Change IP adress with a VPN

An IP address is an identification number assigned to a device, such as a PC or a printer in a computer network.

An IP address is almost the same as a phone number. As all mobile phones must have a telephone number to be able to call other phones, all devices must have an IP adress in order to communicate with others on the internet.

Today, IP addresses are written as four integers. These are separated by periods. This can be, for example, the number 181.0.23.40. Each of these four integers may have values ranging from 0 to 255.

The easiest way to change your IP address is through a VPN. Before we can explain how to change your IP address with VPN, we must explain what VPN is.

VPN is in short a secure connection between your device (PC, mobile or similar) and a remote server in the same country or elsewhere in the world. A kind of tunnel is created between your device and the eksternal server, so all your traffic goes through this server before it reaches the web.

Since all the traffic going through this server, a imporant effect is created. Since all the traffic goes through this server, other peoplle on the internet will believe that the traffic comes from this particular server. The server will have its own IP address, and because of this others on the internet will believe that the traffic comes from this IP address.

Because of this your IP address will be virtually hidden, as only the server's IP address will be visible. Such a way, you will have effectively changed your IP address with a VPN service.

When you are connected to a VPN service, you will be completely anonymous and it will not be possible for others to track you. This, of course, is a huge advantage with a VPN service.

Most VPN services also have a so-called kill switch. The problem with some VPN services is that the connection to the remote server can rarely drop out and at this moment your actual IP address is revealed to others on the web.

The effect of a kill switch is to turn off your internet access automatically when you lose the connection to the remote server. In this way, there will be no temporary disclosure of your IP address.

You can get any IP address you want, as different VPN services have servers in all different countries. Thus, for example, you can get a Norwegian IP address, Swedish IP address, US IP address, German IP address and the like. The possibilities are endless.
