In the age of the Internet, IP has become a common web tool. **IP can help us hide our real IP address, improve the speed of surfing the Internet, and also protect our privacy. Among them, static IP and dynamic IP are two common methods. This article will explain how to set up a static IP and how it differs from a dynamic IP.
1. How to set a static IP**.
1.Obtain a static IP address.
The first thing you need to do is get a static IP address that is available. You can obtain it by purchasing a dedicated static IP address service or by using some free static IP address acquisition methods.
2.Set up the server.
After obtaining the static IP address, you need to set up a server. The purpose of this server is to point all traffic through this server to a static IP address. This can be done by setting up a server on your local computer or on your router.
The way to set up a **server on your local computer is to open the Network and Sharing Center, click "Change Adapter Settings", select the corresponding network connection, right-click "Properties", then find the "HTTP" or "HTTPS" protocol in the new window, click the "Advanced" button, click "Add" in the pop-up window, and then enter the static IP address and port number.
The steps to set up a server on your router are to log in to the router management interface, find the "Advanced Settings" or "Network Settings" menu, find "Server Settings" or similar options there, and enter the static IP address and port number.
3.Verify the settings.
After the settings are complete, you can use the ping command or other methods to verify whether the ** server is set up successfully. If you can successfully ping the **server, then the **server has been set up successfully.
2. What is the difference between static IP and dynamic **IP?
1.IP addresses are different.
The static IP address is fixed and does not change;Whereas, dynamic IP addresses are changing and will change with the change of the network environment.
2.It's set up differently.
The setting method of static IP address is relatively simple, and the flow crown only needs to set the IP address of the computer to a fixed static IP addressThe dynamic IP address setting requires the use of some specific software or tools to automatically obtain the IP address.
3.It is suitable for different scenarios.
Static IP addresses are suitable for scenarios that require long-term stable network connections, such as enterprise networks and serversDynamic IP addresses are suitable for scenarios that require frequent network environment changes, such as mobile devices and home networks.
4.Security is different.
Since the static IP address is fixed, it is easy for attackers to exploit itThe dynamic IP address can be changed at any time, which is relatively more secure.
In short, static IP** and dynamic IP** have their own advantages and disadvantages, and need to be selected and used according to actual needs. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the protection of personal privacy and security when using **IP.
