Quick note, changing your IP address likely doesn't work as you think it does. Your computer's IP falls under one of two scenarios:
1. you are connected to a router or other device that is performing NAT, so while you could change your internal NAT IP and likely will not run into issues, the external IP that others see (such as websites) when you view them will not change. If you change your IP to something outside of the NAT range, then you will be unable to receive packets back from the internet (so everything will effectively "time out")
2. you are directly connected to something that issues you a lease for an external IP. Chances are, you will be unable to change this IP by setting up a static configuration without things breaking (aka stuff being unable to get back to you because the router likely isn't configured to allow IP configurations to be determined by the end user).

Either way, changing your IP will almost certainly not have the effect you are looking for, and those who actually are able to change their IP and have the mindset to probably already know how to do so via the network adapter settings anyway.

Just my two cents.
