You can change the IP address of pretty much any device you use to connect to the internet. For most people, this is going to mean a smartphone or a laptop computer, but tablets and desktops can do this as well. The thing that makes iOS, Mac, Android, and Windows devices great is that they come with VPN clients, which means that you can set up a new IP in only a few minutes, with zero technical experience. For people who want a Slovakian IP address on their phone or computer, using a type of IP changing software called a virtual private network can give you a Slovakian identity on the internet and get you access to websites only available in Slovakia.

People actually from Slovakia are probably going to know best what sites are blocked outside the country - but this is not a problem unique to Slovakia. Many businesses such as TV and movie streaming sites are bound by contract agreements saying who can and can't view the online content. Having a Slovakian IP, regardless of your true location in the world means that no one can restrict the content you view, even if sites are set up to block non-local IP addresses.

Some sites, especially those with web servers located in Slovakia will also run slower outside the country. Distance matters ,and the further away you are from the web server you want to access, the longer it takes to respond. Unless you're on a totally new machine, you're bound to experience some lag. Using a Slovakian VPN server as a connection point to Slovakian internet space can provide you with quicker connections to local sites.

This type of identity change online can also keep your information private while you surf and download from the internet. You might not need access to Slovakian sites. It's perfectly possible that you just want a private IP address that your local government doesn't have restriction over. By choosing a foreign VPN service with servers in a country of your choice, you prevent the many avenues that public and private organizations are able to use to trace your online activity.

If you want a Slovakian IP address on your phone or computer, I would suggest using PPTP VPN. This type of VPN can be used on iOS, Mac, Android, Linux, and Windows systems. It's easy to install, and runs fast. If you want to add better encryption to your phone, then you can use L2TP, and if you want great encryption for Mac, Linux, or Windows, then you can use OpenVPN. It uses SSL encryption to encrypt your data and then tunnels it through the "OpenVPN" tunnel.
