If it blocks your IP, wouldn’t everyone who came to your house get banned as long as they’re using your Wi-Fi?

    I was talking about ipv4 addresses. There is no interner service provider that I’m aware of that gives non-business customers static ipv4 addresses.

      I have a shitty $30 spectrum plan in NY and my IP hasn’t changed in 2 years. From what I understand, they don’t reserve it, but they don’t change it either

        yeah, my IP changed once in 5 years or so.

      I had 65.25.55.55 for over two years, even after multiple router reboots. It took a modem upgrade to lose me my address.

      That the address is dynamic does not imply it changes every 24 hours.

      It’s not that expensive to buy a premium static IP from ISPs. It’s like 10% on top of a usual monthly rate, so not a terribly expensive one.
