It is necessary
a computer with Internet access
Instructions
Step 1
Use a proxy server to hide your IP address. To do this, download a special program that searches for available active servers, which usually takes a long time. Then use one of them to go online. Please note that when you use a proxy, you may encounter problems with access to the full functionality of certain sites, and some functions may work in an unusual way for you.
Step 2
Change your IP address frequently when reconnecting to the network. This is relevant if the dynamic type is specified in the properties of your Internet connection. To reset, simply turn off the computer, including over the local network, remove the plug from the modem connector for a couple of minutes, and then reconnect to the Internet. You can find out your current IP-address, for example, using the site https://www.myip.in.ua/ or other similar services.
Step 3
In order to hide your IP address from other users, follow the basic rules for using resources and try not to make direct connections to the user. Also, do not send them mail messages (in the properties of the message, you can find out the address of the sender's computer).
Step 4
Do not send files directly, for example, through various clients like QIP or ICQ, do not make calls on Skype or Mail Agent, and so on. Also write in the settings of the programs you are using to prohibit direct connections to users.
Step 5
If you want to hide your IP address from other members of the sites you visit (for example, from administrators), use browsers with additional private browsing features, both Opera and Mozilla Firefox have this feature. It is activated from the top menu and deactivated when you switch to normal mode.
