What Does IP Address Mean And How To Change It?

It is a unique identifier to a computer over the internet. So it works as an address to identify computer over a network. IP address is of two standards, one is IP version 4(IPv4) and another is IP version 6(IPv6). IPv4 uses 32 binary bit and IPv6 uses 128 binary bits. The computer gets either a static IP address or Dynamic IP address.

Dynamic IP address available for only limited time and static address can be provide by you, so it doesn’t change itself. IP is also changeable by using 3^rd party software such as hidemyass, vyprvpn, etc. Also, can change using the command prompt, open CMD >type ipconfig it lists your IPv4 and IPv6 address along with subnet mask etc. now run “ipconfig /release”  next enter “ipconfig /renew” commands. Now you can see your IP was changed. Note run CMD as admin.
