Subscribe to a VPN service. That is undetectable by web sites. It is not 100% private though, but you will appear to web sites that you are coming from the VPN end point you have connected to.
A VPN is not totally undetectable but some are better then others. Its possible that the site in question keeps track of VPN endpoints or has tracked you through cookies or browser fingerprinting.
Netflix tracks VPNs.
As far as I know you have no control over the VPN endpoint except for picking the server location. With TOR its totally autonomous.
Good to know - I didn't about the end points being monitored by content providers. I guess renting a server somewhere and setting up your own VPN would get around that possibly, in that it isn't "known". VPNs are certainly not foolproof. There really isn't a 100% perfect privacy solution in this regard.
A website doesn't typically see the IP set on your computer, because normally you connect through a router wich is doing NAT. The router's IP is what the web sees. If you take your PC to a coffee shop, or connect through a hotspot on your phone with wi-fi turned off, then the web will see a different IP.
