    I can access any website from my laptop except one. When I try to login it says "403 forbidden access." How can I fix this so that I can login?

    If this is someone else's website, that is their issue. A 403 error means you are not allowed to view the folder's contents. If it is your server, you can change the .htaccess files to allow viewing of a folder. Typically index.html or home.html automatically load at the root of the website, and you typically don't have to type them out if it is in a folder.

    You can, and it's very easy. All you need to do is download a VPN. Run the app or program, and it will change your IP to one wherever the VPN server is located. However, this will not make you completely invisible or untraceable.

    There is no real inherent danger in having your public IP address known. Think of it like your real address; someone may know it, but your home is still secure. Your public IP address allows websites and other devices to send data to your network.

    Typically it will be marked on your wireless card or on the bottom of the unit, if you've got a laptop. If not, manufacturers also put it on the box alongside the serial number and UPC.

    You can try a VPN to change your IP Address for secure browsing. It depends really what package you have with your ISP. There are 2 types of IP's. The most common is dynamic IP's, which change every time you restart your router. The second is your static IP address, which always stays the same. Contact your ISP for more information about static and dynamic choices.
