I posted some comments on a Utah website and said that Masonic temple rites are similar to Mormon temple rites. That earned me an IP address ban. It makes me mad because they are suppressing freedom of speech from people with different opinions than theirs. Anyway, I was wondering if there is a way around the IP block? Are there programs that change your IP address? If so are they legal? (I know pedophiles and other online predators would like this type of software too I am sure)

This is a little off the subject, but telling mormons what they don't want to know is "persecuting' them, and so while they cannot wish you away, they'll do everything in their power to stop your 'missionary' effort.
The church has a strong culture of 'follow the leaders', 'obey the prophet (unless it's against the law", and absolutely NO discussion counter to the lesson manual.
Your story, sadly, is not uncommon. Mormons tend to only honor 'preaching to the choir' when it's their own choir, but have no problem with missionaries telling you how wrong your life is.
Anyways, I'll have to take some of the above advice myself..

This is the problem with the Constitution. See it automatically assumes that if your smart enough to understand your Constitutional Rights as having the Freedom of Speech, then you would know where ever you are allowed - you may express yourself Freely.
One of the most common places to take advantage of your Right to Freedom of speech is in a Library. However you can not speak Freely it must be in book form.
Now my question to you is... If you know this type of information would be valuable to " Pedophiles and other online Predators" Why would you pose this question knowing someone wouldn't think twice about giving you an answer?
I see your getting upset now and posting negative comments all over. Don't be upset Edward V, The reason I asked you that is because. There was a lady out posting comments on other websites for HELP. Her daughter was missing. I helped her post her information as well. It was all over the news. Well they found her daughter. 6 months later DEAD.

A website does not have to allow you to say what you like - it is not a violation of your freedom of speech. Websites (for the most part) are privately owned. You are a guest and can be shown the door at any time - just as if you were in someone's living room.
If you have a dynamic IP address from your service provider a reconnect should provide a new one - if your IP address is static - it's static.

it is not *unlawful* - via fact it is not attainable. it fairly is like giving somebody a mailing handle it is not yours, then anticipating them to deliver you mail. Your IP handle is the handle to which the documents you request gets sent. in case you conceal your IP handle, or use one it is not yours, you're no longer on the cyber web.

your ISP controls your IP (time warner, cox, etc etc). even if you have a router and can change your inner IP, your routing IP remains the same. most ISPs offer a static IP at an extra charge, meaning unless you pay for the same IP it is going to eventually change, even if that happens they may have blocked you by other means (MAC addy, or in extreme cases theyll knock your whole subnet, but ive only seen that once....and it was ridiculous)

Trolling other people isn't cool. :/ Just saying.
Sites like hidemyass.com are quite useful. There's a whole bunch of them. You could also buy a broadband service with alternating IPs.

click start, run and type cmd in the run box a window will pop up with a black background. now type ipconfig /release and press enter
now type ipconfig /renew and press enter
this will do exactly what you are asking, however I don't think this will solve your problem. If you want to visit the site again you will want to use a web based proxy server service like: https://webproxy.kaxy.com/index.php
However, I would use something like TOR http://tor.eff.org/
This you can turn on as needed on your local system. It's free.

I agree with the person who said move.....Glad I am not in Utah. You can unplug the modem, and re-boot. I did it once, and it will change the IP address.

Generally if you leave your modem unplugged for the night, (maybe your comp and router too) you should get a new one when you plug it back in, in the morning.

unplug your modem... (from the wall outlet) and then plug it back in... you may have to reboot your computer... this should gain you a new IP address
and if you really feel your 1st amendment rights are being violated (its the internet, I suggest getting over it) contact a lawyer
