HOW TO CHANGE YOUR IP ADDRESS

There are several reasons why people change their IP address; most people from different countries have different reasons some censorship, some to participate in online business but whatever yours may be just know that you are at right place.
The first thing you will need is a software, in my teaching I will be specifically talking about one particular company and their software because I use it very well, but there others I have used that equally works well. The name of this software is known as freedom, they happen to have so many servers with which you can switch over and use some are ‘US’’ SERVERS, ‘GERMAN’’ SERVERS, SWITZERLAND and many more but wherever you are you have the ability to access any of their servers and it is easy to use so far you follow my instruction. First thing to do is to register, please fill in right details when you are through, go to email and activate your account, to do this go to www.your-freedom.net under the ‘LOGIN’’ you will see ‘REGISTER’’, click on it and register.
The next step is to download the software to do go to www.your-freedom.net, you will see DOWNLOADS click on it, a new page will open showing different option such as ‘WINDOWS FULL INSTALLER’’, If you are using windows operating system then select ‘MIRROR US’’ under ‘WINDOWS FULL INSTALLER’’ and save the download.
After downloading the software you will need to install, after installing it a small page consisting of different languages will pop up, select the language you understand for example English. Then another page will pop up, there you will see configuration click on it, another page will open entirely, click on the USE WIZARD, then another page will pop up which says WELCOME, click next, it will ask you to fill in proxy address and port, don’t fill anything instead click next, leave the TWEAK as NONE, and click next, it takes you another page also click next, it will start looking searching for their servers close to you once it is through, it will show different servers, select one of them, now go to ACCOUNT INFORMATION and fill your password and username you registered on their website then click SAVE AND EXIT. Now you will find out that it is only one page that is left open, look at the toolbar of that page you will see PORTS click on it, you will see SOCKS 4/5, WEB PROXY and OPENVPN PORT, check there boxes, just these three. Now you are through configuring your freedom software.
NOTE: while doing the above your computer needs to be connected to the internet.
Next is to configure your browser that you will use to surf the web for instance OPERA or FIREFOX.
First of all let’s look at how to configure OPERA.
Open you opera browser, click on tools, click on preferences, then click on advanced, click on network, click on proxy servers, another page will open, click on all of them and configure the proxies (all proxies) to 127.0.0.1 and configure all the ports to 8080 and click on enable http 1.1 proxy, then save. Now if you use opera as your browser, you ip has been changed to use it, first click on start connection on freedom software and then start browsing with your opera the same thing applies to Firefox.
Secondly to configure Firefox
Open your Firefox browser, then click on tools, click on options, click on advanced, click on network, click on settings, then click on configure manually, under http proxy, type in 127.0.0.1 and under PORT type 8080, click on use this proxy server for all protocols and then save. You have finally configured your Firefox to use a different IP address.
The good thing about freedom is that about freedom is that they have both paid account and FREE USERS, but the paid tariffs is as cheap as the free tariff and the paid tariffs are more flexible than free tariff, so I will advise you to go for the paid tariff is as cheap as 5 euro per month. If you have any problems feel free to let me know.
