Are you wanting to get a US IP address? If so you have no need of VPN and VPS's. Dongle may be your best option if you cannot get the IP address to change.

When you use the term "dongle" are you just referring to a mobile broadband USB modem? Or am I missing something?

I'm asking because I know some mobile broadband providers use Static IP's, right?

That's the one

Mainly for stealth, we do try to suggest picking a dynamic IP from the ISP provider.

If you have a cellphone, can consider tethering it for the IP use - also covered in some posts in detail in the forum

OP stated he has better than a cellphone.

He has an iphone. He may need help to jailbreak it though.

Not notice that?

Dongle = mobile broadband USB modem

In the UK I have never come across a static dongle. May be different in the US though.
