How to get a Netherlands IP address

Here are several options you have to change your IP to a Dutch IP address:

1. Use web proxies

Web proxies are the most simple way to change your IP address. The main advantage of a web proxy is the fact that you don’t have to install anything. Just visit the proxy, type in the desired URL and press the Go or Submit button. The site will be loaded from the IP of the proxy, not from your IP address.

For changing your IP address to a Netherlands IP I recommend the following proxies:

• Hide.me
• Change IP Country (cIPC)

2. Manually change your IP using paid or open proxies

Another solution is to manually change your IP. Go to sites that list proxies (e.g. SamAir.ru), find a proxy from the Netherlands and then change your browser’s settings to use that proxy. Further, take for example 130.37.198.244:3128 and configure your browser to use it when you connect to the internet.

Moreover, if you are willing to spend some money on it you can try the paid proxies offered by http://nntime.com/

To sum up, there are several options when you need to change your IP address to one from the Netherlands but, for the moment the best solution is by using web proxies.

Tor is one of the top technologies when it comes to anonymity. Due to its architecture, Tor provides (almost) total privacy. And the best thing is that it’s free! Not only by individual users but also by third-party tools. Torfox is one of these applications that use Tor to provide anonymous browsing.

Torfox is, as described on the home site, a simple secure portable open source browser based on The Tor Project and Mozilla Foundation technologies. In short: an anonymous browser which allows users to browse web pages hiding their IP address and other parameters which may be used to identify user data.

The installation is very simple: go to Tor fox site, download the file (.exe, .zip or .sha1), install it and you are ready to browse anonymously. Below are screenshots of this nice hide IP tool.

Pros and Cons of Torfox

Torfox has the same pros and cons as Tor has plus several more:

Pros

• It’s free!
• It does change your IP address.
• Very easy to use.
• Familiar look as it is based on Firefox.
• Can be also downloaded as a ZIP file and extracted to a USB drive for a portable version that works anywhere without installation.

Cons

• Quite slow.
• You can’t choose the location (country) of the IP address.

Conclusion

This anonymous browser looks like a tool that still needs some work done and it will probably be fully functional after a few more months. But, as it is free and it comes from a reliable source, it worth trying.

Have you downloaded it and used it? What do you think of it?
