If it blocks your IP, wouldn’t everyone who came to your house get banned as long as they’re using your Wi-Fi?

    Normally yes, but they may only do it for the “evil people using a hardened Browser” as they will recognize everyone of those Chrome, Edge or Safari users perfectly. Along with Opera, Vivaldi, Samsung Internet etc

      Your IP address changes every 24h, doesnt it? How are IP bans effective at all?

          I was talking about ipv4 addresses. There is no interner service provider that I’m aware of that gives non-business customers static ipv4 addresses.

            I had 65.25.55.55 for over two years, even after multiple router reboots. It took a modem upgrade to lose me my address.

            That the address is dynamic does not imply it changes every 24 hours.
