Your external IP is set by your ISP and you cannot change it.

Until recently i used putty and ssh tunnel, but as you know ssh can not do UDP traffic tunneling that is why i've been searching other solution for myself and i found it. I recommend you SmartHide by Arovax http://www.smarthide.com - one click of a mouse and no settings headache You push a button and a tcp/udp tunnel is created and you don't need setup the software. All the programs work through tunnel... p2p, email, web surfing, skype, adult sites, online games and casino.

Hide and change IP!

Hi,

I read all your posts, but I am not very familiar with some of the commands.

I want to change my IP address because I live in Mexico and I am forbidden to acess a lot of American sites. I don't think my purpose is illegal (maybe theirs is! )

Could you tell me about that NETSH thing? I also saw a way with a RUN command (ipconfig release) that changes it, but I am not sure. I work in a small network (2 computers) through a modem. I use Win XP and browse with Firefox

Thank you very much

To Allwyna,

You don't just need to change your IP -- you need to change it to a different location than your own. The only real way to do this is through the use of proxy services.

A good one is at: http://www.iprivacytools.com (I know they have U.S. based servers, which is what you mentioned).

Thanks a lot. I find that IP address scary! THAT shouldn't be permitted. I knew the IP was not enough to appear in a different country,

I have installed Tor, but it is disabled, I would need time to learn how to use it, as well as yours. Which I don't now, and I feel very frustrated.

I thought you can change your ip if you are hooked into the modum?
