The Internet is a truly remarkable tool that can be used in various different ways by users everywhere in the world, from gathering information, communication, entertainment, end even education.

Every single time a device; smartphone, computer, tablet and even a smart refrigerator connects to the internet, an IP address is assigned to it.

What’s an IP Address you may ask?

Well, an IP address is a unique number that is assigned to a device connected to the internet or network.

This number can be used to identify a particular device including your physical location. You can think of it like a fingerprint.

No two devices have the same IP Address. When you access the internet when you access the internet, your IP address is broadcast for all to see it.

Every website you visit, and every network you use will know your IP address and they can use it for a number of different purposes, some completely fine, and others you should be very worries about.

How to change your IP address to another country

There are multiple different methods you can use to change your IP address to appear like you are in another country or city. The process varies from method to method and some methods suit certain needs better than others.

*.VPN: VPN stands for Virtual Private Network, and is the intermediary between your Internet connection and the sites that you wish to visit.

With a VPN, you get to use remote servers that are spread out across the world to tunnel your internet connection through (exactly like in the movies when trying to trace hackers); as a result, you can change your IP country address and choose a brand new one from a country that suits your needs the most.

In addition, the VPN safeguards your data with the use of data encryption, through safe tunneling and firewalls protecting your traffic,you don’t risk having your data snooped on while surfing the web.

Your ISP or Government won’t even know what you are doing online. You simply need to subscribe to areliable VPN service, download their app and you’ll be all set, whenever you want to charge your IP you just turn on your VPN and choose a location.

Security Gladiators highly recommends

*.Tor Browser: Tor is an open source, free web browser that enables you to mask your true IP address regardless of your location.If you visit the official website of The Onion Router, you will be instructed on how to get a new IP address and thus shield your anonymity online.

You will have to download the Tor browser and proceed with other instructions as advised to get a brand new IP address..

While this will change your IP address and encrypt your internet connection it does have some down falls.

For starters, it is extremely slow.

Don’t even bother trying to stream video or music with it, it is even very slow to open up a normal web page.

Secondly, this is the browser that is used to access the Dark Web, so ISP’s and the Feds are monitoring who is using the Torbrowser.
