What’s the difference between a static IP address and a dynamic IP address?

Quick refresher:

While a static IP address will remain connected to that device for as long as you maintain the service, a dynamic IP will change when it expires, which is usually every 24 hours, or a multiple of 24 hours.

Your static IP address will only change if you make a radical change to your network architecture, or if you’re no longer using that device at all.

Static IP addresses are usually assigned by your Internet Service Provider, and are great for situations where you want your IP to remain the same.

Examples include:

 

  • Remote Access: Your technicians will want to be able to remotely access your device from anywhere, and they do this by using your IP address. If your IP address changes regularly, then you’ll need to set up an auto-update or use an additional technology or integration to ensure you can easily allow remote support where necessary.

 

  • Geolocation Services: If you want a website to be able to recognize a device even while the user moves locations, a static IP address can be very useful. Think about dating apps for example where the website relies on recognizing the user and using their location to find nearby matches. A static IP gives more accurate data when location matters.

 

  • Server Hosting: Static IPs are most commonly used when hosting web servers, email servers, or any other kind of servers. This makes it easier for users to find the IP address in the Domain Name System. In fact, easier setup and DNS support is another bonus of using a static IP for any business.

 

With all these benefits, you might wonder why anyone would want a dynamic IP.

Well, let’s put you out of your misery. The two big reasons for opting for a dynamic IP, are cost, and security. While static IPs are often used for businesses and servers, individual users and consumer equipment usually relies on dynamic IP addresses. These are assigned by the ISP as well, this time by the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers.

 

How are dynamic IPs more secure and cost-effective?

 

With a static IP address, individuals can look up the location of your devices, unless you’re using a VPN. (Hint: use a VPN.) Static IP addresses are definitely easier to hack than dynamic IP addresses, which change randomly and periodically, stopping attackers from tracking devices or targeting them with ease.

 

Dynamic IP addresses are also more affordable. The ISP buys a batch of IP addresses and assigns them randomly, and in most cases the user will have no idea that the IP has changed. They also require no maintenance or ongoing costs. In contrast, ISPs know that if you’re requesting a static IP, it’s important for your business to have one, and so they feel confident that they can charge your business a premium for the privilege.

 

The truth is, most users won’t need a static IP address, but it’s important to understand the difference for the rare cases that you or a client does need that control.

What is the difference between regular VPN and Residential VPN that use Dynamic IPs

 

Regular VPN, also known as a commercial VPN, uses a server or a network of servers to provide a secure and private connection to the internet. These servers typically have a fixed IP address and are owned and operated by a VPN service provider.

A Residential VPN, on the other hand, uses IP addresses that are assigned to real residential internet connections. These IP addresses are typically obtained through partnerships with internet service providers (ISPs) and are not associated with commercial VPN servers. This can make the IP addresses appear more legitimate and less likely to be blocked by websites and services that are suspicious of VPN traffic. Additionally, Residential VPNs tend to use dynamic IPs which means that the IPs are not fixed and change frequently, making it harder to be blocked or blacklisted.

In summary, the main difference between regular VPN and Residential VPN is that regular VPNs use commercial servers while Residential VPNs use IP addresses that are assigned to real residential internet connections with dynamic IPs.

Remember!

Actually Thy are NO residential VPN providers connect you with dynamic IPs, except for our company.

We use Mobile IPs coming from devices connected to Mobile USA providers such : Verizon, T-Mobile  and AT&T

 

 

What are the capabilities of a residential VPN that utilizes dynamic IP addresses?

A residential VPN that uses dynamic IP addresses can provide a number of benefits to users. These include:

  1. Improved anonymity: Residential IP addresses are assigned to individuals and are typically harder to track than data center IP addresses, making it more difficult for third parties to identify or track a user's online activities.
  2. Better geo-spoofing: Residential IP addresses are associated with a specific location, which allows users to access location-restricted content and services. This is particularly useful for users who want to access content that is only available in certain countries.
  3. More reliable connections: Residential IP addresses are typically more stable and less likely to be blocked by websites and services than data center IP addresses, which can be associated with spam or other malicious activity.
  4. More secure connections: Residential IP addresses are less likely to be targeted by hackers and other malicious actors than data center IP addresses, which are commonly used in VPN services.

5.Easy for use: Residential VPN use dynamic IPs, meaning that IP addresses are assigned and changed dynamically, which makes it harder for tracking tools to identify or hack a specific IP address.

In summary, a residential VPN that uses dynamic IPs can provide better anonymity, better geo-spoofing, more stable and secure connections, and more difficult to be blocked, almost impossible  to be hacked!

VPN Kill-Switch

OpenVPN

Just tick Kill-Switch and save

Kill switch

Kill-Switch: A feature that terminates internet connectivity if the VPN connection drops to protect user privacy.

Note: in some instances, activating the Kill-Switch feature may cause issues with reconnecting in OpenVPN.

To resolve this, simply close the OpenVPN software and restart it.

VPN Protocols and Features

Our VPN technology uses SSL-VPN Tunneling over HTTPS to bypass NATs and firewalls (utilizing 100% real HTTPS traffic on TCP port 443). In countries where the government employs Advanced Deep Packet Inspection (A.D.P.I.) technology to detect VPN encryption, our VPN technology avoids detection and is not recognized as a VPN connection or encryption.

SSL

  • OpenVPN
  • L2TP, L2TP/IPsec, MS-SSTP, L2TPv3/IPsec ( by request )
  • Ethernet-bridging (L2) and IP-routing (L3) over VPN.

Revolutionary VPN over DNS and VPN over ICMP

In order to make it possible to establish client-server session via such a very-restricted network, SOfVPN has the "VPN over ICMP" and the "VPN over DNS" function.

This function is very powerful to penetrate such a restricted firewall.

All VPN packets are capsuled into ICMP or DNS packets to transmit over the firewall. The receiver-side endpoint extracts the inner packet from the capsuled packet. ( Use this function for emergency use only, it is not for long-term stable using.)

  • L2TPv3/IPsec and EtherIP/IPsec Protocols ( This has an advantage to reduce the cost)

Cisco’s center routers are very expensive. You can simply replace Cisco’s high-end router in the center of VPN, to SOfVPN Server.

Cisco routers, NEC IX series and IIJ SEIL.
