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

    Maybe yours does, but that’s not universal in the slightest

      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

        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.

        Dynamic yes, objecting to 24h. Many places keep the same dynamic address for months or years

        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.
