Comment on Weird Internet Behavior Starting Selfhost Server & PC's
irmadlad@lemmy.world 1 day agoMaybe a picture will help. This one is from Browserleaks:
Where the IP is listed at the top of the page. All the last numbers in the IP sequence were different. Same block, still piped through Cloudflare tho.

Your public IP is DHCP. It changes from time to time. Nothing weird about that.
Any of the other IP’s in the DNS Servers list changing is just what you get pointed to when resolved based on your GeoIP location.

Hmmmm I seem to be unable to explain.
Ok. Fire up the VPN.
Do, 4 different, simultaneous, leak checks from multiple sites like Browser Leaks, dnscheck.tools, etc.
As in the picture, under ‘Your IP’. Results:
Whereas xxx.xxx.xxx stayed the same, but the last set in the sequence was different in every test. The IP block (xxx.xxx.xxx.) was the same, just the last three digits were different in 4 different, simultaneous, tests. I realize VPN IPs change and so do Cloudflare IPs change. What I am saying is tho the IP block was the same (owned by the VPN), just the last three digits were different, even when I changed locales in my VPN.
I hope that explains what I’m trying to say.

See my other response. This is quite normal.

They have always been the same, now for years.
