In the online world, IP addresses are like our ID cards, which are used to identify our unique identity on the Internet. Static IP and dynamic IP are two different ways of assigning this "ID card".

I. The difference between static IP and dynamic IP

Dynamic IP: A dynamic IP address is like a rented apartment. Every time a user goes online, the Internet Service Provider (ISP) will randomly assign a new IP address. This means that the user's IP address will change frequently, which is not conducive to services and applications that require a fixed IP address.

Static IP: A static IP address is like a property that belongs to you, with a fixed and unique IP address. Users use the same IP address whenever and wherever they connect to the network. This stability makes static IP irreplaceable in many fields.

II. Advantages of static IP

1. Stability: and reliability Static IP ensures the stability and reliability of servers, network devices, and remote access. There is no need to frequently reconfigure IP addresses, which greatly simplifies management. Static IP is particularly important for services that need to maintain long-term connections, such as FTP servers, VPNs, remote desktops, etc.

2. Security: Static IP supports IP whitelist function, and adding devices to the whitelist can significantly improve security. At the same time, for users who frequently perform network operations, such as crawlers, automated tasks, etc., static IP can avoid the risk of being blocked due to frequent IP changes.

3. Controllability: Static IP allows users to customize DNS servers to improve website access speed and security. In addition, static IP also supports port forwarding function, which is convenient for building various network services.

4. Enterprise-level applications: In an enterprise environment, static IP is an ideal choice for key applications such as VPN servers and cloud servers. It ensures that remote users can stably connect to the company's internal network and provides a stable public network access address.
