How do I modify my IP adress?
I’m obviously not an expert in the field.
I’d like to know if there’s a way to edit IP adresses so to be ‘protected’ whilst connecting to the web via a PUBLIC / PRIVATE but unprotected WiFi.
Appearantly I’ve just got a signal ( quite strong it seems) and was tapped in to it automatically.
I assume it is a private WiFi ( as in individual and not belonging to a company ) . Possibly a network here in the neighbourhood.

What you want to do is hide your computer from web?
If ‘Yes’ then what you are looking for is not changing your IP but firewall. IP will be auto-assigned by most of the wifi routers.
I think you are looking to browse anonymously. Try a proxy site like www.hidemyass.com
I tink that’s the site…

A paid but awesome alternative to using the browser proxy is Proxifier http://tinyurl.com/c72qe5 which will take your socks tunnel you made with a shell account and proxy ALL connections (i.e. including dns lookups) via the tunnel. This will encrypt all traffic including other programs outside the browser (i.e. chat programs). If you’re going to be permanently on an insecure wifi connection, this is your best option.
Well if you want to get all technical. ;)
@saservp Don’t use tinyURL. just read the Fluther Guide to learn how to make links like that one right…..............................................^ there.
@XOIIO thanks, I hate tinyurl anyways ;)
You can use proxy server..:-)
