Enter the desired IP address in the “IPv4 Address” field. You can reuse your current IP address, just change the number in the last part. For example, if the current IP address is “10.0.1.8”, the new address can be changed to “10.0.1.129” or similar.

- Since the proxy server is another temporary network that we need to connect to the Internet, you can apply this method if the current network is down, .

Click to select the protocol under the heading “Select a protocp to configure ”.
- Select “SOCKS Proxy” if you are not sure which protocol to use. The “SOCKS Proxy” protocol is commonly used to route network packets between a client and a server through a proxy. This option is very effective in enhancing the general security and hiding the client address of the applications.
- Web Protocol (HTTP) and Secure Web Protocol (HTTPS) are also widely used but less secure than SOCKS Proxy. [2] X Research Source

Enter the IP address of the desired proxy server in the blank field.
- If using a SOCKS proxy, you need to go to the list of SOCKS proxies at http://sockslist.net/ to select a class 4 or 5 IP address.

Click OK and then select Apply . You will then connect to the specified proxy server.
Disconnect the router/modem

Disconnect the router (router) or modem (modem). Sometimes router and modem are combined 2 in 1 so we only need to disconnect one device. If the router and modem are two separate devices, you can unplug both to reset the IP address.
- Wait a few seconds to a few minutes. Most home networks use dynamic IP addresses. This means that your network service provider will assign you a new IP address each time the router or modem reconnects to the network. [3] X Research Sources

Reconnect the router. Wait for the router to reconnect to the network.

Check the new IP address. You can see it in the “Network” section of “System Preferences.”
- If it still doesn’t work, unplug the modem again and try again in a few hours. [4] X Research Sources
Advice
- If you want to block or hide your IP address, you can consider using a proxy server instead of changing the IP address. Note: using a proxy server can slow down your Internet connection, but this keeps you anonymous without changing your IP address.
