 <p>You can't change your IP like this. Your code obviously doesn't work, because you've just created a variable of type IPAddress and assigned some value to it. If you want a different IP address that you currently have assigned from your internet provider, you need to use a Proxy or TOR if you can't achieve a change of your IP by restarting your modem. However, it won't obviously allow you to use whatever IP you'd like.</p>
