsewhere, but when you use a proxy, it also changes your visible IP address.
Chrome, Firefox and Brave Browser all have their own versions of proxies and browser-based VPNs that you can try for yourself. Setting up a VPN on your iPhone or Android device is as easy as installing any other app on your phone, and I've got a step-by-step guide in case you'd like to see how to do it. If you're gaming from a console, I've also got a quick walkthrough for you on setting up a VPN on an Xbox along with a list of the ones that performed best in my tests.
If you've never toyed with VPNs but are considering one, I've got the Cliff's Notes version of how to pick the right one , which you might find helpful. Whatever you do, just avoid free VPNs.
Seriously not worth the malware risk. Instead, pivot to the cheapest ones that I've test-driven for you. Thank you for your patience and for taking the time to reach out to Comcast for help with changing your IP. I am sorry to learn that you were advised to reset your router for it to change for months and that all we did was try to change the gateway password. As a customer myself, I understand the importance of receiving exceptional service.
Can you tell me if you are wanting to change a static IP address? I tried to change the ip numbers not to static I just wanted it to stay as dynamic ip not to static. A lease time is usually assigned to the IP address and once it has expired a different IP address is assigned to the device.
This is something that will automatically change when the lease time expires on the modem. Can I ask why you wish to change the IP address? Everyday I play a game I get ddosed because I kill one certain person and hes toxic a lot too. Also stops us from my dad trying to run his business. I'm so sorry for this.
I can imagine how frustrating this is. The cookie is used to store the user consent for the cookies in the category "Analytics".
