Some 8-9 years back, when I was a completely novice regarding internet in any possible mean, a friend of mine gave me a CD with a "very special program" as he said. It was a small program, which enabled the user to get any desired IP from anywhere in the world...even in a second tact. You know what this mean? That program just assigned another IP to my PC each and every second and if you would be on to trace me, you could think that I am on a different corner of this planet every other minute. 
"Unfortunately", back then my PC was pretty slow, some 800 mhz Intel processor and 64 mb DDRAM main storage...so you can imagine that this program just took almost all free resources and I had to dismiss it.
There are some free and very good programms on the net avaliable now...if any of you just feel scared that your pc might be monitored 
I totaly agree that everyone using multiple "personalities" here on this forum should be baned...forever. !!! So well done here!
with respect

I find the IP changer concept very interesting but it raises more questions.
1. Static IPs handed out by any ISP must belong to them. Therefore, even if you keep switching IPs wouldn't the lookup not point back to the owner of the IP block?
2. If you use a 3rd party company beyond your ISP, then wouldn't the IPs belong to that company(3rd party)?
3. Most ISPs are now using DHCP for customer IPs, this means the server hands you an IP for a leased period of time. ie maybe a week After that period, the server will issue another IP from its pool for another leased period of time?
