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

    Normally yes, but they may only do it for the “evil people using a hardened Browser” as they will recognize everyone of those Chrome, Edge or Safari users perfectly. Along with Opera, Vivaldi, Samsung Internet etc

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

          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. Dynamic ipv4 addresses are very much a universal thing and everyone who has tried hosting something at home will have noticed that.

          You’re welcome to name any internet provider that gives consumers a static ipv4.

            I have a shitty $30 spectrum plan in NY and my IP hasn’t changed in 2 years. From what I understand, they don’t reserve it, but they don’t change it either

            It’s not that expensive to buy a premium static IP from ISPs. It’s like 10% on top of a usual monthly rate, so not a terribly expensive one.
