I was thinking about doing that but I would have to return it. I might go with another carrier.
but yeah, I could fuck with my passangers if I ever go back to doing uber. place a Faraday cage in the car on the ceiling and then place the enteni on top of the car so only I get reception. sick of these c**ts yapping on their phonesThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2021-11-20 at 10:26 PM UTCIf it used to be dynamic but now it's static that's not 'someone' that's your ISP. And cable is irrelevant to having a static or dynamic IP, as that gets assigned upstream. Also, i don't know this for a fact but it would seem to me that dynamic would cost more money simply because more steps go into assigning your IP. Multiply this 12 million times and it starts to eat into efficiency.

Consumer ISPs almost always assign dynamic IPs because it helps with address exhaustion, you only need to assign the number of addresses that are active at a given time as opposed to holding one for each subscriber. With home lines you probably have a modem that’s always on so not that important anymore, but with phones a sizable portion are going to be offline at any given time. Although then I’m not sure if you even truly have a unique external address on a phone since the carrier gateways it, I don’t know if there’s a case where you really need to be addressable at the IP level from outside -

Do you mean gateway in the technical sense, because there's going to be at least two gateways between any two end points on the internet right? Unless i guess it's the gateways themselves talking to each other. Also big intranet is going to be different cause you use gateways to cordon off sections of the internal network, for security purposes. -

Originally posted by blaster master Yeah, with cellphone internet it appears thru my basic understanding that you share an IP address with many other users.
There has to be a unique identifier for your phone behind the gateway. If there wasn't the gateway couldn't direct traffic intended for you to your phone. IDK if that's a local IP, MAC, IMSI, or IMEI but you have a unique identifier. Gateways can cross protocol communicate so who even knows. Yeah the people that designed all this mobile internet infrastructure.
I don't have time to learn how to become an expert network engineer. I could make time and it would probably be worthwhile, but as long as it works for apps that have a reason to communicate over the internet it will work for malware too. So there's that. -

i know comcast always gives static IPs but yet they say they are dynamic. only way i was able to find a way to get your IP to change is get another gateway with a different mac address, and wait for your current IP to get picked up by someone else before you plug your new one back in. I bought a new gateway at my one old house and got the same IP, then i had a extra older modem laying around and i was going out of town for a few days so i unplugged it, waited until i got back into town, went to the local free wifi spot, and was able to ping my old ip. went home and plugged my new modem in and finally got a new IP. Besides that, even if you call them they wont ever change your IP -

they do. they tell you that you can reboot it or unplug it and wait 1 hour and when you log back on, it will be a new IP.
the funny thing is a Static IP cost more than a dynamic. you could run your own server with a static IP by linking a domain reg to your Apache server software.
but it makes it easier for getting DDoS or other methods of messing with you.
there is an old ap I remember where you create a user name and the ap always updates a dynamic ip so you could run a FTP or apache server if you chose. it would act as a domain name but it can be your own name or a word with numbers or any made up word.
it was free as well. but Comcast will keep you on the same IP for months before suddenly changing. I turned my box off over night for hours, came back on and it was the same IP. clicking the reset didn't change it either.
I don't bother anymore. I'm waiting for the new Verizon system said to be coming out. T-Mobile is shit Im told. too many problem with theirs.
the other thing would be to get Sonic -

i know verizon fios have a release/renew in the settings that should work every time, but not sure if the normal non-fios allows that option in their gateway. -

2021-12-29 at 2:15 AM UTCalso what you're talking about is leased IPs, they're dynamic but they typically change on a schedule (often a week or so from what I've seen) rather than renewing on reconnect
