Is Using a Fake ISP IP Safe? What Are the Risks? or Can You Actually Get a Fake ISP IP Without Gettin

OP here—thanks for all the replies!

Didn’t realize how risky Fake ISP IPs could be. Sounds like VPNs are the way to go.

Quick Q tho: anyone know if free VPNs are safe? Or should I just cough up the cash for a paid one?

Also, *wild* how many sites detect this stuff now. Guess the cat’s outta the bag on IP masking.
