You can get a Danish IP address on your phone or computer no matter where you are in the world. An IP address from Denmark can get you access to Denmark-Only websites. I don't know much about the internet in Denmark, but I do know quite a bit about geo-restriction and the software that you need to unblock these so-called geo-restricted sites. It's called a VPN.
There are a few types of programs you can use to change your IP address, and even some way to change your IP address manually. However, none compare to the convenience and reliability of VPNs.
Easy To Use Software
There are plenty of tutorials that you can find on the internet that will teach you how to change your IP address. However, none can show you how to get a 'fake' or 'anonymous' IP address manually. That's because no matter how many times you change your IP, it's still connected to your personal online activity. It still reflects your real location in the online world. In addition to this fact, many of these tutorials only work for some users, in some situations. Many times you'll find confused comments below saying that they could get it to work. Actually, I've found that many of these so called tutorials are incomplete copy-versions from other users online. It's clear that the blogger didn't really understand what they read, but wanted to make a similar post to get traffic to his site. Unfortunately, the reader suffers.
VPNs are easy to install and easy to use, which takes out any kind of confusing technical jargon.
Reliability
Lots of users like to use proxies to change their IP address. In fact, you can use proxies to get a Danish IP address on your phone and computer pretty much like a VPN. The problem with proxies is that you can never be sure of who the owner is. Though there are some reputable proxy sites that you can trust, the ones that I'm familiar with don't allow you to choose your IP. For a kind of proxy that allows you to choose the IP location of the proxy, you need to use what's called an 'open proxy'. This is a proxy that is free for all to use. As you can imagine, the motives of the proxy owner are unclear, and you may be risking your personal data by signing into a Danish proxy.
Multi Purpose Tool
Sure, VPNs are a great way to get a Danish IP address, but they have more uses than that. They can be use to change the IP address of all apps and programs on your computer. This means games that you play online will look like you're in Denmark. When you Skype someone, it'll look like you're calling from Denmark. Any other websites and users that you interact with will see that you're located - you guessed it - in Denmark.
VPNs are also used as a privacy and security tool for browsing and downloading. By using the VPN provided IP address, you hide your real IP. This is a kind of 'disguise' for the internet, protecting your personal data on public wifi, and keeping your personal data out of the hands of the government and private advertisers.
You don't have to be a privacy-freak or worry about getting hacked though. Many VPN users just want to enjoy streaming Danish TV abroad, or access other Denmark-Only websites. This is a common use for VPNs, and users looking to access other countries restricted content can use VPNs in the same way. You can use a VPN to change your IP on Android, iOS, Mac, Windows, and even Linux operating systems.
