Restart your router<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>On most home subscriptions the public IP is dynamic. If you turn the router off, wait a few minutes and turn it back on, your ISP may assign a new IP. The waiting time and the result vary by provider; on some subscriptions the IP stays the same for a long time.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Use_a_VPN\"><\/span>2. Use a VPN<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A VPN routes your traffic through another server, so websites see the VPN server&#8217;s IP address instead of yours. It&#8217;s a quick, reversible method.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Switch_to_mobile_data\"><\/span>3. Switch to mobile data<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When you turn off Wi-Fi on your phone and switch to mobile data, you go online with a different IP through your carrier&#8217;s network. Turning airplane mode on and off often gets you a new IP too.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Ask_your_internet_provider\"><\/span>4.
