Each month, all of us quickly learn that we have exceeded the monthly

It'll based on the IP address assigned to your router by ISP. Powering off
and on the router might force it get a new IP, but probably not.


He can probably get a new IP by changing the MAC address of the device
that connects to the cable/dsl modem, then rebooting that device.

Best bet is for each of you to get your own VPN. There are plenty available
for free.


+1 on the VPN.
