Windows 7 provides several methods for hiding your IP address. One is to use the Network Connections window in Windows 7 and select “Change Adapter Settings” to view the list of network adapters and select “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)”. Then use the “IP address” property on the selected adapter to set the IP address to “None” or “0.0.

0.0”. .

You can also use the Registry Editor to hide your IP address. To do this, open the Registry Editor by clicking the “Start” button, typing “regedit” in the search box, and clicking the “Registry” result that appears.

Then use the “Edit” menu item to select the “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE” key, and use the “New” menu item to create a new key named “NetworkInterface”. The “NetworkInterface” key should have the following values:.

“Description”=”Local Area Connection”
“Enabled”=dword:00000000
“LinkStatus”=”Up”
“Name”=”Local Area Connection”
“PNPID”=dword:00000001
“Status”=”Auto”
“Type”=”Physical”
“VendorID”=dword:00000002
“InterfaceClass”=dword:00000012
“Protocol”=dword:00000001
“Address”=dword:00000000

To hide your IP address using this key, set the “Enabled” property to “dword:00000000”. Then set the “LinkStatus” property to “dword:00000000” and the “Name” property to “Local Area Connection”.

Finally, set the “PNPID” property to “dword:00000001” and the “Status” property to “Auto”.

Then use the “Edit” menu item to select the “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE” key, and use the “New” menu item to create a new key named “System”. The “System” key should have the following values:.

“HardwareId”=dword:00000000
“Manufacturer”=dword:00000002
“Product”=dword:00000002
“SerialNumber”=dword:00000003
“Version”=dword:00000003

To hide your IP address using this key, set the “HardwareId” property to “dword:00000000” and the “Manufacturer” property to “dword:00000002”. Then set the “Product” property to “dword:00000002” and the “SerialNumber” property to “dword:00000003”.

Finally, set the “Version” property to “dword:00000003”.

Both of these methods of hiding your IP address work with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7.
