First thing that comes to mind is using ssl connection to pool, second using vpn.
Describe your current setup so we will be able to give more precise advices.

SSL isn't good enough, the IP addresses are still visible. VPN is the only way.

I think VPN will be the only way to effectively hide your IP... but be carefull as some of the VPN companies are not so secretive about keeping their users information...
good luck my friend

In addition some VPNs could be run by the state, cooperate with the state, or be infected
with state sponsored malware. Choose one carefully.

I don't know what you are mining but I think the best way to deal with this would be to just solo mine. Most likely they are banning IPs to pools correct? But most likely not banning any ETH or BCH or BTC nodes. So if you solo mine then that should be an easy way and you don't need to deal with VPN.

Out of curiosity what country is this? Didn't think government were against miners or Crypto anymore.

Completely agree. Solo mining would be the best solution if you can do that.

I don't know about other countries, but I know that in Venezuela you have to apply for a license to be able to mine crypto legally, and that the government doesn't seem too keen to give new licenses. It is not strictly illegal, but you can't mine legally if you don't have a license, and it seems really hard to get one.

Is it possible to share which country you are from? I don't think there are still any countries where mining Bitcoin is banned, you should use strong VPN

ExpressVPN or Orchid imho.

If you don't need big bandwith, and for mining you don't, then Orchid. It's like 20 cents for 5 GB of data, which should go a long way for a mining farm.
The speed is not good tho, usually less than 5mbps, but then again, for mining, not really that much important
