[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1108826, member: 96560"] Something you are overlooking. Once you have a static ip, your attacker can Always find you. You'll never know when you will attract an attacker, something you did on social media, some opinion stated, some smart ass remark .... I wouldn't take that risk just to gain some supposed speed advantage of a few milliseconds and avoid a few capcha's . You might say how the hell is he going to find my ip? Well, he can hack this forum, for example, and he'll find you in the logs very quickly. How troublesome is that - he hack things as a hobby. A few SQL-injection attempts is probably all it takes. To reiterate, having a static ip is not a risk you want to take lightly. And if you are still interested, don't be tempted to run servers ( web server, game server, ftpd etc ) which increases your attack surface significantly. Exploits for those things are readily available. [/QUOTE]
