    We’re talking about temporary bans here, which do work against spam. Private users do have dynamic IPs, but at home I think I’ve had the same IP for years. They don’t wildly switch them around.

    On second thought the IP is probably not federated though, so if there isn’t a common IP block list which instances subscribe to it won’t work.

      Every time my router restarts I get a fresh wan IP. I can also manually grab a new one via the DHCP release/renew functions in it’s config page.

        Weird, are you 100% sure? I can restart my router all day, my ISP gives me the same IP back pretty much every time.

        Probably depends on the ISP.
