I am on SKY and need to change my IP address. I don't know how to do this. Someone at the monthly dominos games at the pub last night said unplug your sky modem box at the wall over night and do something with ipconfig to release in a command box. I don't understand the latter, I can do the former, just turn it off. I doubt that this would give me another countries IP address though?

Someone else mentioned a programme that you click a button and it automatically changed your IP address, I am trying to access content in the USA and it says 'not available in your location'. So I need an American IP address. I can BUY a service for £4.99 a month but the downside is it is £4.99 a month, so that won't be happening.

Can anyone help?


Unplugging the box may (or may not) get you a new external IP address. But only another sky UK one.

Ipconfig /release will make your PC give up its local address and (maybe) pick up a different one when you reconnect to your router. But that's only the IP address that's internal to your house, it's not what the internet sees.

So, to summarise: pub expert is not an actual expert.

I love it when people with a little knowledge try to do techie stuff. It's rather amusing.

I'd suggest not messing about trying to get a new IP address, as all that will happen is you'll be issued another IP address from the Sky pool. You'd be better off using a VPN to the USA. There are plenty around although it may result in a very low connection performance. Ultimately though as others have said you'd be better off attempting to get the same content via another method such as Kodi etc.

This. You can also try using Tor and hope for an American exit node.

Or just configure it to use an American node.

Does anybody here use tor a lot?

Harder to do on PC. Easier on Orbot (android TOR).

Tor is good for political debates and videos.
