Ultimate IP Changer is a Windows program that makes it simple to change your IP address fast.

If you’ve ever needed to change your IP address, Ultimate IP Changer is a great program to have in your toolbox. It lets you do that fast and easily and without rebooting your computer. There’s a number of reasons you may need to change your IP, including improved privacy and security as well as when you need to use a machine across networks or have to switch IP parameters.

In addition to the IP address itself, supported parameters include subnet mask, gateway, DNS and proxy. Changes these values isn’t a matter of just changing one detail at a time; although you can do that. The program supports profiles, which you can give unique names. Each profile can encompass a completely unique configuration. Once a profile is created, swapping to takes just a button click, and better yet, you can switch back and forth between profiles without limitation.

Whenever you run Ultimate IP Changer, it will quickly scan your current environment and provide information about your machine and the network you’re connected to. Whenever you make a change, such as switching a profile, that information is updated in real-time.

Ultimate IP Changer is also able to supported multiple network adapters in a single PC. This includes both fixed and wireless. This is somewhat of a niche feature set, but it’s incredibly useful if you’re in that niche since many other programs like this don’t support it. The app has an always on top setting for easy access. It also fully supports Windows 7 and everything as far back as Windows 2000. It doesn’t officially support Windows 10, and it’s unclear if that support will come. Nevertheless, it’s built with the .NET Framework, so it’s essentially support, and you can use compatibility mode for good measure.

Ultimate IP Change is a useful program, and we’d recommend it to anyone that has the need. Unfortunately, the program installs MyStart and IncrediBar by default. You can opt out and probably should, but the fact that you have to opt out rather than opt in is a negative in our book.
