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