IP addresses are home addresses for computers 🏠💻

Without an address, your data is just a package saying:
“To the person I mean.”

The new Networking for Humans post explains IP addresses with delivery, houses, and zero subnet panic.

N-gated Hacker News May 15

🚨 Breaking News, folks: Mullvad, the revolutionary VPN that's only 20,000 servers short of being average, has discovered that using the same IP over and over might actually identify you. 🔎 Because nothing screams privacy like a "deterministically picked" IP. 😂 #PrivacyOops

Mullvad exit IPs as a fingerprinting vector

Update 5/29: Mullvad has begun rolling out a mitigation feature on their servers that scrambles exit IP positions, thereby fixing this issue. IPs are still deterministically selected based on the pubkey. Mullvad is one of the few VPN providers that offers multiple exit IPs for its servers. If two people connect to the same server, they will usually end up with different public IPs. With only 578 servers (compared to Proton VPN’s 20,000), this kind of vertical scaling makes sense to avoid cramming too many users onto one IP, which would be a problem on sites with overzealous IP blocks and ratelimits.

The council says it like a few poo-bag-leaving dog lovers have each stuffed in thousands of votes, but aren't shared IP addresses just the normal way that ISPs work? Don't they just rotate a pool of addresses among their customers?

I'm not a networking expert, but I feel like I know a teensy bit more than whoever evaluated the survey responses 🤔
