IP's are static and assigned by the Internet Service Provider. Rebooting your router does absolutely nothing.

Brief compacted history:

• 1990's: Dial-up modems ===> random IP assigned from the ISP's range every time you connected.
  
• Early 2000's: Broadband ===> IP assigned by the ISP that changed periodically. Perhaps monthly even if you didn't disconnect. (because you might be naughty, and try to setup a website/email server tut tut...)
  
• Later 2000's: Broadband ===> Static IP... forever. Because you can be tracked by your IP. The ISP knows you are too dumb to setup a web/email/game server, and couldn't care less if you tried. Tracking your shopping/viewing habits is WAY more important.

Some ISP will change your IP on request if you have a VERY good reason. They can charge for this service, and are usually reluctant to do it. They may also limit this to once every 12 months.

Residential IP addresses are dynamically assigned. To acquire a static IP address, it'd be a business account -- static addresses are becoming harder to acquire, especially IPv4 in this era of IPv6. The methods of changing IP addresses through most routers is to change the "ghost MAC address" of the router itself -- this will assign the user a new IP.

wtf is hapening what should i do should i change my ip right ?

[Megazoid]

Yeah, both you got me.

Dynamic IPs appear to still be a thing. I was under the impression they were on the way out, but after checking some of the big providers in my country, they are still common. I only use obscure residential ISPs - they literally only provide static IPs by default.

Oh well. I don't mind being wrong. The irony is I was an analyst for an ISP for 10 years. It was a while ago... :)

[IceFoxX]

ill have to pay 4-5€ if i want a static ip.

[LeafZi]

i still dont understand what i have to do

just wait chill dont panic and if a ddos happens just call your ISP
btw you told its because gaming (dont wanna hear the story) so i dont think that the other person will do anything for hiding his public ip.

OP...

1. If I had a dollar for every time someone threatened me on the Internet and nothing ever came of it, I'd own a small island.

2. When someone telegraphs their intentions: IE give you an opportunity to protect yourself, well why would anyone do that? If they were able to they'd just do it. This is just nonsense to get you riled up and spin your wheels. Mission accomplished there. You've been riled up over this all day dancing on their puppet strings.

3. If you know this person, and he did carry out any sort of attack, report him to the authorities.

4. Anyone who has to resort to threats and manipulation so you'll do what they want is not your friend and you're not doing yourself any favors remaining in contact with them. Block this person. Cease all communication. Keeping you on the hook is the source of their entertainment. Stop enabling them, stop making yourself the victim. Stop wasting your time with nonsense like this.

Laugh in his face. Problem solved.


What he's doing is just trying to scare you with a terrible lie. And this thread is proof that he was successful and got everything he wanted out of it.
