Try tor to create random ip addresses for free...this is the software
recommended by the EFF for anonymity online.

Tor: Overview

Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to
improve their privacy and security on the Internet. It also enables
software developers to create new communication tools with built-in
privacy features. Tor provides the foundation for a range of
applications that allow organizations and individuals to share
information over public networks without compromising their privacy.

Individuals use Tor to keep websites from tracking them and their
family members, or to connect to news sites, instant messaging
services, or the like when these are blocked by their local Internet
providers. Tor's hidden services let users publish web sites and other
services without needing to reveal the location of the site.
Individuals also use Tor for socially sensitive communication: chat
rooms and web forums for rape and abuse survivors, or people with
illnesses.

Journalists use Tor to communicate more safely with whistleblowers and
dissidents. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) use Tor to allow
their workers to connect to their home website while they're in a
foreign country, without notifying everybody nearby that they're
working with that organization.

Groups such as Indymedia recommend Tor for safeguarding their members'
online privacy and security. Activist groups like the Electronic
Frontier Foundation (EFF) are supporting Tor's development as a
mechanism for maintaining civil liberties online. Corporations use Tor
as a safe way to conduct competitive analysis, and to protect
sensitive procurement patterns from eavesdroppers. They also use it to
replace traditional VPNs, which reveal the exact amount and timing of
communication. Which locations have employees working late? Which
locations have employees consulting job-hunting websites? Which
research divisions are communicating with the company's patent
lawyers?

A branch of the U.S. Navy uses Tor for open source intelligence
gathering, and one of its teams used Tor while deployed in the Middle
East recently. Law enforcement uses Tor for visiting or surveilling
web sites without leaving government IP addresses in their web logs,
and for security during sting operations.

The variety of people who use Tor is actually part of what makes it so
secure. Tor hides you among the other users on the network, so the
more populous and diverse the user base for Tor is, the more your
anonymity will be protected.
