Are static ips a common thing in the US? Here in Germany getting a fresh ip is as easy as restarting the router unless you explicitly pay for a static ip.

- ipband 6y agoI'm not using a static IP, but heck they did it anyway. They might have even banned my device IDs (MAC IDs) or thing associated with my route. I don't like VPNs. They're a false sense of security, like Tor, and babies. I never trusted babies...
- ipband 6y agoJust kidding about the babies, folks! They're no more a false sense of security than adults or adolescents!
- jpindar 6y agoStatic ips are not common, but ips that are technically dynamic but in fact rarely change are.
- 8note 6y agoThat's been helping out my valheim server. I was expecting it to hanger kinda frequently but my IP hasn't changed in more than a month in counting
- Sohcahtoa82 6y agoDepends on the ISP. For some people, simply rebooting their router gets a new IP. Others have to explicitly tell it to release the IP and then renew it. Others have to change their router's MAC address. I know that personally, if I release it and renew it, I'll get assigned the same IP. Though my IP is technically dynamic, it hasn't changed in the 5 years I've been in this house. I haven't tried changing my MAC address, but with a previous ISP, I had changed my router's MAC and it wouldn't even get an IP at all until I changed it back. Makes me wonder what would happen if I had changed it to the MAC of a router being used by another customer...
