Static IP Address

Fixed IPs that keep Stripchat mirrors reachable.

Definition​

A static IP address is manually assigned and does not change over time. ISPs usually sell static IPs as add-ons, while servers in data centers already have them.

Why it matters​

  • Reliable mirrors: Static IPs prevent DNS from pointing at stale addresses when hosting unblock nodes.
  • Access control: Stripchat and payment portals can whitelist static IPs for moderator dashboards.
  • Audit trails: Static addresses make it easier to trace abuse; use privacy tools if you don't want activity tied to you.

Tips​

  1. If your ISP charges for static IPs, evaluate whether cloud hosting is more cost-effective.
  2. When publishing static IPs, secure them with firewalls and rate limits.
  3. Remember that static IPs don't equal privacy - pair with VPNs when browsing as a user.
