I'm curious now how IP addresses are assigned. Is it the actual location of your internet connection? Is it always the same? What about public internet access, like public libraries? Where would you even find your IP address? I can't even locate my Windows license key number.

@@DonnaMM6361 askleo.com/whats_my_ip_address/ will show you your iP address (there are many sites online that will do it). There's no consistent approach to assigning them - each ISP does it differently. Best thought of as "random".
@ShellCode-oo2cu7 ай бұрын
Nobody can do that. The IP address belongs to your Internet service provider and does not contain any customer data. The location of this IP address is usually in your city, as this is where your ISP's routers are located and this is always misunderstood.

hmm yes you can, but not directly. and not without a court order. you can get a general location from an IP, but for a name and address you would have to get that from the service provider, which is quite easy to find. you then just need a court order in that jurisdiction to get the name and address associated with that IP.

One minor point, not all IP addresses are owned by an ISP. Large organizations will often get their own address blocks from ARIN or other registry.
@askleonotenboom2 ай бұрын
But they're still controlled by the ISP.
@James_Knott2 ай бұрын
@askleonotenboom No they are not. Those organizations would have their own autonomous system. They get their addresses from ARIN and they control them, just like an ISP would. They would then connect to the Internet backbone at an Internet Exchange Point (IXP). An IXP is where the various ISPs, carriers and others meet to exchange packets. A bit on my background, I have worked in telecom for about half a century, more recently with networks. I have my Cisco CCNA and the building I used to work in for a telecom is now an IXP. I have since done some work in that building for a cell phone carrier. So, when a company such as IBM or Microsoft, etc. gets their addresses they have nothing to do with any ISP as they are their own. Look up "autonomous system" on Wikipedia for more info.

And add into that, VPNs. For less than the price of a candy bar, you can get a piece of software that gives everything you do an IP address from the other side of the world. For the price of a Netflix sub, you can get a good one that can even fool ... Netflix. People do it to watch shows only available overseas. People in the US do it to binge Law and Order: UK. UK users do it to get access to US movies earlier than they are sometimes offered there. Canadians and Aussies do it to do both. Chinese users do it to get around the Great Firewall. Every country has VPN hosts and users. You could also sue, instead of going to Law Enforcement, but likely you will end up spending a lot of money and not getting much to show for it. Like 6 figures to get close to them and they can defeat all your spending like I said above, by spending the price of a Netflix sub or less. With Tor, they might not even need to spend anything.

The thing is that IP adresses often change. If you have someones IP adress, who is causing you trouble, it might get some time for law enforcement to get court order. Meanwhile, the suspects IP adress could change. Do the ISP have any database about what ip adress was used by who in certain time?

You have a mobile phone, yes? So either (or both) GPS tells your phone where it is, and that's share with an advertising network, or bluetooth (or perhaps Wi-Fi) even if not connected can let the store know you were nearby. Privacy? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Though I'll bet it's something we all agreed to when we accepted the terms of service.
