How do I change my Linode server's ip?

Earlier today I was doing a development live stream on my twitch channel. I accidentally hit F12, opening Quake, and thus exposing my server's public IP on the stream. I had been connected to my server in that terminal, and hadn't cleared it.

How do I change my server's IP?

I don't want to risk having any security issues with my server, given a few people might have seen the Public IP.

Linode support should be able to take care of this for you, call them if you want it done quickly. Alternatively, you could spin up another Linode, clone your current Linode, make sure everything works on the new one, then delete the old one. You'll have a different IPV4 and IPV6 address in that case.
