If it blocks your IP, wouldn’t everyone who came to your house get banned as long as they’re using your Wi-Fi?

Your IP address changes every 24h, doesnt it? How are IP bans effective at all?

Maybe yours does, but that’s not universal in the slightest

I was talking about ipv4 addresses. There is no interner service provider that I’m aware of that gives non-business customers static ipv4 addresses.

I had 65.25.55.55 for over two years, even after multiple router reboots. It took a modem upgrade to lose me my address.

That the address is dynamic does not imply it changes every 24 hours.
