Detailed tutorial on changing IP address manually

Hey guys! Today I'm going to teach you a very interesting skill - changing IP addresses manually! Yes, you heard it right, change IP address! Imagine that you can change your "IP shape" just like you change your look, and you can swim in the Internet world, protect your privacy, visit certain websites, and even go over the geographical limitations! Isn't it exciting? Let's explore this amazing and interesting world with me!

Step 1: Understanding IP Addresses

Before we get started, let's understand what an IP address is. The so-called IP address, which stands for Internet Protocol Address, is used to identify and locate a device on the network. It can be categorized into IPv4 (32-bit) and IPv6 (128-bit), and we'll focus on IPv4.

An IPv4 address usually consists of four decimal numbers (0-255) separated by dots, e.g. 192.168.0.1. This address is like the address of a house, through which we can find out where the device is located. ummm... It may seem a bit abstract, but that's okay, the steps that follow will make you understand it thoroughly!

Step 2: How to change the IP address

To change the IP manually, we can do it in several ways.

Method 1: Change IP through network settings

First, we open the computer's network settings, and then click "Change adapter options". Next, locate the network connection you are currently using and right-click on it to select "Properties". In the pop-up window, click "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and click "Properties" again. In the new pop-up window, select "Use the following IP address" and fill in the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway you want to change.

Sample code:

import os

def change_ip_address(ip, subnet, gateway):
command = "netsh interface ip set address name='Ethernet' static " + ip + " " + subnet + " " + gateway
os.system(command)

change_ip_address("192.168.1.100", "255.255.255.0", "192.168.1.1")

Method 2: Use a proxy server to change the IP

In addition to changing the local IP address, we can also use a proxy server to achieve the effect of changing the IP address. The proxy server can act as a middleman to receive our requests and forward them to the target website, thus hiding our real IP address.

Sample code:

import requests

def change_ip_with_proxy(): proxy = {{{{{}}}}}
proxy = {
'http': 'http://127.0.0.1:8888', 'https': 'http://127.0.0.1:8888'
'https': 'http://127.0.0.1:8888'
}
response = requests.get('http://icanhazip.com', proxies=proxy)
print(response.text)

change_ip_with_proxy()

Step 3: Test the changed IP address

After we have changed the IP address, we can do some simple tests to make sure the IP address has been changed successfully. For example, type "what is my ip" into your browser and see if the search results show the IP address we changed. Or use a simple Python script to get the current IP address and compare it to the one we set.

Sample code:

import requests

def get_current_ip(): response = requests.get('')
response = requests.get('http://icanhazip.com')
current_ip = response.text.strip()
print(current_ip)

get_current_ip()

Okay, guys! Through this detailed tutorial, I believe you have mastered the skill of changing IP address manually. By changing IP address, we can enjoy a safer and freer network environment. Of course, when using the IP change technique, you still need to pay attention to some legal and ethical norms, do not use it for illegal purposes only oh!
