Use a VPN
The best way to hide your IP address is by using a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN is a service that acts as a middleman between your device and everything else on the internet. It masks your IP address, making your personal data virtually untraceable.
As using VPNs have become increasingly popular, there are many VPN services out there that can range from very secure to very shady. Make sure you use a trusted service or you run the risk of putting your information in more danger than it would've been in in the first place.
Use Proxies
A proxy works like a middleman between your computer and the internet so the websites and other applications will see the proxy server’s IP address and not yours.
However, modern proxy servers are more powerful than ever and offer a range of functionalities such as acting as a firewall and providing shared network connections. Proxy servers are an excellent way to protect yourself against the wild things out and about on the internet.
Virtual Private Networks
Your IP address is like a digital identity that websites and servers use to identify your system. There are several reasons why you’d want to hide your IP address such as privacy, safety, and security of your data and computer system.
VPN: A Virtual Private Network is an intermediary server that encrypts the connection between your computer and the internet – effectively hiding your IP address. VPNs essentially function as a mask for your IP address so you're untraceable online. These powerful networks are more powerful even in comparison to a secured Wi-Fi Hotspot.
The Onion Router
Tor is an abbreviation of The Onion Router. It is a global decentralized anonymity network that encrypts your traffic and routes it through an arbitrary sequence of volunteer “nodes.”
The FREE open-source project efficiently conceals the location of a user and protects against those attempting network surveillance.
