If you are using Opera you should know there are several ways to hide your IP address:

1. Web proxies

This is the simplest way to hide your IP for any browser you use (including Opera). A web proxy is basically a site that works as an intermediate between you and the site you want to see/access. The key point is that the site you access does not see your IP as the calling source, but the web proxy.

You can find a lot of web proxies on sites like proxy.org. What you have to do is to access such a proxy, type in your desired URL and press Go/Submit. To be sure that it does change your IP, you can first type www.whatismyipaddress.com and see the IP and location of the proxy.

Usually, web proxies are used to unblock sites like YouTube, Facebook, MySpace, but they are also useful for posting on forums or other such activities.

The main disadvantage of web proxies is that they have a short life and get banned, so you have to permanently look for fresh proxies. 

Here are some old posts that list web proxies:

• 10 Dutch Web Proxies
• Another 35+ Proxies to Unblock Restricted Sites
• East European Proxies
• 25 New Proxies To Unblock MySpace, Facebook, YouTube
• French Web Proxies
• 25+ Proxies to Unblock Facebook
• Free Proxy Sites from Germany
• 100+ Unblock MySpace Proxies - Free For All

2. Use open proxies

There are a lot of sites that list open proxies you can use to hide your IP. An open proxy is proxy with an address xx.xx.xx.xx:port that can be used as an intermediate between you and the site you want to see (the same mechanism as for web proxies).

What you have to do is to go to site like SamAir.ru, choose a proxy and then setup up your browser (Opera) to use that proxy. Here is what you have to do.

3. OperaTor

You can try using OperaTor, a bundle that combines Opera browser, Tor and Privoxy. OperaTor will not only hide your IP, but also will leave no tracks about your onlines activities (as every browser does).

4. Use hide ip software

There are a lot of hide ip software on the market. The main advantage of such software is they make it easier. You don’t have you look for new and working (web) proxies and configure your browser. They do these tasks for you. If you are interested to try, you can take a look to our recommended list of read other post I published on such softwares:

• UltraSurf - Ultra Easy To Hide Your IP
• Browse With US IP Address Using IP Privacy
• GPass: A Free Solution To Hide Your IP
• How To Hide Your IP Using Invisible Browsing

Important! Most of these products automatically change settings for IE and Firefox. For Opera, it may be necessary to make some more settings.

Happy Surfing!
