Pick one to see how it works.
Works with many providers, not all. Some keep your address for days, or give you a fixed one. Then try another way.
Works every time, because it's a different provider. It changes your phone's address, not your home's.
Works every time, on any connection. Some are built in: iCloud Private Relay on iPhone and Mac, or the VPN in some browsers. Then run the VPN check to see if it hides you fully.
Yes. Your address changes on its own all the time, every time you switch networks. Restarting your router, using mobile data or a VPN are all normal.
Most providers lend addresses for a while and then hand out a new one, often after the router restarts or after a few days.
Not the exact number. Some providers sell a fixed address that never changes. With a VPN, you can choose the country.
No. Private mode only forgets your history and cookies when you close it. Websites see the same address.
Many connections have an older IPv4 address and a newer IPv6 one. Changing your connection usually changes both.
