Correct me if I'm wrong but ISPs dynamically assign WAN IPs to the vast majority of their non-enterprise consumer base, right? If that's the case, how would historical posts on 4chan have any relevant data to dox someone with? Wouldn't the window of opportunity have passed for pretty much everything older than a few weeks?
@AstralPath For the average person, there's nothing you can do with an IP address... for the authorities, they don't care if it's a dynamic IP address or not, all they have to do is ask the ISP who will check the time and day...
And I honestly don't know to what extent dynamic IP is implemented or not.
