how's it going everybody welcome back and can you change your ip address the simple answer
is yes but of course depending on what you're looking for out of changing your ip address
some methods may not be so effective as opposed to other methods such as using a vpn for example now
of course you can just call your isp and ask for a change of ip address you can turn off your router
and wait for like 10 minutes before you turn it back on and that'll chances are you'll pick up
a new ip address you can manually change your ip address and you can use a proxy server of course
all of these methods don't really give you access to geo-restricted content but if you're just
simply looking to change your ip address using these methods just to let's say change your
location or cover up your tracks that could work but you're not going to be securing your traffic
while doing so of course the way to secure your traffic and keep everything encrypted is by using
a vpn so i have three recommendations for today expressvpn or vpn surfshark so before
i begin if you guys are interested in any of these vpns you'll find links to special deals
and discounts in the description down below as well as full-on reviews if you'd like to
know the ins and outs of these vpns in terms of privacy policy speed streaming and taunting
capabilities as well as security and features now as i said using a vpn will encrypt your traffic
because a vpn is essentially um what you're putting between you and the internet is a tunnel
of uh through the server of course through your vpn server it kind of puts a tunnel of encrypted
uh data it scrambles your data it scrambles your data so that it's no longer readable
it's completely encrypted and whoever's trying to access it will not be able to without a key
which is only available with the vpn provider so unless the vpn provider
is in collusion with the hacker that's trying to access your information and they give them
your key or the key to your traffic they won't be able to access it now of course if you're trying
to change your ip address again for the sake of accessing geo-restricted content that's not going
to happen if you're using a server because usually geo-restricted content such as streaming services
for example like hbo or netflix they will be able to identify that you're using a proxy server and
they will block you so what you can do is use a vpn and i'm going to demonstrate here using
let's say expressvpn i've already demonstrated that so it's showing that i'm new york here on
what is my ap dash address.com and i'm gonna turn this off right now and i'm gonna try to
demonstrate this again using oops i'm gonna try to demonstrate this using nordvpn now
um let's just say you know what let's go and select brazil for example this time
and let's see how that'll work as soon as i'm connected i'm just going to refresh of course
what i'd recommend using is the lightweight edp protocol if you're using express if you're
using uh nordvpn i definitely recommend using the nordlynx protocol which is a true wire guard very
powerful protocol and the same wireguard protocol with surfshark these are the best performing
protocols in all these vpns so definitely go ahead and stick to those they'll work really just
99 of the time they'll always be working so again look at that we're in brazil now so really is as
simple as that when it comes to changing your ip address and just uh kind of demonstrate this one
more time let's connect to let's select a country here let's just say melbourne
and i want to show you guys here that the ip address itself is changing so i wanted to show you
guys uh again using or demonstrating using surf sharks so the ip address again it changed here and
the country should be australia in melbourne as as the server that we selected here so it really is
as simple as that again if you guys are interested in any of these vpns you'll find links to special
deals and discounts in the description down below as well as full-on reviews uh besides that thank
you guys very much for watching and i'll see you guys in the next one have a wonderful day
