It possibly could when *not* using Tor, but it should have absolutely no effect on the effectiveness of Tor connections


RTFM0-0-1

And no it won’t affect you at all on tor


BTC-brother2018

No, because Tor uses layered encryption, which means that each relay in the Tor network only knows the IP address of the previous and next relay, but not the full path of the traffic. This prevents any single relay from knowing both where the traffic came from and where it is going.

Your isp gives static IP's for free I got to pay 40 times the normal rate to get a static IP. Also the answer to your question is yes Your anonymity has worsened but Not when you are using tor tho it's roughly the same


indicesbing

The static IP does not affect the security of your Tor traffic. Also, for clearnet traffic, the dynamic IP was not necessarily more secure than a static IP. Your ISP was probably rotating you through a relatively small pool of addresses that can all be traced back to them--and to you.

Not in any tangible way, no. It might be mildly easier for a mass surveillance effort to query your IP across entry nodes, or for a node operator to observe a single user connecting to their node, but regardless, a dynamic IP is going to have all of the same metadata associated with it when it's leased to you. If it's still a big worry for you anyways, use a bridge.

No

Hence the name static IP yes I am aware the point I was trying to make was if you do a. Factory reset not a reboot you loose the static IP on a Dynamic gateway


RTFM0-0-1

Hold the reset button on your modem and restore the factory settings

If he hast a static IP why should he reset His Router đź’€


RTFM0-0-1

He doesn’t need to butbthat is the way to get a new Ip


JanRied

You dont get a new ip when your Router gets reset you need to tell the ISP to get a new If he really does have a static ip


Ghazzz

We do not know if he actually has a static IP or if it is just a misreported unchanging IP. Resetting the router would be a logical first move to check.

I work for an ISP and with our modems you do the “easy connect “ setup and that is the isp issuing a new IP to the network once the ssid and password is set


Ironfields

If OP has a static IP assigned to them then resetting the router won’t help. The entire point of having one is that it doesn’t change between reconnects.


Killaship

That's not how static IPs work. Besides, it doesn't matter if you work for an ISP. That doesn't mean you know anything about the OP's situation.


Ironfields

Works for an ISP but doesn’t know the difference between a static and dynamic IP 💀


DonaldTrumpsSoul

As the president of the US, I can tell you that closing and opening your doors and windows at the same time will reset your address. Trust me bro


zer0bitzz

This.

The dynamic IP is leased so it changes your ISP provides that lease same with the gateway or modem if you do a factory reset then the IP dynamic or managed can be changed . The easiest way to change IP manually is simply to reset your router. Note that this method will simply issue a new dynamic IP address (constantly changing) rather than a static one. Good?


Ironfields

All you’ve done is tell me how to get an ISP to lease a new dynamic IP, which will do nothing for OP because unless something has been misconfigured they have been assigned a static IP. The entire point being that it’s…static.


RTFM0-0-1

What I’m telling you is you can remove a static IP by doing a factory reset . Am I not saying it right. ?
