Fake IP & MAC with a router for all your devices
Faking your IP means replacing your real IP with another (usually a clean proxy IP) to stay anonymous and avoid linking; faking the MAC means spoofing the device's hardware address. RouterSocks5 does both at the router: it routes all traffic through a SOCKS5/5G proxy and spoofs the entire MAC to codes from major router brands — then broadcasts over Wi-Fi + LAN to every device, with nothing to install per machine.
Faking IP in software vs at the router
Proxy software only changes the IP for that one app and leaves WebRTC, DNS and time-zone leaks. Faking the IP at the router covers the whole device, aligns DNS to the proxy's ISP, supports WebRTC over the proxy and blocks leak channels — far tighter.
Why fake the MAC?
The MAC is a hardware fingerprint. Many platforms and local networks use it to recognise repeat devices. RouterSocks5 changes the MAC to millions of codes from major router vendors, making each connection look like a fresh, legitimate device.
Blocking leaks: LAN scan, tracert, DNS
Beyond IP/MAC, the router blocks gateway scans of your internal LAN, blocks tracert (hiding the packet path) and routes primary DNS through the proxy's ISP — sealing gaps that changing IP alone can't.
Frequently asked questions
- Is faking your IP legal?
- Using a proxy to change your IP is legal for purposes like privacy, testing and legitimate multi-account management. You remain responsible for complying with each platform's terms.
- How is router IP-faking different from a VPN?
- VPNs usually use easily-flagged datacenter IPs applied to the whole machine. The RouterSocks5 router uses clean 5G/SOCKS5 proxy IPs, also fakes the MAC, syncs DNS/time zone and serves many devices.
- Do I need software on each device?
- No. Any device joining the router's Wi-Fi/LAN automatically uses the faked proxy IP.
- Which vendor MACs can it spoof?
- To MAC codes from all major router vendors, randomised or customised per connection.
