No I didn't... Thought your ISP gave it to you... and even ipconfig release/renew you still ended up with the same IP at your modem... I'm not computer science guy or anything I'm in construction that's just how it works in my head lol give me an education! :)
Your ISP DOES determine your IP address, that's true, but there's two easy ways to change it quickly. One is to unplug your modem for 5 to 10 minutes. Most ISPs will reallocate the IP address you had previously to a different client in that timeperiod, and then you can, in exchange get a new IP. This doesn't always work. The other way you can do this, is by going into your router settings, and hitting "clone mac address," prior to doing which will make it duplicate the MAC of some other chump on your ISPs network. Combine this with an ipconfig /release /renew, and you will end up with a new address.

Option 1 with IP permaban for mods who need to be removed. Make 'em buy a VPN to get back on.

you DO realize it takes less than 5 minutes to permanently change your IP without a VPN, right?
