    why do you need to change your IP address?

    Was banned from a site unfairly, I can't even contact or appeal.

    You are trying to change your internal ip address on your network, This will not have any effect on your external address, which is provided by your isp, and is what users on an external network (your game server) see. Either way ip addresses are dynamic (unless you are paying lots for a commercial static address) so they change over time. Restarting your router might help, but I'd guess the games server is not using ip address to monitor you, rather some client program.

    So you can change your IP address or you can appeal your ban from an internet cafe.

    Solution :

    1. Use a proxy server. The proxy server is an open gateway between your web destination and you. (“dedicated to bringing you fast web browsing from behind web filters”) Cheers!
