Session ID works to provide you the same IP address for a specified time. At times, you may need to change the IP by yourself before the session time expires. This can be done by changing the session ID on your browser extension.

To Change the Session ID, please follow these steps:

  1. Go to the browser where you configured the extension and click on the extension icon.
