If you’re a frequent target of DDoS attacks, you can ask for a “dynamic IP,” which changes your IP address on a regular schedule. However, many ISPs don’t allow consumer-level users to hold a dynamic IP and it often is not effective against a determined attacker. Additionally, a dynamic IP may lead to technical difficulties with your chosen streaming site if you’re a regular game streamer.
good luck
