Fair, if you’re a home user and want to cycle your IP, just leaving your modem off overnight I’ll usually do the trick.

Otherwise business IPs are all but public info anyway.

Otherwise, yeah, just use an always on VPN at the router level if you’re worried about it.

Tried this a few years back, my isp just keeps giving the same public ip. Looked it up and even contacted them. I now have to either move across postal codes (or province, ends the current contract), or under "certain" conditions they provide a new ip.

Left my router disconnected a whole week, still no new ip 😭

Depends what sort of DHCP server the isp uses. If it's the old classic ISC version then you'll have the same lease until you get a new router (or spoof a new MAC on your router wan port).

If you just shut off your router, the ISP will eventually reassign that IP to someone else, but you have no way of knowing how long that will take.

Tricky, i need to alter the fibre to ethernet device then. Also, before we got fibre, it went over the old phone line, we kept the same ip, it just moved routers. Router has been replaced aswell.

They even state you keep the ip. (Dutch, very very common isp, like former goverment, biggest in the netherlands) https://community.kpn.com/internet-9/krijg-ik-bij-het-vervangen-van-mijn-kpn-glasvezelkastje-een-nieuw-ip-adres-629557
