How to Change My IP Address on a Public Network?
When using your mobile data:
Enable Airplane Mode:
Enable Airplane Mode:
Activating airplane mode on your device temporarily disconnects all wireless connections, including mobile data.
Wait a few seconds:
Allow the device to completely disconnect from the network.
Disable Airplane Mode:
Turning airplane mode off will reconnect your device to the nearest cellular tower, which might result in a change of your public IP address.
When using public Wi-Fi:
Switch to a different public Wi-Fi or use a VPN:
Switch to another public Wi-Fi network:
If available, try connecting to another public Wi-Fi. This usually provides a different IP address.
Use a VPN service:
Install and use a reliable VPN service to effectively change your IP address and enhance network security. VPNs route your internet traffic through their servers, providing you with an IP address from a different geographical location.
Use mobile data:
If the public Wi-Fi network is unreliable or insecure, you can turn off Wi-Fi and use your mobile data instead. This usually provides a different IP address than Wi-Fi.
