Question How do I change my proxy/IP?

Hello,

I need to be able to change my proxy or IP address so it appears that I am residing in a different country. How does one go about doing that?

Do you own a proxy server? or are you just confused? I'm pretty sure you mean you want to surf "anonymously" which will appear to the web server as another IP address. That's call configuring your web browser to connect to a public proxy server and no you can't change their IP address, you are using their server for http request.

This is probably what you wanted http://torpark.nfshost.com/

Forgive my lack of knowledge in this area, I was only using terminology I'd picked up from here and there. However, I think you've understood me and I think that link is just what I need. Thanks very much.

It was worth a shot... for some reason it didn't work.

I use the same program at school and it does work. What you need to have is patentice, torpark does the whole random thing and so sometimes the IP address doesn't work. The best thing to do is force change the address in the tool and if you ever get an IP address that works go to "Manual IP Selection" (or something along those lines) and you can plug in the IP that worked and always have a good ol' out of country address. Hope it works

Are you behind a firewall or some sort?

I am, but I allowed it to pass the firewall. I don't think the router will be interferring, it never has in the past.
