Chances are that you’re reading this because you’re interested in obtaining a static IP address for some reasons which is best known to you.
What is an IP Address?
Wikipedia defines an Internet Protocol (IP) address as a “numerical label assigned to each device (e.g., computer, printer) participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.” I realise these aren’t layman terms. For a better understanding, I recommend you read this document at gnome.org
Advantages of Securing a Static IP Address
Remote Access: With a static IP address you can access your PC regardless of your location in the world. Using programs such as OpenSSH and Remote Administrator, you enjoy the convenience of accessing your work or home PC wherever you are.
Server Administration: Cloud services providers such as Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud offer customers the ability to lock down certain services and ports to desired IP addresses to improve security. And you can also build a firewall locking down sensitive property to select IP addresses.
IP Cameras: You will need a static IP address to reach your cameras when you are away. Picture this, if you had to call someone but didn’t have their phone number or it had been changed with no forwarding number to call, how would you reach them? The static IP gives you that same number all time. That said there are other ways to connect from the outside by using a DDNS system.
There are several other benefits to retaining a public IP address such as being able to host services from your home / work computer and so on. A google search will reveal more.
It’s safe to assume most Internet surfers value anonymity online because that is what makes the Internet a unique experience. For the first time in history, people from around the world with access to a computer have been able to connect to each other, communicate, and share information without having to disclose personal information. On the Internet your alias is your identity. It is this opportunity to remain anonymous that has allowed many people to practice freedom of speech and use the Internet as a tool of expression.
There are some reasons we might want to connect to the internet anonymously or by using a static/dedicated IP which is different from our original location IP.
To remain anonymous online there is a need for proxy tunnel software like your-freedom. Your-Freedom is just a flexible anonymizer and anti-censorship tool.
