    Some people pay for a static IP. Why do you want a dynamic one?

        it a dynamic sticky ip meaning it dynamic but it the same ip

  • telstra seems to have it…

    • i wonder if internode.on.net offers it too?

  • why ? static is better.

    Why Dynamic IP OP? This same question was asked multiple times here in your own post and you seem to refuse to answer? Even with a Dynamic IP your online activities could be tracked and tied to your physical address and MAC if that is what you are worrying about.

    People actually pay to get a static IP or have had to use dynamic DNS and other hacks to achieve a similar outcome and you already have static but badly wanting dynamic. Are you trying to hide something? Or is this a continuation of the 'special' ones you have been posting lately such as this and this

    • Yeah, from his/her replies, it looks like he/she doesn't know sh!t. Either that or troll post. I regret replying seriously.

    • your online activities could be tracked and tied to your physical address and MAC if that is what you are worrying about.

      I'm interested in this. According to this article, is it IPv6? (https://cyberwaters.com/does-vpn-hide-your-mac-address/)

  • Tangerine is dynamic

    • how do you know this?

      • I'm using it .__.

        • but how do YOU know for sure? how do you check?

          • @ilove: I have a home server. Need to use DDNS to access due to the changing IP. Most nbn providers give you dynamic ip unless you specifically pay extra for static ip or that it gives you static ip.

              @brokenglish: I'm with aussiebb and they have a dynamic ip but it's "sticky" as it never changes

                @ilove: AussieBB is semi sticky static because it's using CGNAT. You're assigned with ABB internal private IP by default. This IP is not publicly accessible. You have to request to be not CGNAT-ed.

                For usual dynamic ip, there's a set interval when your ip will change: daily, weekly, monthly, even yearly, depending on the ISP settings. You might be able to force it to change by disconnecting and reconnecting the WAN. YMMV. Different ISP different settings.

                You need to be more clear in your question, e.g. what exactly is your problem / what are you trying to achieve. Half assed question gets half assed anwers.

                • @brokenglish: I read CGNAT a bit today but don't know if changing to non CGNAT will suit me. Thinking of changing to Tangerine or other isp with a dynamic ip. Tangerine has a static ip default provided

                  • @ilove: Just ask your provider to turn CGNAT off. I asked Leaptel and they did.

                    I want a static IP but I am too tight to pay $10 per month. I'll use DDNS instead.

                • @brokenglish: Usually if you still end up getting the same IP after power-cycling the router it means you have to leave it off for 30-60 mins to let the session time-out (on the ISP's BRAS) in order to get a fresh one.

  • At Exetel, we have always provided our residential and business broadband services with the following Public Static IP address options - all for FREE:

    Default Configuration

    IPv4 = CG-NAT - easy opt-out in My Exetel customer portal if required
    IPv6 = /60 Public Static

    Optional Configuration

    IPv4 = Public Static
    IPv6 = /56 Public Static

    If an ISP is charging money for Public Static IP's, they are ripping you off - either because they just think they can get away with it or they have miss-managed their IPv4 address allocations over time. IPv6 Public Static IP's addresses should never be charged - this would be criminal!

    We love IPv6 so much we have over 70% of our customers who are benefitting from the enhanced performance and security offered by IPv6 - the second highest in the Australian ISP industry - or you might say highest when compared to the current leader who's network was built from day 1 as default IPv6:

      Speaking as a Neighbourhood Cable customer, from those stats you appear to be third.

  • Bounces around daily

  • There's no reason to want dynamic. At any given time your ISP knows what your IP address is and records it.
    If you think it makes you somehow anonymous you are mistaken.

  • It's not about isp knowing his dark web things, i guess this guy is doing something sneaky like getting deals or annoying someone using dynamic ip but the activity might not be sinister enough to get ISP concerned.
