Hi, I am running a small VPN service and we would like to help Chinese users to exercise and maintain Internet freedom. We can offer them our VPN services as is, but the Chinese government eventually locks on to their IP address and blocks their ISP access to that IP address. So I would like to know if there is a way to rotate a poole of IP addresses on a VPN server so that each time a user logs into one of our servers they are given a different IP address so the user is harder track?

Thanks for your advice.

Mostly your problem is you can't offer something you do not own and control. If you have pools of IP already it is fairly easy to rotate them. The problem is if you own them they are registered in one of the official registries so it is not too hard look you up and block all them. This is how they kill off all the official VPN sites.

Now if you do not own addresses then there is no reliable way to even be sure you can different ones. You would have to be using a ISP that you can even get different IP and find some way to abuse that mechanism. If you do it too much though they will just block the whole subnet you are getting your addresses from.

If this was a business or web site you could likely find a way to get around...
