Change IP Address and Clone MAC

I have this Internet setup at home. First, I have an ADSL Modem and Router that was provided by the ISP. This is used for the main Internet connection. And then, I have an Apple Time Capsule (NAS Server) that is used for storage. Now, I have a fixed IP address that I pay extra per month with my ISP.

I would like to have a Dynamic IP address and different MAC address but still keep the Static IP of the main ADSL router. Which MAC address do I need to change? It is of the Router, Time Capsule or Laptop? Is it possible to have a Static IP address and change MAC Address for just my computer?

Is it possible to use a Proxy Server in your browser when paying your ISP for a Static IP? I would like to change the Public IP address when browsing the Internet.

I don't understand what you're actually trying to accomplish here.

There's no point in MAC spoofing on a LAN, at least for what you're looking for.
 
No, I would like to change the IP address and MAC Spoof on the WAN but I have a Static IP with my ISP that I can't change for security reasons. Would it be possible to still change the MAC address and have a Dynamic Public IP address just for my computer?
 
Since your entire LAN shares the same WAN IP address, no. It'd also defeat the purpose of having a static from your ISP.

There's nothing 'security' about a static IP.
 
I mean, I have a NAS Server and Security Cameras installed so therefore it has to use a Fix IP address. Perhaps, is there a way to get around this please?
 
You could use those things with a dynamic IP.

There's no way to do what you want with the equipment and service you have.
 
As beers said, what you want defeats the purpose of a static IP address.

If you want a dynamic IP Address, you'd need to either stop paying for the static IP, or get a second internet circuit at home (which would be redundant and expensive).

Is it possible to use a Free VPN or something similar maybe? There must be an alternative to this.

You can use a VPN, and while remote servers may see a different address at the remote end of the tunnel, that doesn't change your WAN IP.
 
Yes, correct. So, let's say I connect using a Free VPN Channel, the other end should see a different Public and MAC address of mine, am I right?
 
Ok, so I'll use a VPN Channel then. The most important thing is that this particular Website sees a different IP address. Are there other alternatives apart from using a VPN please?

I want to protect myself from a particular website. Is this a good approach?

If you don't want a certain website to see your static IP address, a VPN would be the best solution, but just be aware that means if you ever accidentally go to it without being connected to the VPN, they'd have a log of your IP address.

Same answers as above.
 
Not sure I follow this, but I can make some suggestions as to what I understand. LOL

If you have a dynamic IP address you can use an IP update client with a DNS for your IP address. For example, I use FreeDNS and an update client on a Netbook in the kitchen that is on 24/7. http://freedns.afraid.org/ Now when you want to go to your camera you just enter the domain name which will resolve to your IP address. So this will allow you to have a dynamic IP address.

As to a VPN, I use VPN.AC. I pay 20.40/3 months. They have a pretty good client and encryption schemes to chose from. I would use the OpenVPN ECC or OpenVPN XOR encryption on port 443 to make it look like normal SSL traffic to your ISP. This solution works well in China where everything is regulated. Also, VPN.AC has a Firefox and Chrome proxy addon for subscribers. So only browser traffic goes through the proxy and nothing else. And VPN.AC has an App I use on my phone. Great for free WIFI so no one can sniff my traffic.

Edit- There are two factors that will expose your real IP address. One is that if the VPN provider allows port forwarding it's game over. VPN.AC does not as per my request. They knew about this long ago.

The second is WebRTC. Make sure it is off in your browser and if you use the Thunderbird E-mail client. https://www.browserleaks.com/webrtc#webrtc-disable

To get into about:config in Thunderbird there is a button addon. https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/thunderbird/addon/aboutconfig-buttons/
