How to Change Your IP Address

Safe and practical ways to obtain a different public or private IP address.

Restart your router

Some internet providers assign dynamic addresses. Disconnecting your router for a period and reconnecting may result in a different public IP, but it is not guaranteed.

Switch networks

Moving between home broadband, mobile data and another trusted network changes the public address used for that connection.

Use a VPN

A VPN gives your traffic the public address of its selected server while connected.

Change a private address

Your router assigns private LAN addresses to devices. Reconnecting, renewing DHCP or changing a device network configuration can change this local address without changing the public one.
