most you can do is use proxy server, but most if not all proxy server keep logs of your activity for x days, you can't really make your ip private.

All IP's in a network are private. Proxy servers can mask your IP address, so when you pull pages from outside servers, the IP address that pops up is the public one of the proxy server.
