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.
