Yo, VPNs are the way to go for changing your phone IP address. I use ProtonVPN, and it’s been solid. Just download, connect, and your IP changes instantly.
If you’re looking for free options, check out Windscribe. They have a free plan with limited data, but it’s good enough for basic stuff.
Also, restarting your router *might* give you a new IP, but it’s not reliable. For mobile data, toggling airplane mode can sometimes work.
Hope this helps!

Wow, thanks so much for all the replies, everyone! I didn’t expect so many helpful tips. I ended up trying NordVPN like a few of you suggested, and it worked like a charm. Super easy to use, and I feel way more secure now.
I also tried the airplane mode trick for mobile data, and it actually gave me a new IP! So cool.
Quick question though—do VPNs slow down your internet speed? I noticed a slight lag when I was streaming. Is that normal, or did I just pick a bad server?
Thanks again, you guys are awesome! 🙌
