How to Get an Israel IP Address From Anywhere in 2025

Getting an Israeli IP address from abroad isn’t always simple. While proxy services may offer Israeli IPs, they don’t encrypt your traffic, meaning your personal data is still vulnerable to interception. Tools like Tor can sometimes help, but even with advanced configuration, there’s no certainty you’ll get an Israeli IP when you need one.

So, how can you get a secure Israeli IP address from the US or elsewhere? The easiest and most reliable method is to use a VPN with servers in Israel. According to IP2Location, there are over 10,000 VPN IPs registered in Israel¹. When you connect to an Israeli server via VPN, you can safely access local platforms like Mako, KAN 11, Yes TV, or manage tasks like online banking or government logins.

How to Get an Israeli IP With a VPN: 2025 Guide

The most convenient way to get an Israeli IP is with a VPN. A VPN is a simple app that routes your traffic through a secure server, providing you with a new IP address while also encrypting your data.

This means that, on top of being able to access your favorite Israeli content in the best quality from anywhere, you’re also securing your devices against hackers, scammers, and snoops.

While these apps might sound super technical, they’re actually really easy to set up. Here’s how.

1. Choose a VPN

To create an account, simply go to your chosen provider’s website and follow the instructions. I recommend choosing a long-term purchase, as these often offer the best value for your money. Then, enter your payment information, and you’re ready to go.

2. Download and Install the App

After creating your account, you should be taken to a download page so you can start installing the VPN apps on all your devices. Follow the simple on-screen prompts to set it up on your compatible device.

In most cases, the apps will look and behave exactly the same way from your desktop to your smartphone or tablet. So you don’t have to worry about using a whole new app on each device.

Always download the app from your VPN provider’s official website or from the verified app store for your device. Unofficial or “cracked” versions are often old versions that contain security flaws or, even worse — malware.

3. Configure Your VPN

While all of our recommended VPNs come pre-configured, I always recommend taking a look at your settings menu, as it’s a great way to get more familiar with the app.

If you need a little help, though, here are a few specific features to look out for and a quick summary of why they’re essential:

• Protocol. Your app will usually use the default Automatic option, which simply picks the best protocol based on the network and your device. However, you can also set it to a specific option if you have a preference. For example, Lightway and WireGuard are great for streaming Israeli TV, while OpenVPN’s higher security makes it a good option for accessing your bank account.
• Launch/connect on startup. If, like me, you forget to turn your VPN on from time to time, this feature is a lifesaver. These settings allow the VPN to automatically connect to a set server when your device starts up. Some VPNs just connect to the last used server, while others let you set up custom rules around which servers to use.
• Kill switch. This automatically blocks your internet access if the VPN’s connection fails, preventing data leaks. It’s vital if you’re using public WiFi networks as it’ll protect you against snoops intercepting your connection. It’s usually turned on by default, but some VPNs also have an advanced option that prevents you from going online without it connected.
• Malware and ad blockers. Many VPNs now offer ad and malware protection, which you may have to activate manually. Not only does this keep you safe on unfamiliar websites (particularly if Hebrew isn’t your first language), but it’ll also stop you from accidentally clicking on phishing domains.

4. Connect to a Server in Israel

Use the server list to locate an Israeli server. You can either use the search bar or scroll through the menu. Then, simply click on it to connect.

Some VPNs also have an interactive map, so you can choose your location visually if you prefer.

5. Visit Israeli Websites Securely

While connected to your VPN, open your web browser and visit an IP-checking website. It will display your current IP address and location. If the connection is working correctly, you should see an IP address linked to a location in Israel. You can now use Israeli websites and services, including Sdarot TV, Mako TV, Kan 11, and more.

Other Ways to Get an Israeli IP Address

While VPNs are commonly used to obtain an Israeli IP address, there are alternative methods depending on your needs and circumstances. These methods offer varying levels of privacy, speed, and ease of use.

• Proxy. Proxies change your IP address like a VPN, so they potentially let you access a variety of Israeli content lag-free from anywhere. However, unlike VPNs, they don’t encrypt your data, which means they can compromise your security. Plus, a lot of networks block the use of proxies, while VPNs can still work on restrictive networks.
• Tor Browser. Tor is a standalone browser that enables anonymous communication. The browser routes your traffic through multiple nodes, disguising your original IP. While this method increases your online anonymity, it typically results in slower speeds. Also, while hiding your real IP, it’s unlikely to give you an Israeli one. It can also cause suspicion since Tor can be used to access the dark web. And Tor doesn't encrypt your data end to end like a premium VPN does.
• Smart DNS services. A Smart DNS service allows you to route requests through private DNS servers. This is particularly useful for accessing Israeli TV with no buffering from anywhere, as it can hide your requests from your ISP. However, this doesn’t actually give you an Israel IP or encrypt your data, so it’s not as reliable as using a VPN.

Can Free VPNs Provide an Israel IP Address?

It’s highly unlikely that free VPNs can give you an Israeli IP address. Most of them have very limited server availability. Even if you can find a VPN with an Israeli server, most of them have limited speeds and data. Some free VPNs are even worse — selling user data to the highest bidder and even infecting user devices with malware.

It’s far better to use a premium VPN with a money-back guarantee or take a look at some reliable VPNs with free trials.

FAQs on Getting an Israel IP Address With a VPN

How can I test if my IP address has changed to Israel?

Use an online IP checker. Open your VPN and connect to an Israeli server. Next, go to a site that detects your IP (e.g., vpnMentor’s IP checker) and let the tool run. If it shows your location to be in Israel and the VPN IP is showing, you’ve successfully changed your IP address.

Is using a VPN to get an Israel IP address legal?

Most countries allow VPNs, so yes. Just download your VPN, connect to a server in Israel, and you can securely use the internet with an Israel IP address.

Keep in mind some countries (like Russia, China, and Belarus) restrict or ban VPN use. Make sure you're aware of the regulations regarding VPN use in any country you visit to avoid accidentally breaking any laws.
