Comment:
I think the short answer is: don't worry about making your IP address
change. If you have a fixed residential IP address, just run a snowflake.
If some censors find your IP address and block you, that's fine, there are
other censors that won't block you, so you can still be useful. The model
is based around the idea that snowflakes (individually) do not need to be
hard to block.
And if you set something up so that your IP address ''does'' change, I
don't think that will cause a problem with any other part of the system.
Like cohosh says, each interaction with the broker will use whatever your
current IP address happens to be.
