Multiple people can share one IP
- donatj 4y agoI mean yes, with NAT, especially on IPv4 but fingerprinting at the household level still seems exceedingly valuable.
- spiderfarmer 4y agoMost people are on dynamic IP's.
- donatj 4y agoThey’re usually not actually that dynamic. I’m on Comcast and my IP hasn’t changed since before COVID/wfh started. I know because I have to update my works whitelist for the VPC every time it does. Even if it changed weekly, that’s valuable data. How many websites do you access in that time?
- ntp85 4y agoUsing a common household internet access here in Germany, i.e. consumer level, one gets assigned a new IP roughly every 24 hours.
- Semaphor 4y agoYeah. I could get a static IP for 5€/month, but besides that everything is dynamic.
- aden1ne 4y agoThis greatly varies between ISPs. We too have such a whitelist for wfh. Some people have had the same IP for years. Others have a different IP every week, sometimes even more frequently.
- alibert 4y agoThere is also CGNAT which is used by mobile provider and increasingly on fixed line internet.
