[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 3498156, member: 5800"] You're pretty well on point for the most part --- most people are going to have a relatively static IP from their internet provider. Long story short cutting out technical fuzz, but all devices in your house on your internet pipe are going to have that. Whether it changes or not, the ISP should have a record of what IP was assigned where at any given time. This is why it's also a good idea to secure your Wifi for instance. If someone came and downloaded naughty kiddie stuff or torrents, or was using the internet for insurrection or something and they were on your Wifi, you'll certainly get the first look from the federales. The address will change more often on a cell phone, or cell phone hot spot, but there's still logging. Really the only way to work around that is through a VPN connection for the surface web. EVEN THEN not all VPN's are created equal. Some still keep some kind of logs that could be provided to the feds although they advertise that's for exceptional purposes. It pays to research how a VPN company does business. The Dark Web is really the only totally anonymous place because of it's design and access, although there's still a lot of suspicion that if the NSA or someone really wanted they could track you through it. But that's totally a different discussion that doesn't really relate here much. [/QUOTE]
