How to change your ip address

[Nopanic]

It doesn't change it, your accessing things through another system.

I like the way VM does residential IP assigning, personally. DHCP by MAC with timeout of 24 hours after which the address goes back into the pool. If you really want to keep that IP, keep your modem on. Pretty simple. I'd have a dynamic DNS account anyway, just in case you want to access things at home from elsewhere and you're worried something might happen that'll change your address.

Try the connection tab at the top as you will not change the supplied ip to your equipment with a proxy as that has already been assigned to your equipment and therefore it will not change your MAC address either.

I agree with Masque, it worked for me

I went to ip-address-lookup-v4.com and turned off the modem, came back 24 hours later turned the modem back on and hit refresh, the IP range changed. Wondering if it's possible to do it with less waiting time

I don't understand why switching to a proxy still gives you a vigin IP address it doesn't make any sense...

this clearly shows host as virgin media, if you use a proxy it will show a host of the proxy not your ISP, otherwise it wouldn't make sense to use proxies at all...

Proxy's can broadcast both the proxy address and client IP address.

For example they can broadcast the IP address requesting the traffic by parsing HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR or HTTP_CLIENT_IP.

Blind or invisible proxy's will not do the above, as they pass the traffic back to the requesting address anonymously.

These kinds of proxies tend to be used by people who want to hide their public address, or bypass a network ban against their public address.

Be VERY careful when using proxies if you don't want to get caught doing something you shouldn't, as you do not know how much information that proxy you are using is logging.

Uhh, a virgin media proxy... you realise that's on virgin media's network, right?
