and there is no such thing as semi-static

 

[Gone]

its either dynamic or static, I used to be a network engineer...

 

[Hoi_gr]

Well, if it's the same for 5 years I would call it static

 

[Hoi_gr]

I got 5 connections, all have the same IP for 4 years, never had to ask anyone for static IP.

 

[FunGuyJohn]

You have 5 internet lines in one house?

 

[Hoi_gr]

No, different houses

I think it's a EU objective to make surveillance easier.

You've been watching too many youtube conspiracy videos

The typical lease time for ISP's in the United States is roughly 7 days.

 

[Hoi_gr]

Well, we used to pay for static IP. Now they give it out for free. Sus

 

[Pariknyx]

Anyone who has anything to hide uses a VPN

 

[Hoi_gr]

Well most people have nothing to hide. But being able to link an IP to names and locations makes mass surveillance so much easier.

Plus there is no reason for an ISP to give static IP addresses, there are far too many negatives for the company just so "some mistory man can spy"

1. IPv4 has a limited number of unique IP addresses. With the growing number of internet-connected devices, the demand for IP addresses has exceeded the available supply.

2. Assigning static IP addresses to every customer would require additional infrastructure and resources from ISPs. They would need to implement systems that track and manage the allocation of static IPs, which can be costly to maintain.

3. Dynamic IP addressing simplifies the configuration process for most home users. With dynamic IP assignment, users don't have to worry about manually configuring their network settings or dealing with potential conflicts when multiple devices share the same IP address.

I don't know why I am even arguing with someone who clearly doesn't understand IPv4...

 

[Hoi_gr]

To learn something new cause you were obviously a network engineer in the 90s. Metropolitan Area Networks. Multiple people can have the same external IP.

 

[Duduch]

I live in Europe and my IP address changes every 2 weeks...
