I'm not gonna disagree with you that the best way to stay secret
is to turn off the computer, and rip down my WISP WiFi antenna.

But, there must be a more graceful way to change IP addresses 
than to have to choose from a half dozen or more public VPN 
services.

One way I know of, but it's immoral, is to glom off any of my 
neighbors who don't use high encryption on their home broadband
routers, but that's not something I would ever do.

Likewise, I can travel to a coffeeshop or library, which works, 
but, that's a bit of effort for privacy (and it has its own
inherencies to it, such as the inevitable cameras and the 
fact you're now doing something in a public place, so you're
even less protected than you were at home).

Since our WiFi radios can connect at 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz with
radios 15 miles away, I could also aim my dish at an unsuspecting
transceiver but, even if I were to skip the moral implications, 
I'd still need to figure out how to connect to their network, 
as usually there are authentication issues like being on the 
same subnet even if there is no login/password challenge.

Of course, since my radio is the powerful one, and currently 
I'm connected to an even more powerful radio than mine is, 
the problem is that I'd be connecting to a far weaker radio
in this case.

Since I'd be connecting to a far weaker radio (e.g., it might 
be someone's puny home broadband router two or three miles away), 
the antenna is all that really matters, and the receiver sensitivity, 
both of which are pretty good in my case (and I can get better).

But, glomming onto someone else's unprotected broadband router
isn't my way, so, I'm trying to change my IP address, from home, 
a legitimate way.

The *only* way I can think of (besides changing ISPs every few 
weeks or so) is to switch to public vpn servers.

But, I can't be such a genius that I figure out, on the first 
pass, the only way something as common as wanting to change your
IP address is.
