In this article, I will show how to hide/change your IP Address from Instant Messengers to ensure your privacy. In this tutorial I am using Skype as an example, you can use any supported Instant Messenger(Yahoo, Live etc).
Connect to Proxy Service:
1. I have used TOR's SOCKS5 proxy, so open up the TOR (click here to download) and connect to the TOR network;
Setting up the Skype:
1. Open up the Skype and click Tools and the Select Options;
2. Then navigate to Advanced, and select Connections, now in the proxy tab select SOCKS5 and enter 127.0.0.1 in the host field and 8118 in the port, after all click Save and you are done.
This tweak can be done with any instant messenger which supports SOCKS5 proxy.
