Sometimes using a VPN it’s not an option for some tasks and I’d like to do something kinda like a virtual machine that has it’s own natural IP address like if it was an actual physical device. How could I do something like this and… It’s even possible to do that?

I have no idea what you’re talking about but as far as I know - a VPN is the only tool that can hide your IP address.

Well all the devices on your local network are behind a NAT so they’re all going to have the same IP address. I doubt your ISP is going to give you multiple IP addresses, maybe there are some that do that with IPv6 I have no idea. Really you should just go to a coffee shop or library or something if you want a different IP address without a VPN/Tor.

Route things into the Tor Network? Tails does everything underneath the OS so you get a system-wide Tor Network connection.
No VPN involved. Were you looking for something like this?

No, it was more like routing a VM’s connections through a natural IP, I mean, the regular IP that’s being used when a device connects to the Internet without any VPNs or TOR, because there are some services that may block VPNs and TOR and may identify them, which is not ideal. Using a natural IP may trick sites that I’m visiting their sites from a regular IP without VPNs or TOR. I’m not sure if this explanation was clear, but that’s the idea.
But with this explanation seems to be more like an ISP thing.
Sounds like you just need a undetectable one. Hop on Mysterium VPN and keep reconnecting to the US/U.S. Virgin islands location until you get a residential IP. Unless they are using some advanced proxy detection API like spur.us you’ll be fine. As more people use the location it may get detected but since it’s decentralized vpn the servers come and go.

You’re right—ISPs typically assign one public IP per network. To hide your IP without a VPN, use cloud-based VMs, proxy servers, or Tor. Mobile tethering or switching Wi-Fi networks (coffee shops, libraries) also works. Some ISPs provide multiple IPv6 addresses, but it’s not common for residential users.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding but it kind of sounds like what you need is split tunneling. It’s a feature of many VPNs that lets you bypass the VPN for specific apps.
It won’t hide your ip address though. It will be your actual ip.

get a mobile data hotspot from calyxinstitute.org - its not registered in your name, its distributed and registered to calyx institute under an educational research license deal. Unlimited 4g or 5g depending on the device you purchase.
using a proxy is the only option I can think of 
yes but with a proxy you’re trusting that provider and they do know your true IP so.
Then you have to install vpn on the VM
Exactly! A cloud VPS assigns a unique external IP, mobile tethering provides a carrier-assigned IP, Tor anonymizes traffic, and proxy servers mask your real IP. A VM alone won’t help unless traffic is routed through a different network. Let me know if you need setup guidance!
