IP address

Someone can immediately begin attacking your computer!

Your IP Address is 127.0.0.1 and we are haxing your computer now. Not even pressing Alt+F4 will save you now, noob.

With your IP, someone can HACK YOUR SHIT, KILL YOUR Parents, KILL YOUR FIRSTBORN SON, BUTTRAPE YOUR DAUGHTERS, SLAUGHTER EVERYONE IN YOUR AREA, AND KILL YOUR God AND YOUR DOG.

Proxies are the standard way of hiding your IP address from oppressive governmental regimes.

Why would you change your IP?

It's useful if:

1. You are a pedophile looking for an IP that hasn't been banned yet because of CP posting.
2. You are planning to create a giant sock puppet farm in order to overturn Wikipedia ad majorem EDi gloriam.
3. You were such a n00b in a forum and you annoyed the admins so much that they banned you.
4. You want to raid a forum of n00bs but you failed to hire some /b/tards as they are not your personal army.
5. You got humiliated and pwned by a powerful troll and you try to get a new identity.
6. You are a hacker sought by the police.
7. You were interrupted in a NO U war and you don't want to become a luser.

How to change your IP #7

Move to Germany and get your Internets from a german ISP. They automatically change your IP every 24 hours preferably while you're playing Black Ops 2, forcing you to lose the connection. Unfortunately, the german Government can legally view your porn traffic under the clever guise of finding Pedophiles, so you'll still need a Proxy.
