An IP address can also be changed automatically when it is dynamic. There are different ways of changing the IP address; you can use a VPN, proxy, or a Tor Browser. When using a VPN to change your IP address, make sure it is a reliable and trustworthy service like <a href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iProVPN<\/a>. Proxy works well when you have to change your IP address on Android. However, it is not secure like a VPN; it will not encrypt the data, and it just changes the IP address. Tor Browsers change the IP, but only work on the browser and not the other applications. To use Tor, install it from the Google Play Store.
