I'm using NEVPNProtocolIKEv2 to configure NEVPNManager:

func connect(userName: String, passwordReference: Data, serverAddress: String) async throws {
    let vpn = NEVPNManager.shared()
    try await vpn.loadFromPreferences()
    let pc = NEVPNProtocolIKEv2()
    pc.serverAddress = serverAddress
    pc.authenticationMethod = .none
    pc.username = userName
    pc.passwordReference = passwordReference
    pc.useExtendedAuthentication = true
    vpn.protocolConfiguration = pc
    vpn.isEnabled = true
    try await vpn.saveToPreferences()
    try await vpn.loadFromPreferences()
    try vpn.connection.startVPNTunnel()
}

Is there a parameter I can modify so that the IP address of the client appears different every few minutes?

Not on the client side. When using a built-in VPN transport like IKEv2, the IP address is controlled by the VPN server. You’ll have to see if your VPN server has a way to force regular IP address renegotiations.
